These are adorable but not for working out. I just wear them as casual sneakers. They are comfortable but not enough support and grip on the bottom to workout in. Nice price for an everyday shoe though.

Polo Ralph Lauren Vancouver Zip Toddler/Little Kids/Big Kids Review
I bought this in a size 5 M US for my 18month old daughter but when it arrived I could fit the shoes. I think the saler should be more in detail with sizes & ages of the products their advertising for sale on Amazon. Beautiful shoes I just hope I can find the same shoe right size for my daughter :) I give it 4 stars cause of my situation"
AVIA Men's Avi-Trailside Trail Running Shoe Review
For the price these are decent shoes. Good cushion and materials for a trail running shoe. I find very little difference in quality between these shoes and other's I've owned for twice the price. They are a tiny bit heavier than, say, some of the ASICS I've used, but they are also one third the price. I don't think you will go wrong with these shoes because they don't cost and arm and a leg.

Columbia Men's Master Fly Trail Shoe Reviews
I had looked at these shoes on the Columbia website many times but was reluctant to purchase them because I hate having to return online purchases. I looked on Amazon one day and noticed they had the shoes as well with Prime shipping and free returns so I figured I'd go ahead with my purchase. I was not disappointed. When the box arrived, I honestly thought they forgot to package the shoes. They are super light but have an excellent sole to them, making them great for everyday use or hikes. They also have a well made, strong exterior for hikes where your feet may hit against rocks in weird angles. Would recommend to anyone. They do run slightly narrow, so if you have wider feet, it may take a while for the shoes to fit right until they are fully broken in.

These are great shoes. Extremely light weight and I love that they are waterproof. They fit very well but are a tiny bit snug for the first couple weeks of wear. Other than that I love themBest Deals on Columbia Men's Master Fly Trail Shoe
I bought these shoes as an all-purpose light hiker to take on rocky, muddy, sandy, and anything-you-can-name hikes. Amazon shipping as always was very prompt. I usually wear a comfortable size 13 (which is what I bought), and these seemed to have a little extra room. But this isn't too much of a problem since the laces allowed me to snug the shoes so as not to get any wear spots. The shoes were a bit stiff upon arrival but broke in quite quickly. They are very light and have a great look to them. Beyond that, I took these drudging through a muddy rain forest hike, and the colors hid the dried mud very well so that a day or so later it wasn't very obvious that I was nearly ankle deep in mud with them. They worked well also on rocky hikes, but might be a little soft for very long hikes on rough rocky surfaces. Over all I love this shoe as an all-purpose hiker.Honest reviews on Columbia Men's Master Fly Trail Shoe
I get compliments on the shoes all the time. They are pretty comfy and I enjoy the sock free experience.

I couldn't find anything like this in any store around the area. I'm so glad I looked online before buying a pair that I really didn't care for. I was surprised at how light weight they ended up being. I'm just hoping they really are waterproof as advertised. I will update this when I run into water.

New Balance is fantastic. Not only do they build a quality product for a reasonable price in America, but they offer wide sizes on most products. I'm using huaraches or running pure barefoot as often as possible. After long runs, I'll use lotion on my feet and walk around in NB XC flats, or Minimus in a wide size. Wide sizes are the key.

