anybody try these shoes?

I haven't but I have really high arches and Avia shoes of any kind don't work for me.  I generally stick with Reebok or Asics.  Sorry I couldn't help I meant New Balance not Asics.  I can't seem to keep anything straight! If you have a high arch these might work for you. Denise

I have a high arch and instep, but so many of the shoes are too wide. I'm an average B width, but only Nike seems to work so far. I would like other options though. Do you find New Balance or Reebok to be the narrower of the two?

They both have roomy toe boxes but  Reeboks (especially the DMX series) are easier to tighten up the middle section to accomadate the thin foot.  I also have narrow feet. I have tried almost every brand. I also have this problem with regular shoes. Denise

I have only had mine for 48 hours and would not part with them.  

This is what I posted on my FB page about them:
I bought some Avia "toning shoes" after reading good reviews. Expected to be a little sore this morning after wearing them several hours yesterday, but I was not. I wore them when I walked 4 miles with John and my friend Kim today, and it was like walking on air. Would have gladly walked 2 more miles in these shoes.... Was it the shoes, or was it the good company?

I tried these on and all I can say is that they are awkward, very awkward.  I also think they look a little silly. I saw a guy wearing them at the library the other day and I kinda chuckled because he looked like he was losing his balance and kept falling a little forward.  I'm sorry, but I think these shoes are gimmicky and way overpriced.  It will be the fad of 2010.
