Nike Motiva WMNS Sail / White EFAB1708

Reviewer Stacey Cheatham

This review is based on trying them on once.

I really like this shoe. It's very comfortable for an "old school sneaker", It has a removable insole with surprisingly good arch support and more cushioning then you'll find in a typical canvas sneaker. They're also very soft and won't rub your ankles raw. Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping them, but I find it difficult sending them back, because I like them so much (i.e. only so much closet room for shoes.)

The sizing is very accurate. They may run a little on the large side, but that's what I'd want, so I could wear them with heavy socks in Winter months. So, I disagree with those who suggest sizing up or down, because they're actually quite accurate (they're definitely not too small and I don't think they're even close to being too large, either.) The Teva brand used to run all over the place with sizing, but the last few pair I've owned and have been really consistent and accurate.

I didn't try them on a bike, but I suspect that they're very good bike riding shoes, because the soles are quite firm. In fact, I would have liked them better if the sole wasn't so firm, but I expected them to be firm as bike riding shoes. Overall, I think they're very nice sneakers, but I'm looking for something a little more fashion oriented.

These are sturdy and comfortable.

Reviewer Memphis Diva

Fits well, should have bought ankle socks to go with it. But great shoes

Reviewer bookdealers2

The shoes look and feel well made. A plus considering the price. The hook-and-loop fastener makes the shoes easy to put on and take off. There is not a lot of support for the arch of the foot, so I sometimes use an insert for extra support.

Reviewer geri chevalier

Great looking shoe, but even more important it's very comfortable! I typically wear size 10 1/2 shoes, but I wear size 11 in Sketchers. Worth trying on a pair somewhere before just ordering them. Great to wear with shorts or jeans.

These shoes are just like the ones you see in the dollar store, only the quality is far better. I liked the fact the soles were a bit thicker, and that the insoles were cushiony and comfortable. The best part about these shoes is that they are made of canvas, and are great for art projects-specifically for painting. I use an acrylic paint, and it applies so nicely to the shoe. The sizing is close to American sizing, albeit just a tad narrower. They wash well, and hold up fairly well as a daily wear. Not a bad deal at all on these kicks!

Reviewer C Harders

Great shoes that fit well and are very comfy. They do not hit my ankle when I walk. They don't have a lot of padding like a running or walking shoe, yet are very comfortable on a walk. I have worn them on a 5 mile fitness walk and they were good. I also have bunions and they do not have straps that hurt my feet like some shoes. I usually wear them for casual wear with pants.

Adidas shell toss have always been my go to shoes. These are authentic adidas shoes. Come in the adidas box, with paper liners. Shoes have held up now 6 months and look brand new still. No complaints for the price from me.

Reviewer Erin Ecenbarger

Because of the way this shoe is designed (having the elastic wedges) it's sort of impossible to lace these tight enough so your heel doesn't slip around a little when you walk. This isn't a huge deal if you want these for hanging out, office wear. But don't plan to walk much further than down the hall to the water cooler without some discomfort. They fit a little snug width wise, if you like thick socks, try a size up.

Reviewer eMilward

This is the second pair (identical) of these I have purchased recently. I never thought of my foot as being super wide, although I generally do buy wide shoes when available. But these are extra wide and oh so comfortable. I now have a pair for inside the house and outside the house. I recommend them highly.
