Avia Avi-Union II Strap Non Slip Shoes for Men, Hook and Loop Mens Walking Shoes with Memory Foam, Comfort Restaurant and Diabetic Shoes for Men – Black Wide or Extra Wide Width Safety Footwear

First impression: great
I’ve walked my dogs 2 miles a day for the last 30+ years. My shoe of choice has been the Brooks velcro strap walking shoe – a great shoe that lasts a long time. But they also cost $130 bucks. But these Avias were on sale, so it was worth exploring a shoe I could rotate with the Brooks. I also like that they come in a gray instead of the usual white/black. The fit for my size 12 feet was perfect. Lighter weight than the Brooks & very comfortable. Will they fall apart? Time will tell. But at $35 bucks, I won’t be complaining too loud if they do.

For the price, it’s okay. Shoes last roughly 6 months
It lasted me about 6 months before they fell apart like this. But to be fair, pretty much every single shoe I’ve ever purchased no matter how expensive or cheap, they all last roughly the same amount of time. Because of this, Im fine with buying cheaper shoes.After 30 days of ownership, front of shoe started pulling off where the rubber meets the “leather” I’ve had to super glue them back on twice. Second time was around the 4th month of ownership.Now after roughly 6 months, these shoes have run their course and it’s time to purchase another pair.Also, aside from that, these shoes are pretty comfortable. They’re convenient because of the Velcro. I’m 27 and I’ve always hated having to tie my shoes multiple times per day. I don’t care who makes fun of me for wearing these, they’re so easy to just put on and get going instead of having to tie each shoe multiple times per day, deal with tough knots sometimes, and tripping on your shoe laces.These shoes are fairly water resistant only about for the first month or two of ownership before they start to degrade. Your socks won’t get wet in the rain, but if your shoe gets submerged in more than a 1 inch deep puddle, it will leech into the shoes.Memory foam soles provide good support until the adhesive holding them to the shoe starts to degrade and the soles just slide out and get folded and stuck under your feet while walking sometimes.Overall, 3.5/5 stars, or close to 4 stars. I’d like these to be about $5-$10 cheaper for them to be even more worth it. $39.99 is the max I’d pay for these. If these ever go up in price I’ll end up buying a different brand

Either size OK
I’ve worn 13D all my adult life. Based on comments that these shoes are slightly small I bought a pair of 13W. They are borderline a tiny bit short. OK as long as my toenails are trimmed. I then bought a pair of 14 regular width. They are noticeably longer. I find both wearable. They are as nice as Anodynes supplied to me by the VA and which are double to triple price. Most important to me is the very well done Velcro closers as it is difficult for me to reach down to tie laces.

Run short in length
I’ve purchased the size shoe so many times and it’s never been a problem. I got these and my toe goes right to the end and it’s the same size as every other shoe I’ve gone so I would suggest maybe going a half a size up if you’re going to purchase these. Otherwise, they’re exactly what I would expect from a shoe at this price. I chose not to try to return them because I needed shoes now. So I’m not saying anything about the return policy because I didn’t attempt any returned

I got it on 19th June 2023. Now its only 8th Sep 2023. Not even 3 months the front part of my right pair is sticking out.. I cant believe it. I wear it for my food service work. Cannot last. Wont purchase it again.

Size issueWas small 45EU but other footwear is fittedAfter replacing to 45.5 wide its alrightThx
