Great looking tennis shoes, very light and good support. I had to exchange for a 1/2 size larger, they definitely run small. One thing for sure, this shoe is not for those with wide feet; I have a very thin foot and feel them kind of narrow. Zappos is always awesome!

Great shoes! I ordered these and couldn't be happier! They're so comfortable and lightweight that they'll be so great for running! I will normally wear either a 6 or a 6.5 and wear a 6 for this style.

I agree, the show is at least a 1/2 size too small, I would still like to get these but not sure if I should go a 1/2 size or full size larger. I'm surprised at how small this shoe runs since I exclusively wear Asics for running so I am always used to getting my usual size. Otherwise, seemed like a great light running shoe.

I usually wear Asics or Nike shocks for running. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. They are lightweight, but still provide enough support. I definitely would recommend these!

Very comfortable and stylish. Because they are a sleeker, slimmer shoe, you can get a away with the bright color. I highly recommend!

I love these shoes. I think the fact that they're bright pink really helps the fact that I like the shoes. They're comfortable. My only issue is the width of the shoe. They are a little narrow for me, but I do have wide feet. Overall Asics make the best workout shoe, which is what I use these sneakers for.

I love these shoes. They are very light and comfortable. I do, however, have to say that they feel tight to me. They fit like a glove, in the sense that it really clings to your foot. I tend to like my shoes tied on the tight side so this does not bother me, but my laces are fairly lose considering my preference for a tight shoe, and they still do not feel lose. If you have a wide foot, or just do not like your running shoes tight, you will want to keep this in mind. If you are the type who likes to slip your shoe on while they are still tied, I do not imagine these could ever get to that point. The length is fine, comfort is what I expect from Asics, and I love the bold color. I am glad I got them and love wearing them.

These shoes are light and allow your foot just enough air to breathe without being too thin to protect your foot from tiny stones and other debris. These are definatly a spring/summer/fall running shoe as they are not meant to provide warmth. The sole has enough cushion to keep ankles and knees from fatiguing. The overall shoe is so light you hardly notice you're wearing them!

Awesome shoes! My feet are a litte wide and these fit great! They are so light and I have been able to run faster and longer with them. I would have to say that they are the best sneakers I've ever owned.

I switched from super cushioned running shoes to the Speedstar. I will never go back to the bulky running shoes on the market after purchasing these! The only difference i notice is the flexibility and lightness of this remarkable run shoe. Not to mention I get praise for them every time i hit the streets!

Toe box too tight. Beautiful shoe, but will eventually get me blisters. Ordered a size bigger but it had the same problem.

Super lightweight, snug and comfortable all in the same. It's an even better looking shoe in person...or "in shoe".

I am a personal trainer and fitness instructor so I need comfortable and functional footwear to keep up with my lifestyle. These definitely fit the bill and are probably the most comfortable (not to mention attractive) active shoe I've ever owned. I have high arches and it can be hard to find a shoe that has the support I need without being heavy and blocky-feeling. But these blend decent arch support and still manage to be light. I also get a lot of compliments on the way they look which is always a bonus! I'm an 8.5 and the shoe was true to size. Highly recommended!

These runners are great, and I get compliments every time I wear them. They were a replacement for my pair of Asics Gel Nimbus, and I like these because they are much less bulky.

Really comfortable, attractive shoe. Bought these just to have as a cross trainer. Love Asics! Run in one of their other models, and so I decided on this as a nice addition to my shoe collection. Fits true to size, hugs your feet, feels like you're walking on clouds.
