What Reviewers Say:
"I love my Avia 5000! I am so happy that they have leather and suede it gives the shoe a high end look. I believe I have 10 pair every time a new color or pattern comes out I must have. What makes me come back to this shoe is the cushion inside the shoe and the support the shoe gives my foot. I have yet to break the cushion down in these shoes."
"These are so pretty and comfortable! Look just like the high-end sneakers."
"I don't EVER leave reviews but theses shoes are great. Especially that they offer wide. I was searching for shoes and my coworker had told me about these. These shoes are top quality and aren't cheap at all. I can wear them my whole shift no foot pain or back pain. Plz just give them a try. I had to come back and get two more pairs in different colors. Not mention extremely affordable."
"Looked really cute with my outfits. This style of shoe is now the “in-style” look. People pay lots of money for name brand shoes that are very similar in style… I decided to take a more affordable route and received lots of compliments. I will be ordering more in different colors."
"Great dupe to the new balance, very comfortable, good quality and great price. The color is very neutral and true to size in my eyes. I'll probably buy one more pair I like them so much."
