Reviews
QUALITY: Has changed and is
"QUALITY: Has changed and is not as good as it always was. The first shoe i received was sent back because liner wasn’t secured down and has glue all over the top that your sock sits on. The second pair is not much different. But I think I just have to deal with it. Makes me sad, my entire shoe closet is APL but sadly that is changing."

Run big, semi comfortable
"I have the same model shoe in a metallic silver color and purchased the same size, 7. This one runs a little big. I work in healthcare and am on my feet all day. They are comfortable but not a lot of arch support. Wouldn’t purchase them again for daily wear at work."

Hard to get on
"I ordered a half size up and still couldn't wrangle my feet into these. . . . I don't need to work up a sweat to put my shoes on. They opening doesn't stretch. . . . ."

This is my second pair
"This is my second pair of APL's Phantom footwear. They are the only athletic shoe I have ever purchased that is truly comfortable. I love the wider toe box -- they fit beautifully and are very, very comfortable. I'll be back for a third pair if you ever get them back in stock in my size. I've been trying for over a year to catch them when they are back in my stock in my size."

Techloom phantom
"It is comfortable. The soles are not good enough to walk whole day. End of the day it hurts like plantar fasciitis."

I like this older style
"I like this older style with different fabric. Lacing technique is better for me."

A dream
"These are for sure the most comfortable pair of sneakers I have ever worn. They feel perfect. I am wearing an 8 and 1/2. My toes have space and my feet do not slide around. I do have a wider than average foot, but only slightly. I love everything about them. Incredible support. I only have had them for a few weeks but I feel very good about this shoe choice. The value matches the cost. I found it so interesting that they are slip ons with ties."

Like no other
"I was a marathon trainer for over 20 years so I’ve put a lot of miles on my feet. I switched around from all the popular brands seeking a more comfortable shoe that would relieve me from foot pain (plantar, blisters, black toe bruising) from all the running. I never did find a pair until I tried these TechLoom shoes. My sister in law was wearing a pair and I was attracted to how unique they looked so I ordered them and I cannot believe how they have held up. I have not had one stitch of pain. No knee pain, no foot discomfort. And finally my toes don’t rip though the top fabric and expose my sock!! Amazing material. Thank you so much! I AM MORE THAN HAPPY with this product."
