I bought this for my wife who is pregnant. While pregnant she does not want to go bonkers with exercise, so she thought toning shoes would be a good idea.

The shoe is beautiful. We first saw it at a high end running store and it caught my wife's eyes. However it was selling for over 100 dollars, which is cost prohibitive on our budget.

I bought this on amazon for 58 dollars. They also sell it reasonably priced at Kohls. Maybe you can get it real cheap with their 30%off coupons.

When we opened it, wow. what a quality shoe - the box is even nice. Nice design and subtle colors.  Lots of detail. Plus you can tell its a toning shoe, but not like others (e.g. Skechers) which seem to be overly chunky.

My wife tried the shoes a few times already and loves them. I'll keep you posted as to how she likes them.

From this experience I will definately try other Avia shoes. Not just for my wife but for me too - I am a runner.
