This is my third pair of Asics walking shoes. The first two pair (of earlier generations) felt extremely comfortable the first time they were put on. These Neo 2's took a bit of getting used to. They feel like they are putting more pressure on the outside edges of my feet - this may be caused by the asymmetric lacing arrangement. My older Asics walkers each lasted about two years when walking 1 to 5 miles per day. Both the heels and the inside liners wore out at the same time. In the Neo 2, it looks like both of these areas have been strengthened, so I expect my new shoes to last a bit longer. Conclusion: I love the Neo 2, but I found the earlier generations of Asics Walkers slightly more comfortable.

Good walking shoe. I saw this in Consumer Reports where it was rated #1. I'm never sure of the size buying online but the fit is good. Now my wife wants a pair.

The Gel-Tech Walker Neo was first brought to my attention by Consumer Reports when it was cited as its number one pick as a walking sneaker. The style, fit and comfort were absolutely true to form. I've worn it daily to the gym for the past month and have absolutely no regrets about my purchase. Note, however, that although I usually wear a size 8 shoe I needed 8.5 in this product. However, I've found this discrepancy to be the case in virtually all walking sneakers that I've owned.

Since my first pair of Asics, I've been a convert. Their last fits my foot like no other. Occasionally, I've drifted to other brands, but never for more than one pair, and I seldom even wore them out. Recently I was given a pair of Air Jordans...cool looking, but not comfortable. I realize this is due to the peculiarities of my foot, but that's what I'm writing about. Stick with the best...Asics.

Great shoe, but for the price I wish they'd last longer. I walk 4 times a week and after 6 months, there's no support left in the shoe. I've had many Asics GEL shoes and they're my shoe of choice for comfort but it's a strain on my wallet.

Read about thiws shoe in Consumer Reports last fall. Had trouble finding it. Couldn't even order it from Asics. Called Zappos and had it a week later. It's comfortable and great for walking.

This is a very good shoe, maybe not as supportive as I expected but very good anyway. It's basic style is ok, I wish it was a little more creative, retro perhaps. Zappos service was spectacular, always a pleasure doing business with you!

Very nice shoes, light and cool. Based on other reviewers, I nervously ordered a half size larger than all other shoes I own. I was relieved when they fit perfectly. I highly recommend these shoes.

I waited a long time for these shoes. They are well worth it. Very comfortable, sizing is accurate, the Consumer Reports ratings are on-point. Can't forget to mention the superior Customer Service from Zappos. I'm a happy guy! My son tried them on and ordered his own pair. He is a nurse and is on his feet all day. He is very happy with his.

Best walker ever! This shoe is made right for walking. It is very supportive, well ventilated, light weight, comfortable, and attractively designed! Lacing is along an imaginary vertical line representing the horizontal center of gravity for the shoe. In other words, lacing is offset to the left for the right shoe and to the right for the left shoe and this makes a whole lot of sense and is likely a factor in shoe comfort. Also, the walk in these shoes is like walking on gel-cushions; indeed the soles have gel-fill or at least feel as if they do. After a week of walking in these shoes (and keeping them on after the walks because they are so comfortable), I am confident they are worth the extra investment I made upgrading from a Nike+ walker to the ASICS Gel-Tech Walker Neo 2.

These were for my husband. He has a job where he is on his feet 7 - 8 hours a day, as well as coming home and doing lawn care, etc. He has a lot of trouble with his feet being sore and tired at the end of the day. These Asics were recommended by consumer's Report and we tried them. He is still tired at the end of the day, but his feet feel much better. This is the second pair we have orderd for him, and I am sure not the last.

Zappos is great! Ordered one day - got the merchandise the next day. I had to reorder (my fault) and got the Asics gel shoes the next day. I won't hesitate to use Zappos again!

The shoe is very light and comfortable at least initially. After walking 3 to 4 miles you'll begin to understand that the reason the shoes are light is due to the lack of support (padding) below the metatarsus. At extended distances I begin to feel pain at the bottom of the metatarsus area.

This was a gift for my husband. He was wearing New Balance for around 5 years. He loves the Asics and feels they are a better made shoe and fit like a glove. No breaking in required. Zappos was great and very easy to order from on line. I also started wearing Asics and am a happy walker of 5 miles a day.
