Avia Men's 5000 Athletic Running Sneakers, Wide Width Available

These running shoes fit me perfectly, meaning they are 100% true to size. They are sturdy and nicely padded. But they offer little or no arch support. Enter orthotic inserts for $10-15. Rip out the shoes' original poor excuses for support, replace them with inserts, and suddenly you've bought yourself a valuable pair of all-season shoes for the price of two pairs of compression socks. On the orthotics market, the same shoes with inserts cost $170 yesterday, November 3, 2025.

As I've entered middle age, I've become less impressed by brand/labels and tend to seek value. I'm sick of paying $200 for walking shoes that nobody even sees. And ya, if I'm going to the gym or grocery, I'll wear something "cooler", but these shoes help my more expensive shoes last longer. I decided to take a shot on these after some article called them the $20 New Balance. I've been pleasantly surprised. I've got about 600 miles on them and I'm on my second pair of inserts. They are just about shot. I've just now started to get some pain on the outside of the ball of my left foot if I'm on my feet too long. My New Balance 990 lasted longer, but not 10× longer, which is the difference in price. Maybe twice as long. The appearance isnt great, but I'm used to having kind of bland shoes. I wear wide so they always limit us to like 1 color in brands like Nike. I'm very high arched, wide footed, and 6'3" 270 pounds. I'm buying my second pair immediately after submitting this review.

my husband loved these shoes he wanted me to order another pair in another color he said that they were so comfortable and had so much support i bought 3 pairs and these are the only ones he wears every day I'll be ordering more of them for him Thanks

Look good, nice tread for my winter walking, They are a great price compared to more expensive shoes that will likely have less longevity. They are a bit stiff at fist but are breaking in nicely. Bought a second pair to put away to fight future inflation.

These avia sneakers are so comfortable. I suffer with knee pain and back pain and these sneakers are everything to me. I have 4 colors. They are very durable. And they are stylish. My daughter my granddaughter my grandson all have them in different colors.

I will buy the shoes again and again. Wide fit with a thick sole is perfect for a heavier person. I could walk all day and the sole doesn’t wear out or become compressed. This is pair number 5 or 6 for me. You won’t be disappointed if you’re looking for comfort you can afford.

I bought one pair on Amazon at least a couple of years ago for twice the price so I just did a Google search, online price $24.95! so I got that pair now I kind of figured they were going to be what I wanted so I ordered another pair and then another pair three pairs for $75 and they are great!

Received quickly. Stylish and look good. Sizing is accurate. Tongue and heel are low as it says but fine. Extremely comfortable. Slightly heavier than today's featherweight running shoes but still good and I still consider them to be light. I added inner soles because I like more padding. Only time will tell how durable they are but I couldn't be happier. Thank you!

The Avia 5000 is excellent. There is plenty of room for the toes. Wide width is what it says it is. They are true to size. They also are made very nice and sturdy. Soles seem to help with balance problems. First time in a long time a shoe that fit!

I love everything about these shoes. The look, the comfort, the price, the value. They are inexpensive, but they don’t look cheap. I have a pair specifically for long walks and they’ve been holding up great and don’t make my feet hurt. Manufacturing could take a little more care in the consistency of the leather (one shoe might have smoother leather while the other is more rough) and the coloring of the logo on the tongue (one shoe is very bright, the other shoe doesn’t have as much color) but overall, these are minor complaints considering how great everything is about these shoes.
