These shoes are so comfortable.  I use them for walking.  I have a very high arch and  tend to supinate when I walk-therefore not just any shoe would do.  I tried Adidas, Nike and Reebok.  Not that they were bad-but these Avia's gave me arch support exactly where I needed it.  They don't give blisters and they are so light.  You can feel the air coming in through the shoe as they breathe very easily.  I wish they came in more colors.
