This is my second pair ordered from Zappos, they are true to size, I ordered them because I workout with P90X and I walk on a daily basis. They are so comfortable, light, and I do not tire out easy. I will order this brand again. Thank you Zappos. I like your free shipping and handling both ways. I will continue to order from you all again.

Narrow. Apparently I am somewhere between a medium and narrow width. I also purchased the Gel-Kayano and went with 2A-narrow. They are perfect. Since the Kanbarra's run narrow they are perfect, too! With the luxury of Zappos easy returns I was not worried in the least. Thanks Zappos!

I read the other reviews online before purchasing this pair of shoes. Even though several of the reviews said that these shoes were narrower than normal, I thought I'd try them out anyway. I own a pair of "normal" width Gel Kahanas size 6.5 and these Gel Kanbarras wide width size 6.5 are definitely narrower than my Kahanas, not comfortable for me at all after just trying them on! Unfortunately, I will be returning them. If they were made in a 2E perhaps they would work out for me because I do like Asics brand shoes!

LOVE THESE!
I got these in the white and turquoise. I LOVE THEM! I buy asics onitsukas for my everyday walking around shoes as well, which I highly recommend as they are super comfy and come in really cute styles. I have not just small, but also narrow feet. I'm usually a size 6-7 in tennis shoes, and I go the 6 1/2 and they fit perfectly! I probably wouldn't recommend this shoe to people with wider feet. They fit me perfectly because mine are narrow, but my friend with wide feet tried these on and found them uncomfortable.

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked
Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support
Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Not a fan of its looks, but it's a great running shoe - This shoe runs about 1/4 size small and a full size narrow. If you have average width feet, get the wide. I normally wear a nine and I bought the nine and a half. It's perfect. And the "wide" width felt perfectly average. The shoe itself is a great running shoe. I'm not a huge fan of how it looks, but it performs amazingly well for a shoe at this price. I've tried on sneakers for double the price that were not as comfortable. There was no "breaking in" period. These felt great right away.

My First-Ever Asics Blister -
I've been wearing Asics for at least ten years, and always believed the accuracy of their old slogan, "no break-in period, period." This morning I took my Kanbarras out for a short 4-mile loop, and I now have a dime-sized blister on each heel. In general, they feel a LOT stiffer on first wearing than any previous pair. They also seem to have a lower arch than previous Asics I've worn, but having never tried this line before, that may be normal for these.

Bought these because Consumer Reports magazine recommended Asics Gels for comfort and price. I fell in love with them at first sight, and they\'re comfy to boot! I\'m really impressed with Zappo\'s shipping--free and fast!

Really comfortable shoe...ran a little small though.
I bought these shoes and love them, but I had to buy a half size larger than I normally wear...the toe of the shoe is just a tad narrow and my toes felt crunched...other than that, great shoe!

These shoes are fantastic! They are my first pair of black athletic shoes and of ASICS, and I don’t think I could have found a cooler pair. I ran about 3 miles the day after I received them and knew right then that I would never own athletic shoes that weren’t ASICS again. Definitely worth the money. They also fit true to size and my foot felt really secure in the shoe.

The new shoes I brought from Zappos -
I love the style and the shoes are very supportive and they have a great arch support in them. People at work are commenting about them. They give me excellent arch support. My podiatrist told me to go on your website instead of going to a shoe store. I love my Asics very much!

The look of the shoe is great. It goes great with jeans as well as work out clothes. Although light in weight, it is a hard stable kind of training shoe not cushy like most current running shoes.The width in the toe-box is a little less wide than most Asics shoes. It reminds me of the training shoes from the 80's which is fine by me.

They came about a day after I ordered them (standard free shipping!) and I wore them right away! They are SO comfortable you will have trouble getting out of them! I like the colors, and they fit true to size! I highly recommend these to any runner or just anyone who wants a comfy pair of shoes.

Just not for me -
I was so excited about these gorgeous shoes! What a great price too. When I put them on, they fit great. Then I started to walk and felt the pain after 10 minutes. Because of my foot surgery two years ago, I have to really watch me shoes and these just did not have the arch support I needed, so I can't give them a high rating for comfort. That's just my left foot. Right foot was fine! I gave them to my niece.

Lovely shoe made narrow -
I was so disappointed when I tried on these shoes. I ordered a wide width, which is what I wear in athletic shoes and these shoes were so narrow I could barely get my foot in. My feet were squished into these. I certainly hope my feet haven't gotten wider. It'll be impossible for me to find shoes it they have.
