APL Techloom Phantom Women's Running Shoes - Lightweight Performance Sneakers for Marathon Training & Gym Workouts | Athletic Propulsion Labs Comfortable Jogging Shoes

These shoes have exceeded my expectations!!!! They are very high quality and extremely comfortable! I had to do minimal breaking into them. I am a pilates instructer so these shoes will be perfect when I have to teach long hours. They fit my feet really well. I have very small and narrow feet (5-5.5) and they fit like a glove. The fabric is really breathable and easy to clean. I was wearing my APL shoes when I got into a bike accident and ended up going head first into a lake with rocks and I got some algae on one of the shoes. All I had to do was let them totally dry over night and take a wet wash cloth with some soap and rub it off and it was gone! Overall, the MOST comfortable trainer I have EVER worn! I can't wait to wear these while going on more adventures with them such as; riding a bike, traveling, teaching pilates, going for a runs, running errands, doing cartwheels in the grass, going to gym and lift weights, climbing stairs, climbing walls, etc the list goes on with these shoes! they are not only made for exercise but they are made for every day adventures AND activities! :-)My foot is normal width but the shoe was just too tight. I ordered the 10, it fit y foot just right with the exception of the width. So, I reordered the 11 and it fit the same. The shoe was super light. Disappointing.The shoe feels great. I run in these shoes. They are so light and comfortable. The only con is they are slip ons. I prefer the loose tongue so I can tie the shoe once and slip them on. These are tight to slip on. If you are ok with a slip on shoe, I recommend to buy these.I love these shoes!!! I have been trying to find a good pair of athletic shoes for a while now. I walk, do strength training and have an elliptical - nothing crazy but I have not been able to find a good pair of athletic shoes. I would say my feet are average too so it shouldn't be hard. I read about this brand in an article on best athletic shoes and took a chance and I am so glad I did!! They fit perfectly right out of the box, just like the article said. The support is just right and I was literally bouncing up and down the stairs in these shoes they felt so great! This is now my athletic shoe period.The shoe sizing is a bit off. It’s way too tight and the design isn’t flattering at all in person. I’ve always wanted to love APL but every time I try them on they’re disappointing me… I wanted to be a fan.Love these shoes. Have been wearing them for years!Though I had to send these back, I really did like them. So light-weight and attractive. However, I have an extremely high arch. They were the right length, but I wouldn't have been able to get my foot in with any size. I've never see this before - The tongue is sewn up to the sides of the shoe, so I couldn't move the tongue and loosen them to get my foot in. If you don't have a high-arch problem, it might be nice to get the bottom laces adjusted for you and just slip your foot in, tie, and be on your way. I was sad to have to send them back.I love these sneakers. The hype is truly worth it. I use them to workout (weigth training) and running. So far, my knees and ankles love them. They look cute and they are comfortable. My feet have a neutral stance and these sneakers have worked amazingly for me.Truly worth the price tag.