Brooks Women's Ghost GTX Running Shoes Reviews
I bought these after trying many other shoes online by the buying-and-returning method and after I was finally at the end of my wits and patience. Since the physical stores are few-and-far between, you have to submit to this `site unseen' shopping which with shoes becomes a practical joke.
For some inexplicable reason, athletic shoe manufacturers came up with the `original' idea to change the standard sizes on us...buy a 9 to fit an 8 or buy an 8 to fit your 9.
By the same token, I decided that from now on after all these years of being 5'4" tall, I will be 6'8"... why not?
Well, I guess it was worth the search and pain, because these shoes literally hug your overworked, tired pugs. I use them for walking 3-5 miles a day. I'm a bit over the slim line, not a spring chick anymore, so I needed a cushy, pampering sweetheart of a shoe for serious all-season walking.
I took them out of the box, put my orthotics in and then my bare feet. Victory!
Walked that very first day in them, no breaking-in necessary, just utter bliss.
I used to run many years ago too, but problems with knees and foot surgeries have closed that avenue for me. These let your foot do its walking, just gently protecting your stride, no shouting, no rubbing, no clenching. That's why I think these are also excellent for running.
When you're young and trim it's easy, everything fits pretty much like a glove. But the real challenge is to make the not-so-trim and not-so-young comfortable and I think these shoes do.
They're very light, soft and flexible, roomy toe-box, easy to put on and take off. If you're always in a hurry like me and you slip in them lace tied, make sure you use a shoehorn to keep your shoes longer. It takes 10 seconds more but it could mean 6 months longer of shoe life. (I know because I've ruined most of my shoes by crushing the back...).
Still, a half size larger is a better choice so your pedicure won't hit the front or to give you a bit more room if your foot is wider.
A few suggestions to the Brooks people: The shiny patent leather trim was a no-no... It's a running shoe not a night at the Opera.
Also, the arch support needs to be more pronounced, otherwise you have to add to it.
On the positive side, it's great that the shoe is a basic black, it keeps looking new longer and it goes with any slimming black walking outfit. The best of it is that it's waterproof, so you can venture out for a walk/run in the rain.
I can say that this is definitely a user-friendly shoe. `Hi, I'm your new shoe. Can we walk?'
The shoes themselves are exactly what I wanted. They provide tons of support and the arch height is perfect. I am an aerobics instructor, so I am always trying to find shoes that I can use to teach in, but can be used to run in as well.
The color is exactly as it looks on Amazon.com.
I did order a half-size bigger than my true size, as I read that they run small. That is true. They fit perfectly just a half-size bigger.
Thanks for being awesome Brooks!!!
They functioned well for the first month or so, reliably keeping my feet dry on damp pavement, through shallow puddles and wet grass (unless it was a downpour and water came in over the tops, of course, but that's not the shoe's fault). However, after a month or so of daily wear I started noticing water seeping in around the toe box and balls of my feet, usually when walking in wet grass. This continued to slowly get worse until now they aren't waterproof for more than a few minutes. They also take FOREVER to dry out... even with insoles removed and shoes unlaced/opened up, it is a couple of days before they are dry again! You can imagine that this has created a very special stink that none of my other non-waterproof running shoes have (they also dry faster, by the way more breathable I guess!). These shoes also show a surprising amount of wear around the heel cup.
For $130, I expected much better. I will not buy them again I would rather have wet feet in my regular sneakers than pay extra for wet AND stinky feet!

Best Deals on Brooks Women's Ghost GTX Running Shoes
I bought these last fall in hopes that they would keep my feet relatively dry while walking the dog in the wet Seattle winter. The fit seems true to size; I usually wear an 8.5 in dress shoes, 9 in street shoes, and size up to a 9.5 for running shoes, and the 9.5 Ghost GTX fit me well a little stiff for the first couple wears, but softened up nicely.They functioned well for the first month or so, reliably keeping my feet dry on damp pavement, through shallow puddles and wet grass (unless it was a downpour and water came in over the tops, of course, but that's not the shoe's fault).

