Nike Air Max 97 Silver White AT5458-100

Reviewer Brentano

I will first say that I love the look of these shoes! The worn in look is amazing and very well designed - giving these shoes a very lived in kind of feel.

The shoes look sharp but, this is where the kudos end. The shoes are indeed leather and did take some time to get used to and actually wear in. Once I had stretched them, they were more comfortable than their initial outings but, they are extremely narrow on my feet and have a slight sole - making them not the most comfortable shoes in the world. The length, shoe sizing is spot on at a 10 but, the narrowness definitely takes away from the overall feel of them. I guess it’s true when they say that amazing fashion will have to hurt sometimes.

I would recommend on the look alone and not the feel.

It’s been really hard to find shoes that I like for the last few years but these stuck out to me as I was browsing. The black suede is subtle, with the white banding for contrast to really set it apart. I was expecting a heavier shoe but these are lightweight and made well with the durable suede leather. I can confirm that they are in fact real suede and so I made sure to Scotchgard the moment they arrived so that they would not get damaged by rainy Weather. So far they have held up extremely well.
The main thing that I do not like about them is that the laces come to the very very top of the shoe. That means that if you need to tie them at all you have about half an inch. You should definitely expect to be buying replacement laces.

I was looking for a pair for barefoot-no sock wear. I wear a 10.5 with socks. For barefoot use, I prefer the 10 that typically fits out of the box. That didn’t happen here. The shoes in barefoot are cramped and stiff.

These are short in the toe and flops a blister on the heel. The sole is quite rigid. No doubt, the heel/sole could be solved with a double-sock break-in. With just one pair of socks, the toe is really too tight and the heel is still hot.

Otherwise, the shoes look great.

Purchased these for my husband as work shoes and he loved them!

Reviewer Da L Luo

These shoes look very similar to a Nike pair that I own. They are cushy inside and fit as expected. The overall workmanship and materials feel about like the quality I would expect from a target or Walmart shoe. These will make great work shoes, though I don’t expect them to last very long.

Excelent!! I love it!!

Reviewer Gary R Dardia

I am impressed with these shoes. Be careful if adding in soles it may make it tight. I use a heel and arch support for extra comfort. A full heel to toe in sole made the shoe tight at the front.

Reviewer Shelley L Patterson

I love how subtle these are. Not overly loud or flashy. They do wear out too quickly.

Reviewer H Melander

I'm hard on my shoes. I bought two pair of these to rotate to keep from wearing any one pair out too much. I've had them a few months and the soles are starting to wear - the treads peeling off in places. Haven't lasted as long as some other brands but have lasted longer than I would have guessed. So good but not great.

These shoes are amazing. I remembered my dad wearing these circa 1970. So, when I was looking for a Vans alternative, I thought I'd give them a try. I think I even had the kids version, but it might have been a different model. I am so glad I bought them. They are very basic, but that's all you need. I even bought a second pair in another color.
Most people would be a lot better off if they would just wear simple flat shoes like these without artificial arch support. I started wearing these about 5 days a week and my daily foot cramps are gone and my periodic plantar fasciitis has not returned.
As an added bonus, these stay good looking as I think the canvas is treated with something that repels water, etc. It makes them a bit warm at times, but it really seems to extend the time that they look good.
