These shoes are awesome. They are super comfortable. If you've ever had the gel Asics, you won't be disappointed, Asics scores again. They are so cute too. The side pink toward the back has a cool pattern that is not distracting (very subtle) they are a bit grey-er than I was expecting, but I still love them! And Zappos got them here in less than 24 hours! Wow.

I love this shoe! I ordered it to replace my old Asics, which were volleyball shoes and not suited for long distance running. These shoes are extremely comfortable, good to run in, and exactly what I wanted!

These are very supportive and comfortable. They are great shoes for someone who runs around 20 miles a week.

I've worn quite a few different Asics, and definitely need cushioning and support because I'm on my feet all day or daily use at the gym. These are my favorite, and love the gel cushioning. I highly recommend them!

Loved the look of these shoes but they were tight tight and the laces so small you could only make baby bows with them.

I walked in a charity 5K the very first time I put these shoes on and they felt great from the first step to the last. Laces are a bit short, but that's better than having them too long.

These are the only sneakers I found that were not to tight for running. I am a 6.5w so when I buy sneakers I always went a size up but when I ran it would hurt because they were too big. Asics comes in a wide, I did not need to stretch them, they are perfect. I've been using them for a few months now and they are still very comfortable. I absolutely love them.

I love these shoes! I'm currently training for a half-marathon and these shoes are great! They are really comfortable and supportive. They are true to size. I love how much room they have in the toe area, yet how snug they fit on my feet!

Extremely comfortable shoe! More cushion than other Asics styles. Perfect arch support, not too much, not too little. I find they run about a half size smaller than other brands. Width is true to size. Very well made shoe. Pretty colors.

I've worn Gel 1140 for the past two years (bought enough to be able to do that for two years). Of course they are no longer made and so I was looking for something comparable. These compare very nicely with them. Good cushioning, nice support, padded tongue and about the same height arch. Priced very reasonably for the quality of the shoe.

These are super comfortable and fit great from the moment I put them on. I am not a big runner, so I am not sure how they would do in that context, but I worked out in them and was a happy camper. They are also cute for athletic shoes and do not make my feet look huge like many others. I wear a 9½ or 10, and in these, the 10 is perfect. This is a great price for Asics, I would not go with any other brand.
Brands I'd also recommend: Asics all the way

I got these sneakers when my podiatrist told me that I have high arches and was screwing up my feet by not having the proper support. They feel really great on, and the insoles come out, so I can put my special insoles in. I never realized how great your feet can feel with the right kind of sneakers.

I ordered half a size too big as I normally do with running shoes. Though I had never purchased Asics before so this is probably why they were way to big. They are nice shoes and totally comfortable. I noticed the arch support right away, too. I will try half a size smaller.

I received these today. The blue & silver pair were more of a teal color that turquoise like I expected. Fit too tight across my foot, so I am going to send these back.

I normally have a hard time finding shoes to fit so I'm not too surprised that they didn't fit but I had Asics before when I bought them in a store and can try them online. This time I ordered a larger size plus a wide and can't even get them halfway on. I'm so disappointed! Already printed my return label. Thanks Zappos for making returns easy as least. Takes the sting out a little.

I love these shoes! I work in the medical field and am on my feet 12 hours a day. I have flat feet and instantly felt great in these shoes. I wanted to order more but the supply was limited, so I ordered the black.
