Review on Fila Women's Memory Workshift Cross Training Shoes for Athletic Women by Thomas Mertz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Stiff and chunky for gym and cross training

I usually buy Avia shoes for work when I'm on my feet up to 10 hours a day. They appeared as featured items and were significantly cheaper. I needed new ones and there wasn't enough money, so I took a chance. BIG MISTAKE! They fit perfectly and felt good when I just tried them on. But then I wore them to work (I describe the movement of my job as paying for a basketball game for 8 hours). after 2 hours my feet, legs, back and hips all hurt. The shoes are very stiff and do not flex with the foot. I was almost like wearing clogs. I felt very uncomfortable in them. At the end of the shift I was in so much pain that I could hardly move. Sure, I usually get sick anyway, but NOTHING like that. All in all, it might be great for someone else. But for me with plantar fasciitis, arthritis and knee problems this is a definite NO!

Pros
  • Shoes
Cons
