Way too hard bottom for running.

This shoe is my go to for running. Roomy in the toe and super cushy. I have had multiple knee surgeries and they are the only ones that make me feel stable enough. I am an 8 in "regular" shoes and I always get an 8.5 and they are perfect! Highly recommended!

I am recovering from foot surgery and this shoe in wide was perfect. I'm using a custom orthotic and it is an awesome shoe. I wore it to Maui on my first outing.

Asics Gel-1170 was comfortable from day one. It's a great shoe and best of all it seems to help my posture. There's absolutely no wobble when I walk.

A slightly updated version of the 1160's which have always been the only Asics that fit me perfectly. The 1170's feel slightly more sturdy, but the fit seems to be the same.

Bough these shoes for my wife and she already commented that these are lighter and better to run in than her last pair of Asics. She runs everyday on asphalt so she needs new shoes every 6-9 months. She is very happy with this new pair.

Christmas gift for my daughter who runs marathons. Needed new training shoes and likes these a lot. Wore them for the first time on an 8 mile run...no complaints

I have been wearing the 1160 and now 1170 for running and love the fit. I have a wide foot so the width selection is helpful- I wear a D. In all running shoes I go up a 1/2 a size. These are so comfortable I bought a pair for work and as a nurse Im on my feet all day. Love them!

Perfect fit and very cute! I have narrow feet and use an orthotic for my arches and the shoe is great for me.

These shorts are perfect for the summer. I began purchasing Prana clothing within the last year and all pieces have lived up to my standards. I'm 5'2 1/2", 115 lbs with an athletic build with a rounder bootie than pictured above. I was afraid I'd have to get a zero because it might be too baggy but a size 2 fit me like it was made for me! Perfect length for hot days without being too skimpy looking. Can't wait for the stone to go on sale.

Cute shorts, and not too short. The four inch inseam is perfect. I am 5'3" and 115lb, athletic build and the size 0 fit nicely. These will be fun for the summer!

It's hard to find cute shorts that fit beautifully and feel great too. These are perfectly functional for hiking and travel. I couldn't be happier. I think the sizing is generous, and complements an athletic figure. I have an athletic full bottom and muscular thighs and they fit great. They have a contemporary look to them as well. Look very expensive and good quality and craftsmanship.
