Great shoe! I have never complained about my feet hurting unlike most of my co-workers after a 12 hours shift. Love them!

Asics Lover -
This is good shoe, but not as comfortable as I had hoped. According to the other reviews, this was a good stability running shoe. I have flat feet and arch support is paramount. This doesn't provide a high level of arch support. I guess I need to stick Asics trail runner models; they really deliver!

Love these shoes!
These are really great running sneakers! I have flat feet and these have the arch support that I need. I got them in wide as I usually do. They are really nice looking, too!

Great shoes -
I literally ran my old Nikes into the ground, so it was time for a new pair of running/jogging/walking shoes. I've always heard good things about Asics so thought I'd give these a try. My feet tend to pronate a little bit, and I saw that these shoes addressed that. They arrived quickly, they look great, the fit was about true to size, maybe a tad snug at first, but the support is terrific and I'm enjoying these shoes. I wear a 10 wide and it's so nice to be able to find good choices for my feet at Zappos!

An orthopedic physical therapist's review.
An excellent shoe because it combines stability with flexibility, support with cushioning, and depth for orthotics.

Uncertain...
I just purchased my ASICS about 1 1/2 weeks ago and I wear orthotics in my sneakers. I don't know if I'm still adjusting to new sneakers, but when I'm doing my cardio kickboxing class which has a lot of kicking and jumping, I didn't feel these sneakers were as supportive as I expected and felt some discomfort during my workout. Maybe I need more time to break them in, but I'll see...

Comfortable shoe!
Some "tennis" shoes make your feet look huge. This one doesn't and is so light and comfortable. I also like the fact the laces are long enough to tie. The Zappos delivery was so quick. I tried these shoes on in a store, came home to compare prices and found the Zappos price lower than the store. Had the shoes the next day and didn't pay for the expedited shipping. Great service, great shoe. The shoe will accommodate a thin orthotic for sure. I used one.

Arrived super quick out to Iraq! They feel a little tight, but I'm sure they'll loosen up after some regular wear. I've bought this brand before, and in the same size, and they were always really comfy.

I bought these shoes in the grey/espresso/red and I've gotten many compliments on them. I wouldn't say they are a great workout shoe, I purchased them for looks.

Great trail shoe -
I have a wide foot, high arch and high instep. These shoes fit and feel great. We live in a rural environment, I hike and walk on mud and gravel roads, these shoes work well for me on multiple surfaces.

Very comfy! Overall I have to say I am so extremely satisfied with Zappos turn around time on delivery that is just amazing. I ordered the shoes one day and got them the next day. Not charged any shipping or rush delivery. Just amazing! Shoes are great, very comfy, I already wore them when I went for a run with my dog and my feet do not hurt, nor are they aching, no pain but comfort. I wear a size 8 and ordered these in 8.5.

GREAT BASIC TRAIL SHOE -
I got these shoes about a month ago. I normally wear a 10 and after reading the reviews, I ordered my normal size... I ended up having to return them and order a half size larger. The 10 1/2s were great. These are very comfortable shoes for hiking trails and walking concrete. I recommend them to anyone who wants a good everyday walking shoe that can take a little extra stress.

My toes got completely numb - Unfortunately, I had to return these shoes. I simply couldn't finish my workout when I wore them first time because my toes got completely numb. I never had this problem with any other brand.
