Air Force 1 High '07 "Black / White"

Reviewer J Henshaw

Amazing comfort. They may seem a bit tight when you first put them on, but as the memory foam adapts to the bottom of your foot the fit is great for me.

Reviewer N Bissell

The fit, construction and materials all seem first rate. I enjoy a 3 mile walk several times a week & Adidas Strutter Crosstrainers seem to breathe better than my old faithfuls. Cushioning is good.

This is my husband's second pair of Saucony gym shoes and he loves them. They're lightweight and comfortable. I don't know how they'd be for running but he wears them during his commute to and from the train station.

I have 6 pairs of Dunham shoes; these are my favorite. They are my daily walking shoes, but can easily fill in for going out to dinner or just hanging out. They look good and feel great. I do like the look a lot, with the gray suede and vents; I like this look much better than sneakers with funky neon designs and giant brand logos. These shoes have little arch support, which I prefer with my flat feet, but that might be a negative for some people.

PROs

Attractive and stylish for a sneaker - nice upscale look that can cover a wide range of activities from office casual to exercise.
Very comfortable, I love the fit. They are my best fitting shoes.
Seem to be made of quality materials
Decent amount of sturdiness for usage as a walking shoe or standing for lengths of time.
Sizing is pretty much true-to-size, you can purchase in your size with confidence. Perhaps they are slightly (1/4 size) short in length. Order a 1/2 size larger if you want some extra room or a margin of safety.

CONs

As mentioned, they are pretty flat. If you have a high arch you will probably not like these.
Outer sole is acceptable but a bit on the thin side. They don't feel plush and thick underfoot.
Price is all over the map, you will see them from $52 to $130. You're certainly overpaying if you spend more than $100, they are not really a $100+ shoe, more like a $60-$80 shoe imho

The first time I saw the "Backpack" line of shoes from New Balance, I knew that I'd one day be adding a pair to my collections of 574's. Nylon uppers just seems like a fantastic idea, since nylon is so easy to clean and keep clean. I liked the idea of being able to get them dirty, knowing that they'll clean up better then other 574's. Because of this, I might even wear them when I normally wouldn't want to get my shoes dirty.

I haven't had them long enough to make that decision, or know exactly how well they'll clean up, but there is something else different about them that immediately caught my attention. Ever since New Balance changed the manufacturing process for the 574's, I think they've been smaller and less comfortable then versions before that time. I just purchased another pair of 574's a couple of weeks back and noticed this immediately when putting them on, as I always do with a new pair of 574's nowadays.

This pair, however, feels more like the older 574's, because they're so comfortable. My first thought was that maybe they made them like the old ones, but after comparing them to numerous other pairs I have, both old and new, I don't think that's it. The soles still match the newer version (i.e. they're more narrow), but still, I'm pretty sure they have more toe room in the uppers, because they both look and feel as if they do.

I've been a little disappointed with every pair I've purchased, since they changed the manufacturing process, because they're just not as comfortable as they used to be. For whatever reason, these, however, seem closer to what I remember a new pair feeling like and that has me really happy. They are very comfortable shoes.

My daughter loves them and I can't believe they are still in style but then again why not. timeless shoes.