Best Superfeet Blue Premium Insoles Deals
I work out a lot, but I'm built kinda like a linebacker, and find that after doing stairmaster or treadmill, my feet are usually pretty sore in the arch area. So, I'm a prime candidate for needing more arch support, something that Superfeet are supposed to give you.
They do cup your heel just about right and follow the shape/last of the shoe well. Properly-sized, they will give you MODERATELY more support/less soreness, though they certainly don't eliminate sorenessthey're no magic bullet. Still, better than other inserts I've tried.
The one thing I don't like (aside from them being a bit pricey for what they are) is that Superfeet's idea of what is a high or low-arched foot is a bit off. No matter what it says on the box, the various Superfeet models actually work out like this (as of their early '09 lineup):
GreenSUPER high-arched insoles, only good for ppl with REALLY high arches, will be torture for anyone else who has 'em on their feet for more than a few minutes. Gitmo-approved. o_0
BlueIt says "ideal for low to medium-arched feet" on the back of the box, but its more like 'ideal for medium to high' arches, actually. I have fairly low-arched (but not flat) feet, and while the blues felt okay in the store, after using them for a few days it was quite obvious that these were *not* it. I felt like I was walking around in high heels or something... definitely TOO MUCH arch support, to the point of being mildly painful. Not good.
BlackThese are allegedly for 'flat or sensitive' feet. I'd say instead they're the TRUE Superfeet product for low-arched feet. These are the ones that ultimately ended up working for me, but I am annoyed that I wasted money on the blues. In fact, the salesperson had tried to talk me into the GREENS at first, even after seeing my feet, but a few laps around the store showed me the horror of that. WTH?
Basically, what I think is going on is that what Superfeet is trying to sell you is SUPPORT, so they want to get you into the highest/'most supportive' insoles they can, so that you go, "Gee, wow, what a difference, so much support."
The problem with that, of course, is that you end up basically KILLING your feet, because going too high in the arch on these things will just mess you up, ESPECIALLY if you're heavier-than-average, like me. What feels about right in the store will seem TOO HIGH after a few days, trust me.
In short, these are moderately helpful, and deserve kudos for being better than most other insoles out there, but go one support/height level LOWER than what the box tells you, particularly if you're heavier than average (muscle or fat).
Again, IGNORE THE BOX, the REAL sizing is:
greens for very high arches
blue for medium or high arches
blacks for low arches (anything even slightly below medium, really)
Flat feet, I dunno, likely just a *shoe* with good arch support, no special insoles.
Hope this is helpful.
I suffered from heel pain and didn't know what it was. I kept buying jell shoe insert to no avail. I finally went to my family doctor who quickly diagnosed it to be Plantar Fasciitis and prescribed Superfeet. (I am not a podiatrist, so take it as it is worth: the telltale of Plantar Fasciitis is that it hurt a lot when I got up in the morning then it became better after a few steps.) I took a look at Superfeet and didn't believe it because Superfeet was simply a "piece of very hard plastic" for close to $40 while other inserts were only $10.
Furthermore, when I gave Superfeet a try, buying exactly my shoe size, selecting a random arch, it hurt even more. Through trials and errors, I found a method that will help.
Some other reviewers wrote about ignoring the shoe size and going for the right fit of the foot arch. I cannot emphasize this enough. It doesn't matter what the size of Superfeet is, when you have the right one, the contour of Superfeet should fit the curve under your foot arch perfectly. The rest of Superfeet could be trimmed.
There are two critical factors: 1) the right arch (flat, low, medium, or high arch) and 2) the right fit of the foot from the heel forward. Superfeet has different colors for different arches. It is too much trouble to define whether you have a low, or medium or high arch. Just try on several Superfeet sizes and several colors (for the arch) until you find the Superfeet that fits your heel and your arch perfectly. The rest of the insert can be trimmed. This is difficult if you buy online. So find a store that sells Superfeet to try out, and if they have a good price, give them the business. If not, there are Amazon.com and other online stores.
There are a few more conditions to make it a success and no pain: when you trim the inserts, trim slowly. You cannot untrim what you cut too short. The right way is to trim it so that Superfeet is about 1/16" to 1/8" *smaller* than your inner sole toward the front/toes. After inserting Superfeet, you can put your hand and fingers into the shoe to feel the gap around the insert toward the front. In other words, Superfeet will need to be able to move a little not a lot while you walk, so that it fits perfectly under your foot. You can experiment the exact size of the insole to find out for yourself. You can always trim it smaller. Also, please remember to remove the removable insole. Believe me. I thought leaving the insole I would get some cushioning to assist this hard plastic. Not true. Superfeet needs to rest on hard sole to provide the balance you need to relieve the pain.
Hope your experience is as pleasant as mine and that you won't have to pay a lot for customed orthotics.
It's very easy to fit these to your shoes. I just pulled out the insert that came with my shoe, and traced it onto the back of the Superfeet using a Sharpie. Then I cut it out on the inside of that line, very carefully. No problems, just don't do it hastily because you don't want to cut them too short and end up paying double.
They don't look like much, they're a relatively thin insert (compared to those 'regular' brands like Dr. Scholls that are heavily padded), so I was really skeptical that they'd have any impact. But they work! They're the only thing that's allowed me to be able to walk the 10 minutes to school without any issues. Before I used these, it was so painful just standing in the shower. I find that if I'm doing lengthy housework (barefooted) that my feet just begin to have a dull ache, especially in the heel. So sometimes I use the Superfeet designed for women's flats, and walk around in cotton flats.
I've been really surprised at how well these work. I didn't know why I doubted these to begin with, because the Dr. Scholls and others I've tried did absolutely nothing! It's been 9 months I can't imagine going anywhere without wearing these. If I'm walking for 1+ hours, my feet will ache a bit, but nowhere near where they were before. Well worth the $35, and this coming from a broke college student.
I am an avid golfer and I like to walk the golf course as an exercise. Becuase walking through an 18 hole golf course is equivalent to walking 2 miles in 4 hours, the foot can be very sore afterwards. To allevitate my footpain, I decided to use Superfeet in a very comfortable Nike golf shoe.
Superfeet was way more comfortable than either Dr Scholls or Orthipidics in the same shoe. Furthermore, my foot was hardly sore after an 18 holes of golf.
The only downside of these soles is they are slippery, so your foot tends to slide within the shoe. But this can be ameliorated by tying the shoe little more tightly.
The bottom line: if substantially reducing footpain from a long arduous walk is your primary concern, then these are the best if you want to pay for them.
They do cup your heel just about right and follow the shape/last of the shoe well. Properly-sized, they will give you MODERATELY more support/less soreness, though they certainly don't eliminate sorenessthey're no magic bullet. Still, better than other inserts I've tried.

