The Avia A9616W shoes feature a rounded sole for a "rocker" effect, but you'll want to be sure to stick to firm, flat surfaces on your walks, warned Paul Langer, D.P.M., of Twin Cities Orthopedics, who evaluated all of the shoes in our test. "Any uneven surface can increase the risk of falls" in this pair, he said. Testers also complained of feeling "off-balance" and "unstable" and wished the shoes offered more support for lengthy walks. These shoes were among the heaviest in our test, and our volunteers didn't love the look, but several consumer testers appreciated the breathable mesh upper and several commented on the shoe's comfortable feel.Colors: Chrome Silver/Zuma Pink/White, While/Bouganvilla/Chrome Silver, Black/Detox Blue/WhiteSizes: 5.5-11Weight: 9.0 ounces Consumer testers found this sneaker fairly comfortable and supportive Consumer testers thought this sneaker cushioned their foot fairly well On the heavier side for a lightweight walking sneaker Lands' End Women's Squall Parka Review

Reebok's price for its archrival represents about $16.35 a share, according to a joint statement.
Reebok was the sixth-most active issue Tuesday in composite trading on the New York Stock Exchange, closing at $41.75, up $4.25.Barely breaking stride since its recent acquisition of Rockport Co., a Massachusetts maker of walking and casual shoes, Reebok said the Avia purchase would position the company for further growth in the expanding athletic and casual shoe market, a $2.7-billion segment last year."We think they have done an outstanding job of growing their brand and developing product lines," Paul Fireman, chairman and chief executive of Reebok, said in the statement.In 1986, when Reebok bolted past Nike to become the U.S. leader in athletic footwear, the company had net income of $132 million on sales of $919.4 million, compared to profits of nearly $39 million on sales of $307 million the previous year.Avia's sales soared last year to $70.3 million from $21 million in 1985, and net income rose to $4.3 million from $674,000.Some industry observers noted that Reebok, based in Canton, Mass., had recently lost sales to the more technically oriented Avia products, particularly in the aerobics category, and that Fireman, 43, might have been motivated by a desire to remove a competitor.
Company representatives said Fireman approached Avia about four weeks ago through one of its underwriters, Merrill Lynch Capital Markets."It's basically a good, defensive acquisition," said John Horan, publisher of the Sports Ink newsletter in Yardley, Pa. "Rather than buy something outside of the athletic distribution channel, where Reebok has obviously been successful but has a lot of exposure, they bought something inside. Granted, it was the only legitimate thorn in their side."Horan added that Avia is controlled by half a dozen venture capitalist firms. "It was clearly attractive to those people to get taken out clean all cash up front," he said.At about 19 times Avia's projected 1987 earnings of 85 cents a share, the purchase price "seems like a whole lot of money to pay for $70 million worth of sales," said Jack A. Sullivan, senior vice president at the Van Kasper & Co. investment firm in San Francisco."My initial instinct is that it was a great sale for Avia," Sullivan said. "They can turn right around and start worrying about design and marketing and penetration and all of the other things that it would be nice to concentrate on without having the hassle of running a public company."
