Zappos, wanna get married? I love you Zappos, I am writing this review in a horrific heat wave in Los Angeles in which my air conditioning is out and the fan doesn't reach the computer because you are the best. Zappos is a shining star for quality [you always know you are getting the real thing] and customer service [one year return policy???], and ease of shopping......before I found Zappos I almost purchased my Nike's from another site--but after reading the awful reviews of the other site which was apparently situated somewhere in Eastern Europe, thank goodness Zappo and I found each other. Got my shoes in one day. And no they did'nt ask me to review this product---I am just so grateful that they are so good after having had so many bad experiences. So, my question remains......wanna get hooked?

Ordered these for my fiancée. She loves them. Just the right amount of support on the bottom and of course she loves the colors and style. I think they look awesome on her feet as well. Highly recommend.

I had struggled with plantar fasciitis for several years before finding the Nike Aie Max. Since finding these well supportive shoes that provide style as well as comfort I no longer struggle to just walk across the room. If you are looking for a comfortable shoe these are the shoes for you.

My favorite athletic shoe is an airmax 360 and these are a close second. Not quite as cushy, but offer a bit more support overall.

I'm a very short person and these shoes for some reason make me feel a little bit taller then usual. Great balance for walking. A little to heavy for running. But overall a good buy. I bought a size 6.5 and my usual size is 7 in Air Max. But if your not big on wearing socks like I am 6.5 is fine. Unless you have wider feet.

Shoes arrived quickly and the fit is true to size. They are extremely comfortable and I would buy them again. Just put them on and you're good to go!

Just received these from Zappos. Ordered them yesterday, and they were here promptly today. These sneakers are comfortable right out of the box. Bought them to use them in my gym classes (I prefer running shoes for the gym). I will wear them later in my kickboxing class this evening to assess their performance.

I love these sneakers! I do aerobics with them on. I feel so much support and the mesh type top portion keep my feet feeling non restrictive.

I love these sneakers! I wear size 5.5 and they fit perfectly. I wore them right out of the box and love the vivid color! I'll probably get them in another color.

I love these shoes. I am a loyal Nike Tailwind fan and tried to find something similar in a local store. I bought more expensive shoes and wore them for a month, only to go to Zappos to purchase what I should have first. These are great walking shoe with strong support.

Very good-looking and comfortable with a bit of a heel for extra height. The grey on black looks quite sleek. I had to buy one whole size smaller, but I also tend to like a snug fit.

Gorgeous shoe. Love the cushioned sole which obviously makes it super comfortable while adding a little extra height too - fun! The colors are vibrant. This has been my go to Nike style for the last two years. The spot on style, durability & comfort I've yet to see beat.

I love these shoes. Unfortunately I had to exchange them from an 11 to a 10½. I have a smaller heel which makes sizing a challenge. I thank Zappos for having half sizes for us ladies at 10 and up. I have been an avid athlete and up until three years was still running and jumping. Now needing a knee replacement I have to wear shoes that are supportive in the heel and sole. These shoes are very supportive where I can walk all day. I think with the fabric used it will conform better to your foot if you think they are tight initially.

I really like the look of this shoes. I work in a warehouse so I need a really comfortable and supporting shoe. These felt comfortable for the first 5-6 hours. However, they started to make my feet sore after that.

I wanted a crisp, clean black/white shoe. This one fits the bill! Love it. I wear a 7 1/2 in all athletic shoes, including Nike, but this one seems to actually run a little big.

Once broken in, these are incredibly comfortable sneakers. Like most sneakers at first they were pretty stiff but after 2-3 days of walking around on them they got softer and felt more comfortable. I'm a student and at my job I'm on my feet a lot so I am constantly on the go running around everywhere. These sneakers have been a great asset in my daily wardrobe. I haven't tested them out on the track or gym yet but now that they're broken in I will. I've owned many pairs of Nike sneakers but these are my first pair of airs and I will definitely be buying additional pairs in other colors.

I am never buying Nikes again! They are so hard, stiff nonflexible and not padded enough! That is what I get for wanting to try some Air Maxs! I like the look and colors but that is it.

Not comfortable at all! Feel heavy and hard on your feet. They are beautiful but not proved themselves! I was in a trip with a lot of walking and feel like I was walking with high heels.

I was excited to get these shoes as I am a big fan of Air Max shoes and level of comfort but these were definitely a big disappointment. I have narrow feet and the Tailwind 8 were extremely tight around my feet. I tried to tie looser but that caused heel slippage. The toe box is very narrow- there is no room for toes to move. I tried ordering a half size larger but still the toe box was snug and anything larger would have been far too long in terms of length. I really wanted to like these shoes however I will have to find something else.
