APL

Luxury meets performance in athletic shoes from APL. The brand's original Concept 1 basketball shoe featured groundbreaking Load 'N Launch technology that instantly increased vertical leap—so much so that it was banned by the NBA for providing undue competitive advantage. Today, APL running shoes feature their Propelium tech, which offers incredible cushioning and maximizes energy generation, no matter how far you're going. Plus, their innovative designs and color palettes are a slam dunk.

best tennis shoe

I admit I own 4 different pairs of the tech loom bliss. This is probably the best tennis shoe I’ve ever owned. I’ve had them for two almost two years now and they’ve held up well. Of course, they get rotated cuz I like to mix up my shoes, so I can’t say how long just one pair would last wearing it consistently. I don’t wear them for exercise tho, I only wear them at work. I work long 12 hour shifts on my feet. My feet, back or body never hurt when I wear these. The fabric upper has held up well and still looks like new. The insole has worn down, but the tread has worn evenly. I would like to buy new insoles, but that doesn’t seem to be an option. I wear and 8/8.5 and have these in both sizes, but the 8 fits the best. I have a narrowish foot and the strap is perfect. My foot does slide forward a bit when walking, but it’s not enough to be bothersome. For this reason tho, the tech loom bliss may not be the best for running. I’ll keep getting these for work. They’re comfy, super stylish and supportive for being more of a minimalist shoe.

So disappointing!

I really wanted these shoes and was so excited to get the gold & silver Metallic ones! They looked great on and we’re comfortable but I only wore them three times and they started to peel. Who knows what they would look like in two weeks! So disappointing! Higher end shoe, low end quality. I will have to return them.

Cute and comfortable but I’m shopping purposefully to buy American made products to support our economy.

Great look, sizing is off

The shoes look great but the fit was really off. My usual size, 8.5M, was too big, and an 8M was too small. The fabric is comfortable but I wonder how it holds up over time. The soles are very similar to my Hoka One One Hupana Ems, which are very comfortable and my favorite gym shoe. I wanted these to work but there's something very off about the sizing. At $200, they have to be perfect.

Worth the Money!

I absolutely love my APL’s. I received a black pair a few months ago as a gift and immediately needed something fun for summer. The orange is IT. These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. These are worth the money and fit true to size.

easy wearing but not athletic.

I purchased the earlier version of this shoe 2-3 years ago. The latest model has way less cushioning and support. It’s still a cute athleisure shoe, but the support and cushioning are all wrong for any athletics where you are on your feet for long. The mesh fabric is good for my bunions and wide footbed. The sole is still on the narrow side and hits the underside of my big toe. Pull on style is great.

not worth the price tag

I bought these in two sizes 7 & 7.5. I love the slip on style. The 7 was a bit short as my toe almost touched the end. The 7.5 fit however felt tight around the middle. I have a narrow medium width foot. Returned both.

Stylish walker

I returned my first pair because my toes went numb on a 2 mile walk, sized up by 1/2 and couldn't be happier!

Too squeaky to wear.

I love these shoes in terms of style, fit, and comfort for everyday wear. I purchased these for daily wear and travel, not for running or other exercise. They are true to size with a thin sock to my normal dress shoe size. (I usually wear 7.5 in dress shoes and always 8 with athletic socks for running shoes). The major problem is that when I purchased these from Nordstrom, they were VERY SQUEAKY. I have other pairs which I purchased from another store and I do not have that problem with them, so I'm not sure if these are an older version and the company has made a slight change in the design or material of the sole, but beware the squeak!

Super comfortable APL shoes

Now that I’ve tried these on, I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to wear Nikes again. The inside of the shoe is very comfortable, the soles provide great cushion, love being able to slip them on and off, and they’re stylish. There’s something about the cut of the shoe around the ankle that makes the legs look longer/slimmer. Five stars for APL!

disappointed

This is my second APL pair. I wear size 6.5 and the first pair was a little big but I couldn’t downsize to 6 as it was really tight. So when I was ordering my second pair, I assumed the same size would fit the same (same collection) but it turned out to be super tight more like a 5.5 Sizes are so inconsistent and it’s disappointing for the price of the shoes
