I really wanted to like this, but the heel area was just too hard and felt convex, like stepping on a dome. It seems very counterintuitive for a walking shoe designed for a heel strike. The rest of the shoe felt fine.

They don’t have the color I bought so I chose the closest one. These are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn plus I have a messed up foot and still the comfort is unbelievable. I wear a size 6 1/2 in other sneakers but in Nike I always take a 7 and since it suggested to size up I bought a 7 1/2 and it fit great. I have a small skinny foot but don’t wear narrow and this is a great fit. I am also almost 70 and this shoe makes me and my feet feel young!

This is the one of the best Nike ever owned. It has arch for your feet. Is comfortable I bought 4 pairs, unbelievable sneakers and I hope Nike never discontinue it. I have a lot of foot pain and all gone and i been wearing it almost a year. Please Nike make more like this and please don’t discontinue it and make more colors. Big Thank you to Nike.

“I truly think the biggest benefit of the Nike Motiva is the way it bounces you forward. You get a little groove and a little pep in your step, which makes you want to walk for miles.”
