ANTA Men’s Running Shoes, Lightweight Cushioned Breathable Sneakers, Comfortable Trainers with Slip Resistant Outsole for Jogging, Walking and Daily Workout

Comfortable
They look and feel good. Did my first run with them. They are comfortable.

Springy heel, but not too comfortable
I purchased these because of all the hype about extra thickness sole material making the shoes more comfortable and transferring less shock when running or walking. When I first received them and put them on the extra height in the heel area was immediately apparent and felt “springy”. Unfortunately the rest of the sole from the arch area down to the ball of the foot was hard and not flexible. The insole in the shoe was a flat piece of foam less than 1/4″ thick that had no “cushy” spring to it and added little to make the shoe more comfortable. Also the tongue of the shoe was also very thin which makes it a bit uncomfortable if you need to lace the shoes up snugly. At the end of the first day the top of my feet were a bit sore from the laces. The shoes are extremely light weight though, but that may be the reason for some lack cushy insole.I considered sending them back because of the issues, but I thought I would try one fix to see if they could be saved. I inserted a low cost set of Dr Scholl’s Air Pillo cushion insoles under the shoe insoles. I had to unlace the shoe laces a bit to be able to slide my foot in easily with the extra insole. The difference in the comfort of the shoe was day and night. I could now feel the cushy sole front to back, and it made a scant difference in the shoe overall height.As a disclaimer, I am flat footed and have always had to search for a comfortable shoe that I could wear on a run, or just lounge all day long. My usual shoe is a Saucony Men’s Cohesion 13 Running Shoe, which is very comfortable, but does wear out in about 6-8 months.I will keep the Anta’s for now and wear them on a few regular runs and see how they do.Review update, 11/15/25I have worn these on about a dozen runs now of 3-4 miles each. I have bumped the rating by 1 star as they have been fairly comfortable and seem to be maintaining the cushion in the sole. The insoles I added definitely made a positive difference in the overall comfort. The added height of the sole did take a bit to get used to, but didn’t interfere with the runs at all. That being said, they didn’t improve my times or distances, but the comfort has provided less stress on my foot by the end of the run. They are worth a try to see if you like the added height sole, and they won’t break the bank if they don’t work out for you.

PuuuuuLUSHHHHHH!
Just got these and tried them on. Doing a quick initial impression rating since I won’t have time to rate wear for at least 3-4 weeks.PLUSH!!! Haven’t felt anything this plush since my Hoka Bondi 6’s in early 2021.Kind of scary really since they weren’t that expensive and so I worry it may not be long before they become too soft.Exactly what I was looking for, except that I only bought these, my 3rd choice, because my 1st and 2nd choices couldn’t get here before 30 Oct.I wear 11.5 to 12. These were 12’s and fit perfect.

Highly Cushioned and Comfy
The highlight for me is they are super-cushioned at the bottom and feel very comfortable to walk or run in. They are very bouncey when I run which is great. I got the all black colorway and they are simple and sleek. I am also pleased that they are extremely light.As far as fit, I was a bit worried when trying them on that they seemed a bit narrow and pinched my little toe. However, after running with them for the first time they stretched and loosened and now fit very well. Since the top is mesh, it does seem to stretch and mold to your foot as you break them in. I think though if you have a wide foot, they may not be the best choice for you. Besides the width, the size seems true to size and I got the same size I normally get in other shoes.Overall, I think they are a great pair of running shoes, especially at this price point.
