Anyone wear avia shoes?

[sue320]

I'm looking at the a681w but can't find sizing information. I usually order asics but can't find what I want so am going to try avia. In the asics, I order a 1/2 size up and that works. Anyone have any input?

TIA

I used to wear Avia exclusively and always found them true to size. However, I bought the black Avia crosstrainers that Cathe wears in KickMax a few months back, and they literally fell apart within two months:-( .

I run in the Avia 2119. I bought a 1/2 size up but I think you are supposed to do that with any running shoe.

Hope this helps.

I seem to always end up buying avia shoes and I find that my normal shoe size consistently works well.

I normally wear a size 7 , but always get a 6.5 in an Avia shoe. JMTC!

I've always found Avia shoes true to size. They're not very good for high-impact aerobics IMHO. The insides of their soles don't feel as "springy" as Rykas. I always end up putting insoles to make them feel better on my feet. The few ones I've bought have always ended up being used only while weight training. Maybe I've just been buying the wrong "models".

I just bought new AVIAs and love them. THey ran true to size; I didnot go up a halfsize. I actually found them more comfortable than the Rykas that everyone wears, and I have been wearing them about a month to do IMAX 3, Hardcore Extreme, Kickboxing, etc., and they feel great!

Good Luck!
