Everything I expected and more. I\'ve been using the Asics x-trainers and running shoes for the last 3 years and decided to try these walkers. A true fit and great feel give me comfort all the time.

A good shoe for the money... but not a great shoe... for the money. Nice wide width, but was hoping for a little more arch support and cushioning for my flat feet.

Reviewer: Ed S from Arizona
Overall:5 stars   Comfort:5 stars   Look:5 stars

I work 40 hours a week walking on an extremely hard concrete floor. I do about 3 miles per day and these walkers are great. I thought the running shoes were the answer, but the walkers are even better. This is my second pair of Asics and certainly not my last. They are the best shoe I have found for my 12 4E shoe size and job.

Just bought the shoes July 7th and Zappos delivered to my door in 18 hours: the usual time. The shoes fit great. I have many physical problems including bunions, scoliosis and over pronation. These shoes, out of the box, gave ample room for my orthotics. I took my usual walk (2 miles) and had no problems. I added exercise weights the second day and still no problem. I highly recommend these. I am 61 years old and these are wonderful on my aching joints. Get em, use em; they\'re just what I needed.

The ASICS Gel-Foundation Walker is a very comfortable walking shoe with good looks. The combination leather & mesh upper makes this a very durable shoe. The excellent cushioning and good arch support provides all day comfort. This is one versatile shoe that I would highly recommend.

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support

Walking or running shoes? I am disappointed these shoes did not feel more comfortable for me. I wear a 4E and it is often hard to find comfortable shoes anyhow. I heard that running shoes are a better option for walking but never tried them. I wish someone can confirm. One thing is definite however my tennis shoes are by far a better option. Too bad they only come in white.

Shoe Arch: No arch support

I had to buy larger shoes to accommodate my foot following recent surgery. The shoe provides a lot of room and has a comfortable shoe bed. The only reason I don't rate it as high is there is no arch support, so suppose following a hard day at work, I develop foot pain because lack of that particular support. Other than that, the shoe is extremely comfortable.

Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked

OUCH! Normal shoe size is 114E. Since I use orthotics, I go up, in size, to a 12. Room to accommodate the insert. As reviews said a percentage felt it was NOT true to size, went UP to a 12.5. Looking at the shoe, straight out of the box, I could tell, by the sole, this was NOT a 4E wide. VERY NARROW, in the middle. Toes hit the end. They must be using the same 'measurements' New Balance uses, nowadays.

Very pleased with this pair of walkers. I've had plantar fasciitis for years and take great care in selecting a shoe for daily wear. These are very comfortable and I especially appreciate the arch support. I found these shoes true to width and size. I would buy again and recommend them too!

Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked
Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support

A Great Walking Shoe - I am an old (77yrs) fitness walker who walks about 10-15 miles per week. When I was younger I ran in numerous half-marathons but as I, and my joints aged I had to switch to walking. For years I walked in Asics running shoes. They did fine until recently when I started needing more cushioning and support. The lighter weight of running shoes is not important to me anymore. A friend of mine recommended a high price New Balance walking shoe (926) so I tried them. While thses shoes gave me the cushioning that I wanted they were extremely heavy. I then learned that Asics has a walking shoe, the Gel Foundation Walker, so I bought a pair. These are wonderful shoes and provide great support and cushioning and are not heavy. I would recommend these shoes to any recreational or serious walker. Like all Asics shoes you should buy one-half size larger than your normal size. I was so impressed with the comfort of these shoes I just bought another pair (in black) for everyday use. These shoes use spEVA for cushioning just like Asics used to use in their running shoes. Asics has switched to using SoLyte in their running shoes as it is lighter than spEVA but it does not provide the same level of cushioning in my opinion. I hope Asics does not switch to SoLyte in their walking shoe. If they do I would have to reevaluate my position on this recommendation. I hope Asics reads this review.

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support

ASICS Gel-Foundation® Walker - Had to get 1/2 size larger than normal but when the right fit was made these shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn bar none! These shoes would go far if offered in a variety of colors and not just black & white. That is the only reason for the 4 stars in look. Otherwise they would be a perfect 5 to me.

Perfect All Around Walker - First of all praises to Zappos.com I ordered these shoes at 1:30am today and received them this morning at 10:30am. Incredible! I wore them to work and they immediately fit like a glove. No break in needed. They are true to size and width. They are breathable and sturdy and for the first time in a long time my spine felt totally aligned and I did not fatigue and my feet don't hurt. They are cushioned very well. I will search out this shoe again. I do hope it lasts a good while though. I have normal to high arches and felt this shoe has good motion control and arch support.

I have been shopping for YEARS.

I’m going to Facebook right this minute and will SCREAM your praises. Zappos, I love you! XO
