Is the Avia Talus good for hiking?

It handles light trails, gravel and packed dirt well. For rocky, steep or wet hiking, a dedicated trail shoe with more aggressive tread is a better choice.

Does it come in wide widths?

Yes. The Talus is offered in wide sizing, which suits men who find standard shoes too narrow.

Can I use it for running?

It is a walking and light-trail shoe. Casual jogging is fine, but runners logging regular miles will want more cushioning and a running-specific outsole.

How does it compare with a basic sneaker?

The leather and mesh upper and rugged outsole make it more durable on outdoor surfaces than a casual sneaker, with a padded insole for longer walks.

What is the upper made of?

A mix of leather and mesh, which adds durability while letting some air through.

Our take on the Avia Men's Talus Rugged Walking Shoes

The Avia Talus is a men's walking and light-trail shoe with a leather and mesh upper, a lace-up fit and a padded insole. It is built for comfort on mixed surfaces rather than speed, and it comes in wide widths, which many budget trail shoes do not. It sits below dedicated trail runners on grip and support but offers more durability than a basic sneaker. Owners rate it highly, mostly for comfort and value.
