Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Foundation® 8

I love this shoe! The support is awesome and they are very comfortable. I have low arches and this gives me just the right support to make my day a walk in the clouds.

These shoes are terrific. I need a lot of room for my toes and bunion area, and the medium width is just perfect. Support and cushion also seem very good. My podiatrist helped me pick this shoe, and she was right!

Besides walking and light cardio, I am on my feet all day. These shoes definitely passed the nurse test. After a week of wear, no leg fatigue to report. Heal pain no more. Thanks Asics.

I was so pleased with this site. I desperately needed my shoes to prevent another knee injury and no other site had them in stock in time for the race. Zappos came through! I overnighted my shoes, had them in time to break them in properly and had my best race time yet!

I am an overweight individual with flat feet and plantar fasciitis. I recently started a rigorous workout regimen and was hindered by pain in my feet. These sneakers have the arch support necessary for me to work on my weight loss. The arch supports in the shoes are great for my over pronation problem. I ordered another pair to leave at work.

If maximum support for an overpronated ankle is what you are looking for then this is great shoe. This was my first time using Zappos. I selected regular shipping and my order arrived in 3 days! I love Zappos!

I am very pleased with my new Asics! They offer good support and cushioning. I\'d highly recommend buying a pair!

I have flat feet, leg length discrepancy, scoliosis, and the knee tracking problems that go with all of those. These are very supportive and comfortable, and after a knee injury I'm able to get back out walking again. I feel these help me line up properly and securely and may even be helping to strengthen the parts that weren't working before. I'm so glad I found them. Local stores did not carry them. Yay Zappos!

Fantastic running shoe with a roomy toe box and plenty of motion control in the heel. I'm considering buying several of this model for the years to come.

These are one of very few shoes that fit my foot and my custom orthotics. They provide great support and control my foot allowing for a better gait pattern. I am not a runner or do sports of any kind. I do walk many miles while working and they really give me the best support out there. I recommend them!

Excellent sneakers for running, especially if you have flat feet. The only downside was blisters when I first started using them, but it wasn\'t anything thicker socks couldn\'t have voided. I highly recommend them.

I love my new shoes! My left foot overpronates due to a stroke I had at a young age. With these news shoes, I've been able to take up running! No joke. Very comfortable, very supportive. I want to buy a 2nd pair!

I’ve been wearing this sneaker series for 8 years and love them. Cushy and yet supportive for my overpronating feet. An orthotic fits, too. Note - they run small, so order up 1/2 to 1 full size. Bummed to have to buy pink sneakers for this year’s model, but the fact that I did it, proves how much I like the shoe’s fit and function.

This shoe has superior support. My left foot has a severe pronation problem, and this shoe supports the arch very well. My right foot's arch got a blister, but it went away. It took about a week for the right foot to break it in, but now both feel comfortable. I run five miles, five times a week on concrete. I have purchased Gel Kayanos for the last five years, and have needed extra insole supports. The Gel Foundations truly give more arch support. I would recommend them to anyone who has a pronation issue. Asics is the best shoe for anyone who does any type of physical activity!

I was having problems with my computer the day I ordered these shoes. I ordered, the old-fashioned way, by phone. The customer service rep was very helpful and nice to speak with. I didn't take any more time than it would typing in the info in the computer. I placed the order on Thursday evening and the shoes arrived on Friday. Your service is the best. In the past I have only had to return one item and that went smoothly as well. Zappos will always be my first choice!

This is my 2nd pair of these sneaks, love them. Have some foot issues and narrow foot, these are very comfortable and the 2AA fits my foot. Really like the color too, doesn\'t show dirt and looks good with pants or shorts.

This is the second pair of this shoe that I have bought. I have long, narrow, flat feet and so these work really well. I like the fact that the tongue doesn’t slip to the side like it does on some other shoes.

These shoes are AMAZING!! I started running to loose weight and (i am not a runner) and after 2 months my shins, ankles, and arches were killing me! I thought it was over, that I would never run again. Then I found these shoes and read about overpronation. That was my problem and the reviews helped me to realize this. I put them on when I got them and I ran over 4 miles, not kidding, and no pain in my arches and legs. I have been running with them for a month now and I have not had a problem at all. I love them!

Love these shoes! Have always worn New Balance but was disappointed in the fit and feel of the last pair. The Asics have plenty of toebox room yet fit my narrow feet (9-1/2N). Can wear them all day without my toes feeling cramped.

These shoes are very stable mid-foot through heel, nice and flexible where your toes bend. They took a little getting used to as they are more stable than what I used to wear (which is why I bought them), but now they're nice and comfy and supportive. I wish they made them with a leather outer! Zappos service was quick as usual!

I absolutely love this shoe. Comfort all the way around and also love the mesh uppers for breathability and comfort. I purchased the D Width to eliminate discomfort to my toes-but the heel fits just perfect.

I have been a New Balance gal for many years, but noticed that many participants in local walks/runs wear ASICS, so I thought I would give them a try. I selected this style because I am a severe over pronater. I could feel the adjustment in my stance as soon as I put them on. They have been comfortable from the start, although I could have used a half size larger. There is plenty of room for my orthotics. I ordered a narrow size and they are the first athletic shoes I've owned in a long while that have fit my narrow feet appropriately. They are very comfortable for walking and jogging.

These are my running/workout shoes. I had been wearing the Asics Kayanos, but because of the narrowness of that shoe, I was losing my toenails on long runs, so I tried these. They completely solved the problem! The toe area is nice and round, and they provide plenty of support. They are very firm and secure around the ankle; some people might find this irritating, but it doesn’t bother me. Oh, and I love that I can find running shoes that aren’t bright white. Because these are silver, I can wear them with jeans without attracting too much attention. In fact, the old ones are probably going to become my running-around-town shoes.

Zappos is the best company to work with. I ordered the shoes on Saturday and they were delivered on Monday. I have ordered from Zappos before and always had excellent service. As for the shoe, it is great and exactly as described. The shoe box is roomy but the heel is tight. I wear an 8 Narrow, but ordered an 8.5 narrow (2A) which fit well. The feel is stable and secure. I couldn't find a cross trainer in my size, so I decided to try this shoe. I think it is stable enough for lateral motion as well as well walking or running. Great shoe, great fit, great service.

I hope these shoes are never discontinued, because they are the very best running/walking shoes I have ever owned. I had them fit specially for my feet at a running store where the clerk measured my feet and assessed my gait. They are perfect! I have very narrow flat feet and it's difficult to find shoes in a narrow width. These are the only shoes I have found where my heel doesn't slip in and out when I walk. I removed the arch supports that came with them and replaced them with my own doctor-suggested brand so I can't comment on the inherent arch support of the shoe, but everything else is wonderful. They don't show wear and tear, last 6 months when worn daily, and clean easily.
