Love these Asics! I can't say enough good about them. I am a walk/runner and these are so very comfortable. Love the personal heel fit, I believe that makes the shoe mold to your feet. Love the color and everything about this shoe. Once again Zappos delivers in 24 hours. Thanks, you're the best!

Comfort and support for large-frame runners, those prone to injury, or those needing a stable, durable shoe. Great for every day training and longer runs. Recommend for those who think running may be too much for their feet - try these shoes! Love Zappos super fast shipping and great return policy!

This is a great running shoe. Very comfortable and supportive. Seems to be a little smaller than my Nikes in the same size, but it still fits.

Sorry, but I cannot agree with all the rave reviews. I found these to be big, heavy and clunky, and the platform (base) sticks out on the sides and makes my feet look huge. I can see that they might be good for stability, if that is important to you. However for gym shoes I switched to lightweight New Balance. There is less room and weight in the bag, and I look a bit less like Bigfoot on a recumbent bike. They also rubbed the tops of my toes, and made my feet sweaty. Overall these are not something that I would recommend, unless you run on a lot of uneven pavement and wear thick socks.

This is the first pair of ASICS I haven't liked. They are too heavy and make my feet tired by the end of the day. The heel comes up a little too high. I'm a walker, not a runner, and I wish I hadn't bought these shoes.
