Are these good for running?

They suit light treadmill or casual jogging, but the soft EVA and gel are tuned for comfort, not distance. Runners logging regular miles should look at a dedicated running shoe.

Do they fit true to size?

They are listed in standard US women's sizing with a medium width. Most owners report the fit is as expected.

What is the upper made of?

A breathable mesh upper with lace-up closure. It keeps feet cooler but gives limited structure.

Is there arch support?

The Memory Foam insole and EVA midsole cushion the foot, but arch support is modest. People needing firm support may want an insert.

What makes them different from a classic running shoe?

They keep the running-shoe shape but add a gel heel insert and Memory Foam insole for everyday comfort rather than performance.

Our take on the Avia Women's Sport Gel Performance Sneakers

These are lace-up women's athletic sneakers with a breathable mesh upper, a soft EVA midsole, a gel insert at the heel and a Memory Foam insole. They are aimed at casual walkers, gym-goers and anyone on their feet all day who wants cushioning without paying for a technical running shoe. Against pricier running brands they give up some stability and outsole durability, but owners rate them highly for everyday comfort.
