Run Star Wave Trainer Fusion

Super bouncy and really comfortable. The heel-to-toe drop propelled me forward with each step, and it honestly felt like walking on little clouds.

These are my favorite trainers and the ones I always reach for now. The outer sole is noticeably thicker than my previous running shoes, with a textured tread that grips the ground incredibly well. There's so much more traction when I'm running, and I wouldn't have thought to seek out a thicker sole, but the functionality is wonderful. I run about three to five times a week on sidewalks, asphalt, and my local park track, so these have seen heavy use over the past few months. They still look amazing and show very little wear, which is surprising because trainers typically get run down pretty quickly. The inner foam is super comfortable, and the fit is great. I went with the gray colorway and I love it. They go with everything and don't show dirt the way white trainers would. If I had any suggestion, it would just be more colorway options, but honestly I have no real improvements to recommend. I definitely plan on buying more trainers from Converse because these have been amazing for me.

These have become one of my favorite tennis shoes to wear, and I reach for them more than 50% of the time when grabbing sneakers for daily life. They're incredibly comfortable for walking and standing, and they pair with just about anything: jeans, joggers, skirts, shorts, and casual dresses. I work in a busy medical practice where I'm on my feet for several hours, walking in and out of patient rooms, and these have held up great. The platform design is a real bonus in bad weather. They keep my feet completely dry in heavy rain, and when we had a couple of snowstorms back in March, the tread prevented me from sliding in slushy, slippery parking lots and kept salt and slush off the tops of my shoes. I get a lot of compliments when I wear them. They're different enough to stand out, especially the metallic detailing. They're easy to put on and easy to wear. I wouldn't run in them given the platform, but that's not really what they're designed for. I've been wearing them for about four months now and they've quickly become a staple.

These shoes are really comfortable for just about anything, but especially great for walking. They have enough cushion and only took about a week to break in. I've had no issues standing, running, or exercising in them. I wear them about three times a week and I really like the suede-look detailing on a couple of areas. A solid, versatile pair overall.

I enjoy these shoes for their style, but they're not comfortable for long wear and definitely not a real trainer. The platform is high and the shoe is so structured that my foot doesn't bend while walking, so it feels like I'm walking on platforms rather than feeling the ground. My toes also feel cramped after wearing them for extended periods, which I notice right away even though my feet eventually adjust somewhat. I'm not sure if that's because my foot is on the wider side. The shoe is durable and I really like how tall it is. I've owned them about six months and wear them every two to three weeks as a street shoe. Compared to other trainers, I wouldn't use these to work out. They look great for normal, casual wear, but keep your expectations there.

This is not a running shoe. The weight and sole structure make it unsuitable for cross-country running, but as a walking shoe, it's great. I've been wearing it daily for approximately 6 months, and the support has been excellent. It helps with my stride and keeps my ankles in a good position, which relieves the back pain I deal with. If you're looking for an everyday walking shoe with solid structure, this delivers.

These are a really great option for casual runners. My feet feel well supported, and I'm noticeably less achy after runs compared to my previous shoes, which used to send me straight to an Epsom salt bath for sore knees and ankles. The built-in insole cushion and the way the shoe holds my foot have made a real difference. I've been wearing them three or four times a week for about six to eight weeks. They're lightweight, have a nice added height, and fit my average-width foot comfortably. The materials, stitching, and overall construction are holding up well with no issues. They're also versatile enough for everyday wear, whether I'm at the grocery store or out with my kids. My one critique is the tongue padding. It's a bit too pillowy for running, though it looks cute and works fine for casual, everyday use. I mostly run on a treadmill or padded track, and for that purpose these shoes deliver. I haven't needed to add any extra insoles or accessories. Really comfortable, well-made shoes overall.

The Run Star Wave Trainer Fusions are still the most comfortable sneakers I've ever owned, and I've had them for a few months now wearing them nearly daily. Both trail running and road running feel supportive, as the shoe is very comfortable to land on. Compared to other trainers I've purchased in the past, these are definitely the standout for comfort. The color does get dirty, but it's been very easy to clean. I was originally skeptical of the fabrics used on the shoes, and I still think they could be improved. The fabric part is a little bit frayed after all this time. Otherwise, there's nothing else I would want to change about them.

Nothing I've tried has felt this good for all-day walking. The cushion is unmatched, and I wear these almost every day, probably five days a week. They're pretty much my go-to shoes for long stretches on my feet. The sole is crazy sturdy, like a hard material, which I thought was a little weird at first. When you touch it with your hand it feels way more solid than a softer sole, so you'd think that would translate to feeling different underfoot. It actually doesn't. Once you're walking on them, they feel the same as any regular sole, just way more durable. They feel like they'll last forever. I also love the neutral color since they go with anything, and the little bit of added height is a nice bonus. Honestly, I think they're perfect. There's nothing I would improve.

Great style with a nice platform and solid cushioning, but this shoe runs about half a size small. I've worn them maybe 10 times over a couple of months, and the tight fit makes them uncomfortable on my toes, so I haven't been able to wear them as much as I'd like. Compared to other trainers, they'd be quite comfortable if they fit true to size. I love the look for both casual and sporty outfits. I'd recommend sizing up.

Super comfortable cushioning and excellent support that stays form-fitted, unlike some of my other sneakers that end up feeling loose over time. I love the look and the way they feel while running. My only concern is they're a little heavy on the feet. I don't notice the weight during my jogs, but I do feel it walking around stores or getting in and out of the car. For that reason I mostly wear them on weekends for runs rather than all day. I'm usually a jogger doing shorter distances while walking my dog, and I've been wearing these at least twice a week for about two to three months now. They've held up great and keep me feeling supported and on track. For a weekend run, they're perfect.

Really comfortable, fashionable, and supportive. I've been wearing these for a few months now for walking on my walk pad and around the neighborhood, and they've held up well. One thing I didn't fully appreciate until I had them on is that they deliver support without sacrificing style.

These shoes are extremely comfortable for all-day wear. My feet and legs don't hurt or ache, which is a huge difference from my other shoes that leave my muscles strained and pained. I wear them every single day, whether I'm taking my kids on walks, running errands at the grocery store, or going to church, and they perform beautifully in every situation. They're also extremely durable and still look brand new despite constant use. The coloring goes with every outfit and they just look stylish. If I could change one thing, I'd bring them a little closer to the ground since they have an almost platform-like height. Totally happy with them overall.
