WMNS Air Force 1 Fontanka "Yellow Strike"

Reviewer Andrew C Noyes

A fine pair of sneakers

Reviewer Smokey Combs

Good quality, fit as expected, very comfortable, and I would definitely buy again!

Reviewer Judy N Flora

Bought these because wearing my gym shoes for long days on my feet just was not fashionable. These shoes look great while being very comfortable to wear all day on my feet. They are super lightweight. The nylon is very thin and not very water resistant, but then again what nylon shoe is. For reference my gym shoes are Nike Free 5.0 and Flyknit 4.0. If those shoes are 10 out of 10 for comfort and support, I give these 9 out of 10. I cannot comment on durability, but I am going on vacation soon so we will see how they stand up to probably 100 miles of walking in the next month or so.

I'm not one willing to spend 100s of dollars on tennis/walking shoes. But, I do need the type of shoes that support and give comfort to my osto-knees. For, the money, these work for me. I bought a 2nd pair for down the road. I'm satisfied.

That's different from other folks with "regular" feet. The bones below my toes are exceptionally wide and yet I have a very narrow heel so many shoes just don't fit me well at all. If I get the toe box area wide enough to accommodate my foot, then the heel area is too wide. I usually use those sticky pads in the heel area to make it snug on my heel. Otherwise I walk out of the shoe. This pair, because they go above my ankle, bypasses the too wide of a heel section. I put on a pair of medium socks (not too thin or too thick), loosened the laces and did have a tiny bit of trouble getting my entire foot in the shoe, but once I did, I laced the shoes up medium-tight and walked around. Usually with shoes I have an initial bit of discomfort - the tops or the soles are stiff or my big toe hits an odd spot inside the shoe or whatever. Not so with these shoes! Aside from listening to a bit of interesting creaking/squeaking from the tops of the shoes when I took a step, the toe box area seemed wider than average shoes and my foot felt very comfortable in the area with no squeezing or discomfort in any way. My heels did not seem to slip around inside the shoes at all, maybe because these shoes hold the ankle fairly still. The leather seems to be of high quality - it has that good smell of quality leather and while leather itself doesn't breathe, the ventilation holes on the top of the toe box and around the ankle area seem to be able to keep the foot cool. I wanted this pair because my left ankle often tries to give way on me due to an old injury. I had a tendon tear so badly several years ago that when it tore, it make a loud crack sound that made me believe I'd broken something. It took over 12 weeks just to be able to put weight on that foot again. Tendons never completely heal so when the weather changes or I do too much walking in flip-flops, that tendon starts giving way and is very painful. These shoes that go over the ankle should help keep the tendon from giving way and/or causing me discomfort. Nice pair of shoes that I will get a great deal of use out of!

Reviewer Douaumont

Doesn’t offer enough ankle support but not to bad

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.

Day 1 of a long 9 hour shift. Walking 3-4 miles a day and delivering boxes. Shoes are a bit clunky. My left knee is hurting tonight. I’ve been wearing crap tennis shoes for years, so I’m assuming there will need to be time to adjust. The shoes are also very tall. There’s a decent amount of memory phone, but it’s all just sold rubber and plastic underneath for a good inch. They are noisy and seem a bit slippery.
On the up side, my feet feel pretty good.

Update 2: it’s been two weeks now. Walking 3-4 miles a day. The soles still feel clunky and they are loud. They don’t feel very stable on wet floors. Both my knees are hurting more now. Please don’t ever ever hike in these. I’ve been hunching over more because the heels are so incredibly high, so my shoulders and neck are killing me. The back of the heels hit the back of steps sometimes because they stick out so much. I feel awkward and everyone looks at my shoes when I walk at work because you’d think I was wearing gigantic boots. The soles feel like a hard plastic-like rubber. The memory foam has lost its charm already. The shoe already feels bigger inside, which I wanted at first....but it’s m because the memory foam has lost all its padding depth/comfort. I’d send these back if I didn’t throw the box away. They fool you into thinking they are comfy at first, but then the trouble starts.
I went to a Skechers store and they told me about all the returns they had with this model. At least I only paid $27.
I’m giving them 2 Stars now because I did get such a good deal, but I’d advise you to be weary if your body has a hard time with high soles. If they last a good 6 months, I’ll up the stars.

Update: after a month of wearing them, I’ve started to fit into them nicely. They still squeak and are too loud when walking on concrete floors, but I’m used to it. Aches have gone away.....I’m assuming because my body has adjusted. Back up to 4 stars. Minus one because they are so loud and the soles are too bulky. Also the padding is “meh”. But, I’m glad I got them.

I have ordered several of these over time and really like their quality and fit.

Reviewer Juan Jovan De Puy

The size 13 did not fit my son how usually wears a 13 in most other shoes, but fit my husband well and he wears a size 11....go figure. My husband like them, and says that they are very comfortable to wear.
