Who should buy the Avia Avi-Union
The Avi-Union is a walking shoe 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 durable, so it does not quickly wear out. It is 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 durable and flexible. It provides shock attenuation and prevents 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.
Comfort maximized
A molded EVA sockliner is found inside the footgear. It follows a person's foot shape and delivers maximum comfort.
The Avia Avi-Union's upper
The upper of the Avia Avi-Union is made of synthetic leather. This material withstands the wear and tear of everyday use. It has been treated with the Defender, a chemical produced by Scotchgard, that makes it 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.
