Nike Ava Rover

So, so comfortable! I get home and I don't want to take them off. I see all the "runs small" comments" and normally wear an 11 and have a slightly wide foot, but 11 in these fits me perfectly. I want to get them in more colors, but here is my suggestion/request for Nike: please make more versions with the "swoosh" in the same color that surrounds it. I think most people prefer to minimize the logos, and these are really leisure shoes -- I don't care about a loud logo on athletic shoes, but in the post-covid world, these are getting worn to everything from nice dinners to the symphony, but a loud logo takes them out of that realm, for me anyway.

Good: Tried a pair of Ava Rovers out, and I was surprised at how comfortable they are. The ReactX foam feels so soft, yet not too soft, and manages to cushion each step. Some of the other reviews mention ordering a size up, I fit in my normal size of 15 with no issues, although my feet are not of above average width. The fit is amazing, when you put them on it feels like sliding gloves on your feet. They offer great traction, on wet surfaces they got excellent grip and stability. Ava Rovers are lightweight as well, you almost forget you have shoes on while wearing them. The colorways are great too but the pictures on the website are a bit misleading. The Black/Muslin pair, the sole looks way more of an off-white color, while on the website it appears to be more of a light tan color. They ended up looking even better than on the website. I even picked up a pair in Phantom/Light Bone, and the website image was misleading again. They appeared to be a shrimp colored upper with a white sole. The shoe I received had a white upper and light gray sole, which was once again even better than expected. Concerns: Tread on the sole looks a little thin compared to my DNs and other shoes. Hopefully future revisions have an option for thicker tread at the cost of a little more weight if durability turns out to be an issue. Also more reflective details would be nice, since they are only on the heel, wearing pants could cover them up. Finally I wish the laces were a bit thicker. Great shoes, will be buying a third pair when additional colorways are released. Keep em coming lol.

Comfy shoe. I’m always a 8.5 in Nike and ordered the same for this pair. I’m thinking I might have to send them back as they run a little small and not much room for stretching
