These maybe the best crossfit shoes I have ever had. I have done the minimus, free, free, and asics nailed it with this shoe. Very light, super comfy and the perfect fit for any crossfit box, run, or loaf around in.

Good quality shoe. Very light and appears to have a durable build after a few weeks use. I'd say the sizing ran a tiny bit small, but not that much to cause discomfort or pain.

Very comfortable, well ventilated running shoe. The Asics design on the side is not laminated in the shoe and is subject to more wear than normal. I loved the first edition Blur, probably ran more than ever with them (too much). These are a really nice continuation but I think there's still room for improvement.

Great, lightweight shoe for anyone that walks or stands on their feet all day. It also gets a lot of comments about it's great looks.

Great, lightweight running shoe. I purchased these to complement the pair of Gel Kayano 18's that I use on longer runs. They do not offer as much fore-foot cushioning, but are lighter and help with my supination. As far as styling, the eyelets are a little far apart when looked at from above, but that does not affect fit or function. I will definitely look into purchasing these, or the next incarnation of them, again when I wear through the current pair.

I've worn Asics for several years and these were just what I expected, well made, light, and feel great. They also look cool, I have received several compliments on them.

Mr. Traditional met Miss Minimal and gave birth to beautiful twins. Perfect balance between both. I'll be going back for a second pair.

Love them! I usually wear the Nimbus, so spending quite a bit less on the GEL-Blur33 was nice. I'm not much of a runner anymore, so I wear these mostly in the gym and out on the soccer fields when I am coaching. In the gym, I like that they are a little flatter inside. Less wobbly when you are standing with weights, squats, etc. Kind of surprised these aren't a little lighter than my Nimbus shoes, but not a big concern for me. Very comfortable and substantial. I like the breathable outer. The outer "cage" part of the shoe is a little stiff out of the box and rubbed a bit, but loosened up. I got the red pair and like the look of them.

Bought these today and I love them! There should be an extra star for style because these shoes look badass!

Great shoe just like previous versions. Recently received the and I expect them to be like running slippers once they wear in. Previous versions worked out that way for me.
