NORTIV 8Women's Walking Shoes Cushion Running Tennis Shoes ActiveFloat Non-Slip Comfortable Breathable Workout Gym Sports Athletic Fashion Sneakers

PLEASE SEE MY UPDATE BELOW. I was excited to get these shoes after reading so many good reviews and recommendations, but unfortunately they are not for me. In all fairness, I've never worn Hokas, which many people compared them to, so they may not be right for me either. I thought the fit was very funky. I measured my foot. I usually wear an 11 in an athletic shoe, and I really needed a 10.5 in these, but they didn't have the half size. My foot is medium width, and they feel large and wide and bulky. They do have great cushion. I wanted these to work because I have plantar fasciitis and I've spent a fortune on walking shoes. Because of the price, I'm keeping them, but I can't do any serious walking in them.UPDATE: I am updating my rating from 2 stars to 5 because of the customer service for these shoes. After posting this review as 2 stars, I was contacted by the seller who offered to give me a full refund since I was not satisfied with the shoes. I told them I was keeping the shoes as I had worn them outside to test them for walking and they were not like new. They insisted on refunding my money and even wanted to send me a different pair to try. I have never received such attentive customer service! Do not be afraid to try these shoes! Even though the fit wasn't right for me, you can be assured that they will make it right, and swiftly!

My foot measures (on one of those metal foot measuring things at shoe stores) right in between an 8-8.5 C width. I bought these in an 8.5 and it fits perfect in length and width. I have plantar fasciitis, so I have to use my own arch support inserts. The insoles they came with don't have much arch support, but that is typical these days bc it makes the shoe more customizable for different feet.I also have low-volume feet and my heel slips out of shoes bc the ankles are too loose/don't lace high enough to hold me in. These are PERFECT! ZERO SLIPPING!!! It has literally been YEARS since I've found a shoe that holds my foot in.One thing that took a few days to break in/get used to is the upward curve of the toes. I'm not used to that and I had pressure on my toenail beds from it (my toes don't touch the front of the shoe, so it's not too short in length, but if pressure from under is pushed upward it has a similar effect bc it pushes the bottom of your toes into your nails, which are hard.). But once the shoe was broken in, the issue/pressure went away. I suspect a lot of the people who think these are too narrow in the toes are actually experiencing the upward curve of the toebox.I switched out the laces for locklaces bc I hate tying my shoes.... I'm on my feet 8-13 hours a day (hospital worker), so as the day progresses the laces need to be adjusted/loosened and the locklaces make this quick and easy.

The shoes arrived in a clean cardboard box that looked as new as if it had just been pulled from a shoe store shelf. There were inserts to maintain their shape. The shoe ties were long enough to ensure a comfortable fit for my instep, arch, and sole, which tend to be painful. The toe box is roomier than my shoes from a couple of well-known, more expensive brands, and they’re true to size. They’re well-cushioned, light for their style & size, and felt supportive without being hard. So far, so good. We’ll see how they feel in a few months, but my bet is on their lasting well.Two small cons: the insole in one shoe came loose & attempted to follow my foot out of the shoe.The colors in the men’s line were more what I would have liked, especially the apricot shade.

On first impression....These feel comfortable, very similar to Hoka's. They aren't quite the quality of a Hoka but close enough when you consider the cost difference (I could buy 3 pair of these for the price of 1 pair of Hoka's). Visually, they do look a little clunkier than Hoka's due to the heal being thicker & the toe width being wider. I tried wearing a Hoka on one foot and the Norti V8 on the other & I stand taller on the Norti V8 foot. I do like the sleeker look of the Hoka but overall, I'm glad I bought these and I'm looking forward to seeing if they wear well.

I just wore out my first pair of Hokas and no other shoe I know of would suffice. Then an ad for these shoes from Amazon popped up on my phone. I decided to give them a try. because they cost 1/3 of what my other shoes cost, and I knew I could return if not satisfied. When they arrived, I put on one Hoka and one of these. They felt exactly the same! My feet need the support and cushioning Hoka provides. These shoes seemed to offer the same, so I kept them and wear them almost daily; they have not disappointed. Soft cushioning and insole support while light weight. I am satisfied!

I should get some kick back from this company I swear I am their walking billboard. Nurses are always on a quest to find that perfect shoe , that perfect sweet spot. And let’s face it most of us are bougie on a budget . I find these just as comfortable as my almost $200 pair of hokas ( which by the way only last 6 months and it took everything in my soul to slap down the $200 beans ) . I have been wearing these for the last 6 months and they still have all the great cushion and stability. They aren’t sloppy at all like my Hokas got . I will buy another pair as this pair is my second pair of these! Thank you for listening to the Nurses of the universe and bringing us an affordable comfortable shoe!
