Nike Ava X

I honestly love the Nike Ava X. They're super lightweight and really easy to pack if you're traveling. The mesh upper is breathable, so my feet don't get too hot, and the cushioning is soft without feeling bulky. They're perfect for walking around, running errands, or light gym workouts. The only thing is they fit pretty snug, so I'd definitely go up half a size if you have wider feet like me. I wouldn't wear them for long runs, but they're awesome for an everyday shoe.

My first impression of these shoes: they made me think of water shoes. They are very breathable and the insole is comfortable. With that said, the right shoe is slightly smaller than the left when I measured them. This made the right tighter and a little more uncomfortable. (The tags show that they are the same size.) Also, the tongue and heel dig in after wearing and walking in them for awhile. Being that the shoes are breathable, they also show your sock color underneath, so keep that in mind. I personally like a more solid, less "packable" shoe that gives my feet and ankles a better fit, stability and comfort while walking and running. I like the heavier Nikes better. But anyone looking for less weight and airy, these are for you.

The Nike Ava X is easily one of the lightest sneakers I’ve worn. The Cushlon 3.0 midsole offers great low-profile cushioning that holds up really well for all-day walking and light gym sessions. The breathable upper keeps your feet cool, and the minimalist aesthetic looks clean with almost any casual or athletic outfit. A small heads-up: The fit can be a bit snug/narrow around the upper when you first slip them on. If you have wider feet or like a little extra room, I’d recommend going half a size up. Overall, a solid, comfortable daily shoe!
