Avia Avi-Union

Who should buy the Avia Avi-Union

The Avi-Union is a walking shoe designed for people who spend a lot of time on their feet. It is a solid option if: 

• A budget-friendly shoe that has quality materials and construction is what you need. 
• You prefer footwear that offers a reliable grip on wet surfaces. 

Sustained wet surface grip

The Avia Avi-Union utilizes a non-slip outsole. This rubber is meant to be durable, so it does not quickly wear out. It is engineered to be oil- and water-resistant which allows it to stay grippy on wet surfaces.

The flex grooves are found in the forefoot area. They promote natural foot flexion. The outsole also features a tread pattern that enhances its traction and supports quick direction changes.

High-wear platform

The Avia Avi-Union employs a full-length CMEVA foam. This cushioning platform is made to be durable and flexible. It provides shock attenuation to prevent injuries or discomfort.

The midsole is enhanced with the GELfōm and the Cantilever at the heel section. The components create a cup that centers the heel and keeps it steady with each step. It has a high-energy return[,] which results in a trampoline-like effect for improved shock absorption.

Comfort maximized

A molded EVA sockliner is found inside the footgear. It follows a person's foot shape to deliver maximum comfort.

The Avia Avi-Union's upper

The upper of the Avia Avi-Union is made of synthetic leather. This material is meant to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. It has been treated with the Defender, a chemical produced by Scotchgard, which allows it to be resistant to water, oil, and stains.

The shoe uses a traditional lacing system. Wearers can easily adjust the fit of the upper by loosening or tightening the laces. 

Supportive rearfoot section

The padded collar locks down the foot and prevents accidental shoe removal. It also keeps the ankle area supported and freed from irritation.