But it is also 2-3 times the cost of either one.I am an avid golfer and I like to walk the golf course as an exercise. Becuase walking through an 18 hole golf course is equivalent to walking 2 miles in 4 hours, the foot can be very sore afterwards. To allevitate my footpain, I decided to use Superfeet in a very comfortable Nike golf shoe.
Superfeet was way more comfortable than either Dr Scholls or Orthipidics in the same shoe. Furthermore, my foot was hardly sore after an 18 holes of golf.
The only downside of these soles is they are slippery, so your foot tends to slide within the shoe. But this can be ameliorated by tying the shoe little more tightly.
The bottom line: if substantially reducing footpain from a long arduous walk is your primary concern, then these are the best if you want to pay for them.

I was recommended these by my podiatrist for some joint issues in my foot. They've improved the way I walk immensely in the month that I've had them, and I'm in the latter half of marathon training. They hold up well, but they are not designed for wide feet. I'm a 2E-4E, and they don't take up the whole width of the shoe in the toe-box area. It isn't too bad, but is noticeable if I move my big toe the right way. Why, why, why not make the insole about a 1/2 wider at the end so this wouldn't be a problem? Just a heads up... this is not a cushiony insole. It's designed to force your foot to roll correctly.
New Balance Women's WLS442 Casual Running Shoe Reviews
Oh...they are put together well enough but I could barely get them on (and I know I ordered the right size) and then when I did I felt as if I were wearing slippers. I usually praise New Balance...this is a first for me...very disappointing!
Not to mention they're really cute on. Sleek with the fun blue laces that give off a little pop. They aren't like their running shoes, so anyone thinking they'll have fantastic cushion and {running} support shouldn't expect these to be like that. They're lightweight walking shoes. Nothing more.

Bases on some reviews, I was really prepared to not like them and send them back, but as soon as I tried them on, I loved them. They fit true to NB size. I've always been a 9.5 in NB and these hold true to the size. They're snug without being overly tight. My feet never slip out, they still have cushion and are great walking shoes.Not to mention they're really cute on. Sleek with the fun blue laces that give off a little pop.

I always wear New Balance and wear the same size all the time. This pair is very tight and on the small side. I like the looks but not sure if they will be comfortable and I may be returning them.Honest reviews on New Balance Women's WLS442 Casual Running Shoe
I have terrible numbness/pain/tingling in my feet and these shoes really do help with this problem. I bought them for that purpose. Although I do not suffer with sugar, I have the same symptoms and footwear has become a problem. This shoe cushions well and helps with the shooting pains that come up into the heel bone. I believe I might get them in another color!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for New Balance Women's WLS442 Casual Running Shoe

Very pleased with item. Would recommend them to anyone. Fit was perfect, you really can't tell you have them on.Honest reviews on AVIA Women's Avi Roadside Running Shoe
It is exactly what I want. When running, you almost feel you are wearing no shoes at all. The only drawback is that the style is not that fashion.
Review of Brooks Men's Mach 14 Spike Running Shoe
Brooks has yet to disappoint me. We have 5 runners in the family and we all now wear Brooks road shoes. Bought these for my son for his Cross Country season. They are light weight and do the trick.Son cut 4 min off his time this year using these shoes. He loves them. Earn his Varsity letter and went to State with team.
