5.0 out of 5 stars Great shoes for the money, April 18, 2005

My job requires me to do a lot of walking, so I needed an affordable-yet-comfortable pair of walking shoes to wear to work every day. When I came across these Men's Walk Platinum shoes for $29.99, I was a bit skeptical. I'm used to spending several times as much on Nike Air's, so I didn't know what to expect out of a $30 pair of Reebok's. So, for the heck of it, I ordered these shoes thinking to myself, "They're only 30 bucks, if I don't like them, oh well, no big deal".

Well, let me tell you, these shoes are much better than I expected and on par with the more expensive Nike's that I'm used to wearing in terms of comfort, style, and quality. Easily the best $30 I've ever spent, on shoes at least.

First of all, they look nicer in person than they do in the picture shown above, which makes them look cheap, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, they are somewhat bland-looking, but in a good way. I find them tasteful and conservative, unlike so many walking or running shoes out there that are 10 different colors and littered with all kinds of crazy styling cues like stripes, huge multi-colored logos, and such.

Quality is another area where these shoes excel. The leather is nicely stitched and the overall build quality is very good. A lot of shoes I've owned, especially Nike's, have had some noticeable defects such as poor stitching and inconsistent symmetry between the right and the left shoe. On one pair of Nike's I had, the left shoe was almost an inch taller than the right, no kidding! As a result, the left shoe had to be laced up tighter than the right just to fit correctly. Luckily, there are no such defects with this pair. They both match up quite nicely, very symmetrical.

Finally, and most importantly, is how comfortable they are. I find them to be every bit as comfortable as any of the Nike's I've had. The DMX air cushioning works extremely well, and you can actually feel the air moving under your feet as you walk. It feels great.

I only have one small, and I do mean small, complaint about these shoes: their "new shoe" smell. Fresh out of the box, these things smell like a mixture of paint and hairspray (yes, hairspray). The smell about knocked me over when I opened the box. Luckily, the smell dissipates after just a few days. No big deal.

Thanks for reading. I hope someone finds this review helpful!
