I have very wide feet. A W is normally not wide enough and a WW is sometimes too wide. I decided to try this shoe at a 9 1/2 W because the price was so low. I got my shoes yesterday and they are wonderful. Great fit, not too wide in the heel, no pinching at the toes. I also have a high instep and lace up shoes are often uncomfortable right where you tie the shoe laces. These are not, they lace up very comfortably. I wore them to the gym for resistance training and they are very stable and light on my feet, great arch support. No more clunky, heavy sneakers for me.

These shoes are great. I got the ten and half wide and they are so comfortable. The grey and pink are lovely and light colored and blend in great with grey/black cords or jeans. They don't stand out or look big even in this size. I am very happy I got them. I went to a shoe shop first and got my feet measured properly, which helped me with the size. They are comfortable from the first wear. I would definitely recommend them for people who have painful feet from standing and for walking. Great service.

Love these shoes. Asics are my favorite shoes to work out in. The fit was just right (a half size larger than regular shoe size). People at the gym are always giving me good comments and wanting to know where I got these shoes. And of course I tell them Zappos!

I hit a double whammy this week when 2 pairs of 8W shoes came in quickly and they were both super comfy. The Asics Gel-105, in pink metallic, was one pair. I have been having a hard time finding a pair of good shoes to walk/run in that don't hurt my little toes. My little toes can fan out here because the way the shoe is made, the toe touches the fabric not the seam. I tried a pair of NB, but just did not work. My little toes were killing me being pinned in by a hard seam. The cushioning is great, I feel steady on my feet and they are lightweight as well. So my feet will be giving these shoes 5 stars with an extra thank you from 2 of the littlest piggies. The other shoes were Rieker in a great pewter color that will go with everything. I will post a review for these as well. I am a teacher getting ready for the school year and these shoes will be my favorites for the fall, I am sure.

I bought the Asics Gel 105 in silver and pink. This is a great shoe. Like walking on cotton balls. I have had foot surgery and it is hard now to find shoes that fit. Zappos is so good to take back the shoes and you can not beat the service. Got them the next day. You will love these shoes, just take it from a shoe junkie. They felt true so size.

Love the shoes. They are exactly what I want. However it is true that color does make a difference in size. The Black and Pink ones fit GREAT. But the Mint and White ones I had to send back, they did not fit right at all. They were same size same width same style, odd.

I love these sneakers. I have knee problems and I slightly over pronate. I've always worn New Balance, but recently I started running again seriously and the NB were just not cutting it. These are really a huge improvement and I adore how light-weight they are. I'm an Adidas fan also, but a pair I was interested in just felt too heavy. Admittedly I don't love the minty color, but whatever, they serve the purpose I aimed for.

Very comfy - I like the Asics shoes because they tend to have more room in the toe box than other athletic shoes. I always a half-size larger though because they tend to feel too short.

Great fit. Nice and wide in the toe box, but cups a narrow heel nicely. Got mine in mint/silver/black and it looks great.

Pound the pavement! Lemme start by saying Timberland make great shoes. I used to think they were overpriced, but now, three pairs of Timberlands later, I think they're worth it. As for these shoes, to me, they're more comfy out on the concrete than indoors! They just seem to be made for soldiering (ok, I've seen The Warriors one time too many) through these city streets. Extremely comfortable.

Casual and Comfortable for everyday! I love Zappos! This little Timberland is perfect for travel or every casual purpose. It is easy to put on (needs a bit of a shoehorn for some people) fits snugly and feels great. It's not tight, just snug. It is a slight shoe with a good tread. I'll buy another pair for sure.

Timberland's Fells Slip On - I really didn't like the color of the shoe, but I thought it was very comfortable. It was a little wider than I thought it would be.
