Avalon Corduroy

I typically wear a 7W in most shoes. I wear a 7.5 Wide in my Brooks Ghost Athletic Shoes. I have need a wide & somewhat deep toe box. I ordered the 7W. I wear orthotics from "The Walking Company" and find the ABEO line of shoes to really work for my foot "Most" of the time because they don't sell wide. Although the orthotic/footbed that comes in this shoe is much better than 95% of shoes on the market, it was not fantastically comfortable for me. I wore the shoes around the house at various times of the day, with fresh feet, and tired feet, and concluded they were not going to work for me. 1) I LOVE the look of them. They are stylish and fun! (which sometimes is hard to find in shoes that have a removable footbed for orthotics. 2) They are well made 3) They have a very supportive insole with arch support 4) They look good on my feet and with jeans. (However, If I was to keep them I would switch out the white laces for gray ones) 5) All that said, they were not "springy" enough for me - they didn't offer any internal cushioning. I wear the Brooks Ghost because they have Level 5 "Cushioning". I wear the Walking Company orthotics because I feel the cushioning in them. I felt I couldn't justify the price of these shoes when one of the main selling points of these shoe/brand is the footbed & orthotic.

These are my go-to shoes, for sure! Comfortable, stylish, fun! I get so many compliments -- I'm an old broad (in my late sixties) and these make me feel young. They're kicky, and they offer enough support that my broken hip-side leg is fully supported. A smart, stylish choice, in my view.

Very cute shoes, but they didn't do much to support my foot. I have Revitalign sandals and really like them, but the support for a high arch just wasn't there in this shoe.

I always have a difficult time getting a good fit because of bunions. These fit perfect!

I really like how soft and flexible this shoe is! It is very cute, wearing them now. The insole is really supportive, almost as good as my orthotics. I did not have such good success with other models in this brand but I love these black corduroy cuties. The velvety fabric is super black and sharp looking. The cream colored laces add a snappy contrast to give these sneakers a little more style. Perfect for errands and shopping. I wanted a shoe to wear with my leisure wear that did not look like gym shoes or trainers. Leisure sneakers, perfect.

I wasn't expecting to like these shoes as much as I did! They're actually very wide for a wide, maybe could have done a regular width. They inside sole does leave some staining on my socks from the color of the sole but not enough for me to hate these shoes. I would recommend these for anyone with wide feet who struggles to find cute shoes like these.

They were not what I was hoping for. I have very difficult feet to find comfy shoes for, I am a senior citizen and shopping for shoes has become tedious. Not the fault of Zappos.

These are very cute and soft, but they felt a bit narrow for a wide and unfortunately they put pressure on my little toe because of the spot where the lacing reinforcement hits my foot. IMO they don't have any forefoot cushioning to speak of. If you don't have sensitive feet (like I do) these would be a cute shoe for running around, but not walking long distances.

It's a bit premature to have a thorough review, but on arrival I feel very good about the selection of this style and fit. I have not tried them with my orthotics inserted; I've not tried them for walking outside. However, they seem well constructed; they feel very comfortable; and they are attractive.

I love the corduroy, colors offered and look of the shoe. 8 W is to wide and 8 M is to narrow in the toe.
