The shoes were a little bit constricting at first, but I do have wide feet, but as I continued to wear them they were quite comfortable. I like the pattern with the striking lime green and the white. So far they are great and I would recommend them to friends. The shipping was not fast, but not slow arriving within the time frame which they specified. Overall, great product.

I always buy Asics for running. It's the only brand of shoe that keeps my heel spurs away. I always wear size 14, but the Asics Gel Equation 5 was a bit too small at 14. My toes rubbed and they were too narrow as well.

I bought these as a gift for my boyfriend. He never had Asics before but he loves them! I told him how important it is to work out with a good shoe and now he finally believes me! He is usually a 9-9.5, I went with the 9.5 and they were perfect! As far as Zappos goes, best place to get shoes! I love this company!

My son loves them and says they are very comfortable. He needs a toe box that is on the wider side and these work out for him. I was worried that the white sole would be too clunky and goofy looking but they aren't, they look very good. As usual with Asics, they are made well. Asics is all we buy as far as athletic shoes go.

These shoes are the best! Light, supportive, comfortable, good looking, very durable. Stop your distance running shoe search here and buy a couple a pairs of these babies! They fit like a glove the first time you run in them. I promise your feet with thank you.

Easily my most favorite shoe ever. I have had my years of being a Nike, New Balance, Reebok, and Skechers guy...but no more. Asics all the way! Such a good shoe, I purchased 3 pairs and I keep this in my favorites for more!

For me these were a big mistake. I didn't read carefully so this post is really to make sure the reader things carefully before buying. I slightly over pronate but stick to neutral shoes. I didn't pay much attention to "under-pronator who requires enhanced cushioning." Enhanced cushioning, you can say that again. I am new to running and didn't connect the dots to my IT band knee problems after running in these shoes. There were many other factors that made me believe otherwise. After an MRI, PT, cross fit classes I decided to shelf these. Much better. These are now my everyday shoes. I won't knock the ratings since this was my failure to read correctly. Still a great shoe but for the right runner. They fit amazing, looked great, breathed very well. Did also have a nice floating on air feeling due to the cushion and were very responsive in my cross fit classes and road races.

I'm very unhappy with these shoes. The problem is that as I walk the removable cushion in the bottom slowly works it's way backwards so that after about an hour my toes are hanging off the end and the back end curls up behind my heel. They are very comfortable until that starts o happen. I don't understand the appeal of the removable footbed if it won't stay in place.
