These Gel Kushon 2's are very comfortable & I love the color! True to size in length & width. I don't feel the stiffness that others have mentioned; but the laces are short, though! These shoes are great.

This is my 2nd pair of this same shoe. The ones I got last year were awesome! This pair is more stiff and hurt my feet for the first few weeks. The back comes up so high on my heel that it made it sore. When driving more than 30 min in car, the balls of my feet start tingling. I'm not sure what Asics did, but this is definitely different from the other pair of Asics Gel Kushion 2 shoes I own.

I have been running for at least 20 years, and the past 10 I have worn exclusively Asics. I love the way they fit and feel. I have to say, though, that I am pretty disappointed with the "Kushon." It does not feel "kushon-y" at all to me, more like wearing a board on your feet. The description says you will want to go "the extra mile" with these shoes on. Not me. Unfortunately, I have already worn them, so I can't take advantage of Zappos return policy, so they are being delegated to my shorter runs. Perhaps when they are more broken in I will change my mind, but, right now I would not buy this model again. Love my other Asics, though!
