Avia830 Men's Basketball Shoes, Retro High Top Sneakers for Men Indoor or Outdoor, Street or Court Size 7 to 16

This is the closest shoe I can find that replicates what hi-tops were actually like in the 1980's. Fantastic quality, superb looks, and makes me feel like I'm back in high-school getting rejected by all the girls again.

Excellent fit great value for the price don't feel the ground as much as I walk, comfortable fit and cushioning ankle support I want to love the style I recommend buying this item we'll purchase again.

Una maravilla de zapatillas hermosas y la calidad excelente la de siempre avía

Pretty nice. The ankle padding is nice, but the material is of a lesser quality and I could see it degrading quickly. Comfort i would have to give 3 stars. They are quite narrow even for my feet, which are not very wide. The quality of the leather used isn't the best, but they are under $100. I got permanent creases on the toe box upon 1st use, however I don't mind as I prefer a more weathered look on vintage sneakers. Overall the reason for my purchase was the style, the look of the shoe and in that department, they definitely do not disappoint. Biggest gripe I have however, is the lacing system. Waaay too much lace going on and it took me a good 10 mins of loosening and stretching to get my foot in them. Overall pretty satisfied, may purchase other colorways in the future.

Muy buen producto!!

I absolutely love these shoes, but I must include a qualifier, they do run narrow. However, my feet are narrow. Finally me and my Alpine ski feet can finally wear a cool pair of sneakers.

Delivered in perfect condition perfect fit.would definitely shop with this supplier again. Delivered 8 days early 100% satisfaction.

The most difficult part of writing this review is finding enough different ways to say how great these shoes are. The fit is fantastic. With the padded collar they're not that easy to slip on and off, so I don't use the very top eyelet for the laces, I just don't lace them that far up. High top basketball shoes are NOT supposed to be easy to get on and off; if they were, they're not doing their job. You can certainly skip a lace eyelet lower down the shoe as well if you need to be able to get them on and off easily. Remember, every hole doesn't need to be used, only what you need to be comfortable. If you don't lace them up fully you won't receive the full benefit of the padded collar, but the choice is yours. I wear mine on the street so I don't need full ankle protection. Back in the early to mid 1980s, I used to love the Avia brand of high top basketball shoes. When I got married in July 1985, after the wedding ceremony in the church ended, guess what shoes I changed into for the reception? White high top Avias. They were perfect with my white tux. I wore them the rest of the night, to include not only the reception but also the gift opening session and the dance. I've had many different athletic shoes over the years, mostly Nike brand, but I was so happy to finally find a pair of high top Avias that I liked that I just bought them again. I may buy a third pair. They are so comfortable it's hard to believe. The fit is true, sized as expected. They are very sharp shoes. If any of the kids refer to them as "dad shoes" I'll say, "Yup, you got that right. They're too cool for you." I wish Avia had risen to the heights of the athletic shoe kingdom in the same way that Nike has, but if they don't, at least keep making these affordable, attractive, comfortable shoes and I'll be happy to keep buying them. Welcome back, Avia. Damn good to have you on my feet and in my closet again. It's been too long.
