Disappointed.
Definitely a downgrade from the original Motiva walking shoe. These are more comparable to the Nike promina shoe which is a much stiffer shoe and a lot cheaper. My feet are sore after a two mile walk, which never happen with the earlier generation motiva. shoe.

Motiva 2
I am a longtime wearer of the original Motiva and sadly these do not compare. They have a cheaper plastic feel and the stiff upper hurts my ankle. Please return the old motivas!

Happy Feet don’t Cheat
These are the best sneakers I’ve purchased in a long time! They give great support and stability if you suffer from plantar fasciitis! 10/10!

Great shoes for the healthcare worker!
These shoes saved my feet! I work in healthcare and am on my feet all day. I needed a shoe and I’m a through and through Nike fan and didn’t want to have the same basic shoes as everyone else so I did my research and chose these and I do not regret it! I haven’t had any foot pain since I put these on for their first shift. I cannot recommend these enough! I will be purchasing these from now on.

Big Downgrade from Motiva 1
I own the Motiva 1, and they’re some of the most comfortable sneakers I’ve had. I was excited to try the Motiva 2, but unfortunately, they don’t compare.
The tongue is much longer and hits above my ankle, which I found uncomfortable even though it’s flexible. The overall style and colorway also look much worse in person. Inside the shoe, especially around the back of the ankle, the material feels rough, like it could cause blisters. The insoles are also noticeably rougher than the Motiva 1 and just don’t feel good on my feet.
I gave them two stars because they are true to size (unlike the Motiva 1, where I had to size up half a size), and the mesh front makes them more breathable.
Other than that, I ended up returning them and will be sticking with the Motiva 1.
