Asics Stormer - These shoes look awesome and feel good. They're really light. I got mud on these shoes and cleaned it and it came off so it looked like it was never there in the first place.

Like walking on clouds - They are so comfortable. I have wide feet and I was worried that these would be too tight but as soon as I slipped into them... I knew I had nothing to worry about. The material it’s made out of makes it very comfortable even for wide feet, its stretchy. Very simple look and very comfortable.

Better than Tigers - If you're wary of Asics lifestyle shoes because of their flimsy Tiger line, fear not! The Stormer is sturdy and well cushioned. The toe box is at least a half inch longer than most shoes, but it's not narrow, which makes it odd to walk in, but great for biking.

I got the white and black ones with the pink and yellow Velcro straps. This shoe is too fly. They feel so good, the fit is true to size and the design is so unique; I can't wait to wear them out because I know everyone will be asking where I got em from. Thanks to Zappos for getting them to me so fast; ordered them on Friday and got them Tuesday! Standard shipping!

Asics forever!! I choose Asics for anything... running, walking, hiking, fashion... the brand makes shoes that are just right for me and I’m glad I found them... As for the stormer, the shoes are comfy but it feels a little unsupported on the balls of my feet. Otherwise, they're good for fashion, but I wouldn't wear them for running or long walks.

Good shoes, little cushioning - These shoes look good and are comfortable - they are a good casual sneaker to replace wearing an old pair of running or gym shoes around but still have an athletic look.

Nice and sleek - I'd call these 'casual athletic' shoes. They give the appearance of an old school running sneaker with some modern updates, but are built more for casual wear. Relatively thin padding and a sleek design give the shoes a low profile. These are nice, cool, casual sneakers.

Great Shoe! I love these shoes. The designing is fantastic and they are actually very comfortable. The reason why the 4 stars was given is because they were initially uncomfortable on my right foot which actually has a slight bump on top. Of course, these were broken in quickly and now fit fine. The coolest part of the shoe has to be that the back edge of the shoe has a plastic piece that protects the shoe. This might be standard in some newer shoes but I have never seen it before. It helps because I usually take off shoes using toe to heel, but the plastic prevents any wear. Great shoe! Highly recommended!

Mephisto's Rush - The Most Comfortable Shoe I've owned these shoes for one and a half years and they saved my life. I have very bad knees and stand on my feet at my job. A friend recommended them. If I could wear them every day for all occasions I would. These shoes are the best investment I've ever made

SHOES STRETCHED. I purchased the Rush shoe as well as the Helen sandal recently and while the sandal fees fine, the Rush shoe feels loose at present. My normal shoe size is 9.5 and on wearing the shoe for a while, it feels quite loose at present. Maybe I should have gone to the size 9.

Best Ever! I bought this shoe and took it on a trip to Greece. I have a hard to fit foot with normal width but a very narrow heel so most shoes ride up and down. I broke these in on the tour and never had a bad moment. No blisters, just comfort. Most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I highly recommend!

The most comfortable shoes I've worn, better than Dansko or Berkies, which is also recommended for us nurses who are on our feet the whole day. Definitely worth the money.

Not a walking shoe - The most I've ever spent on a shoe, in the hopes it would be what I was looking for in a walking shoe, width in the toe box (no); softness to the foot (no); soft and flexible (no). They are stiff and often hurt the back of my heel and pinch my toes. However, they look very nice and I can tolerate to wear for dress with slacks, but NOT for long walks.

Mephisto is the best! I bought this shoe for my niece, who is expecting her first child. She thinks they are great! They support her foot very well and she is very happy with their comfort. She owns her own shop and can run around in these shoes all day. I also own the Mephisto Rush in a couple colors. Mephisto is an excellent brand. I have purchased the Rush also for two nieces who are nurses and are on their feet a lot. They are very grateful for the support of this shoe.

Too tight - Spent the most ever on a shoe, wore them with special socks, they pinch my toes. Don't seem to help my heel spur and seem like a vise all around giving the feet a tinkling feeling all day.

Comfort and quality, why buy anything else? The shoes are absolutely perfectly sized and fit like a glove. I am sorry that Mephisto choose to discontinue the light gray shade, but the cream is still very nice.
