Stiff and Clunky
I usually buy Avia shoes for my job that I am on my feet up to 10 hours a day. These popped up as a recommended iten and were considerably cheaper. I needed new ones and I was tight on cash so I took the chance.... BIG MISTAKE! They fit right and they felt okay just standing in my house trying them on. But then I wore them to work (I describe movements of my job as paying a basketball game for 8 hours straight) ... within 2 hours, my feet, legs, back, hips, everything was hurting. They shoes are very stiff and do not flex with the feet. I was almost like wearing wooden clogs. I felt very clumsy in them. By the end of my shift I was in so much pain that I could barely move. Granted I am usually sore anyway, but NOTHING like this. All that said, these may be great for someone else. But for me, with plantar fasciitis, arthritis and knee issues these are a definite NO!
