These sneakers fit very well. There is plenty of cushion all around. I wear them everywhere I go except for work. :) They are made for wide/flat/low arch feet. This is a quality shoe.

I have very flat feet and was fitted for these at an athletic running shop. These sneakers are very good at keeping me injury free! I ordered my 2nd pair through Zappos.com and it was a piece of cake.

I have worn Asics sneakers for over 4 years. I love them and the anti-pronation styles really help relieve the pain I felt due to fallen arches. I have tried only one other brand during the 4 year period and I found them to be inferior in support of my arches. I would, and have, recommend the Asics brand to many of my friends. I will continue to be a faithful buyer for the remainder of my life here on earth. Keep up the good work!

I purchased these running shoes based on reviews I had read about motion control shoes. I had gained some weight over the fall and early winter months, and my normal running shoes were not as stable as they once were, so I had to find something new. I have been running with these for over a month and they have been great. I had run with Asics in the past and loved them. These are good as well, and the price was right.

I have bad knee problems. The support and cushion is a help. Also the 4E is perfect fit. Have had several Asics but these are the best so far. Not much to look at but at 65 I really don't care.

The most comfortable running shoe I have ever owned! There is more lateral toe room than other shoes I have owned in the past, which is one of the reasons it feels more comfortable. I can wear these all day and never have sore or tired feet; I never had a shoe that did that! Highly recommended! And, as always, the best service from Zappos!

Nice fit and very stable in the heel. True to size. I have pronation and plantar problems and this shoe seems to fit the bill as a supportive shoe for big dudes who have foot pain.

Got these for the gym and work out, have the Duomax and support the other Gel models have and orthotics fit well, perhaps not as snug in the heel area as the others but has lots of support for flat pronation, also tried it on the treadmill and walking and great support, don't take it in the snow or rain though is just mesh and no protection from the elements or cold! Asics needs to offer this style in a Non Mesh or fully enclosed version, know lots of runners at my fitness center would want something like that especially with foot issues and orthotics, get the word out!
Brands I'd also recommend: New Balance select models

These shoes are for serious overpronators. Comfort, fit, and quality are as high as we have come to expect from Asics. 400 miles from now, I expect to be buying another pair of these.

I have severely flat feet, and this is one of the few shoes that gives me the stability I need while also supporting my custom orthotic.

I love these shoes! I have worn them for the last 4 years changing them every 3 months. Because I teach pilates I am standing all the time and it gives me the support and comfort I need. Highly reccommended.

I bought these for my boyfriend for Christmas. He is 6'7" and 260 lbs. These shoes are great for a bigger guy. Good support for mild overpronation. He runs in these with insoles and is running about 25 miles a week with no leg pain. Highly recommended!

Perfect shoe. I have dealt with plantar fascia for the past year and tried everything from doctor schools to several trips to the podiatrist. These have almost entirely alleviated the problem. Great fit from the moment they came out of the box.

Great value! My 6th or 7th pair. Do 12 miles a week on wooden track 31 min. Shoes need no break in. Since adding a 1/2 size, wear in top of toe piece is much less (cutting toe nails more often helped, too).
Brands I'd also recommend: New Balance, only other I can find in 4EEEE

I bought these shoes for my husband who has wide feet, is extremely flat-footed, and severely over-pronates. He normally does not comment about the shoes he wears unless it is to complain. These Asics, however, got an immediate positive response. After the first wear he praised the stability of these shoes are, how they kept him from over-pronating, and how his feet don't hurt after wearing them. I think he was amazed that a shoe could feel so comfortable right out of the box! It took a couple tries to find his right size, but he is extremely satisfied with this purchase.
