This review will not apply to most of you, but I hope it helps those who wear AFOs (Ankle-Foot-Orthotics) or KAFOs (Knee-Ankle-Foot-Orthotics), more commonly known as leg braces. I wear KAFOs on both legs. My KAFOs have a hinged metal ankle joint and an attached foot plate that is custom molded to fit each foot. See the photos. While my feet are rather small, the ankle joint and foot plate are bulky, so I require an extra wide shoe. In the past, I have purchased so-called "wide" shoes that were seldom wide enough and often required days or even weeks on a shoe stretcher before I could wear them. Even so, they were still a tight fit and not particularly comfortable. In addition, as those of you with AFOs or KAFOs probably know, bending to tie shoelaces can also be a pain in the ... back! These shoes solved both problems for me. I ordered two pairs of these from Amazon, one size 9 Wide and the other size 9 X-Wide. I should have known that the "Wide" pair would not be wide enough. Indeed, I returned them to Amazon right away. But the X-Wide pair is superb. The shoes easily fit over the ankle joint and foot plate of my leg braces. In addition, these shoes have a generous instep, so there is no unwanted pressure on the tops of my feet or toes. A painful bunion on my right foot is painful no more. As an added bonus, these shoes have Velcro closures rather than shoelaces. No more contortions when tying my shoes. And there is a SECOND added bonus: The shoes are made with slip-resistant soles. These shoes are available in the X-Wide width in men's sizes from 8 to 12. A similar shoe is available for women: https://www.amazon.com/Avia-Womens-Avi-Union-Strap-Service/dp/B07B4K2GQ4 I can't guarantee that these shoes will work for every AFO or KAFO user. I can only say that they are the best off-the-shelf shoes that THIS KAFO user has found.

I only have one hand so I can’t tie laces, needless to say these shoes are great for me! They may be Velcro but they’re stylish, not your grandpa’s Velcro shoes. Another great feature is the slip-resistant soles! The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is this: these shoes run narrow. So originally I ordered a “wide” but it was basically a normal width. So I returned and ordered an “extra wide” and they fit great! So order accordingly. “Extra Wide” is wide. “Wide” is normal. And “regular” is narrow. For the price, you can’t go wrong! I immediately went back and bought another pair for a backup.

I love these shoes it’s hard to find a good shoe for a diabetic like myself but these are wonderful.

Love them, nice fit, no more laces.... Does that mean I'm officially old? Either way, I like not having laces anymore, they adjust easily, the velcro stays on tight or loose as you want and is comfy. Maybe the soles at the bottom of the shoes could be a little wider to feel more stable but it's not too bad. I wore them in the rain and snow and no issues, keep out of puddles I felt slight dampness but mostly dry. The rubber on the bottom could be a little less slippery and more grippery IMO. They don't seem to get odorous easily and great when I ride my motorcycle and didn't change into my riding boots that also have velcro. Laces and motorcycle shifters and chains/belts can be dangerous so these work great if you wear them.

I purchased several pairs of Avia-Union II shoes and have worn them daily. Even at 70, I walk for hours each day and usually in the Avia shoes. Here is my review: Strengths: (1) Comfort. These shoes are amazingly comfortable walking. My "sample size" is large, because as stated above, I walk hours each day, 7 days a week in these shoes. And every time I walk in these shoes, I am still amazed at the degree of comfort. There is a great degree of padding that can be felt while walking. (2) Easy to Put On. The two velcro straps per shoe make it very easy to secure; much better than the standard shoe laces. (3) Price. For about $50, these shoes are a bargain. Weaknesses: (1) After about one year wearing these shoes almost every day, the shoes have started to separate at the toes on both shoes. So the shoes are falling apart.

Great fit. Feels comfortable

I wore these shoes for a week and they look like they’re 6 months old which is how old my shoes were that I was replacing but now I’m back to wearing because these shoes are terribly constructed. The soles on these shoes started separating after just 3 days of use and after one week I was tripping over them when I walked so I had to go back to wearing my old shoes. Now I’m hard on shoes, as a farmer I check wells walking through mud and working in both dirt as well as on concrete I get about 6 months out of a pair of shoes but these shoes only made it 6 days and even then on the third day the soles were already coming off while my other pairs of shoes even after 6 months of hard use the soles are still intact. For the price I’ve ordered some shoe glue and maybe get the soles glued on to where I can at least get a couple months of use. My problem is finding shoes in my size 15EW that are reasonably priced that I can get around 6 months of use for around $10 a month but $40+ for 6 days is a little too expensive. Lesson learned and maybe with the shoe glue I can salvage these to hopefully get a few more weeks and hopefully a few months but I don’t have much hope in the quality of these shoes.

I got it on 19th June 2023. Now its only 8th Sep 2023. Not even 3 months the front part of my right pair is sticking out.. I cant believe it. I wear it for my food service work. Cannot last. Wont purchase it again.

very comfortable the sole at the front lifts after 5 months exactly the same as reebok reglueing works

Size issue Was small 45EU but other footwear is fitted After replacing to 45.5 wide its alright Thx

They fit as expected
