Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Intensity® W

Good overall workout shoe - This is my first pair of Asics and I really like them. I'm using these shoes for kickboxing, weight lifting and step aerobics. They are comfortable and provide good lateral support. I went up a half size when I bought this pair since the other shoes I had been using were causing a tingling sensation in my feet. The extra room seems to have resolved that issue.

Awesome Shoe! Huge fan of Asics, I have a pair for Volleyball and I bought this particular pair for Step Aerobics. Very comfortable on the feet! I plan to use them in a 5K I'm going to run in as well. Thank you!

Great shoe! Very comfortable shoe. Have used for aerobics, weight lifting, and treadmill walking. Awesome delivery time. Love Zappos. Keep up the great service!

Great workout shoe - At first I wasn't sure I liked them, but after one workout, the shoes literally molded to my feet and now provide great support and real comfort. In the past I've worn Nike shox and NB. These, by far, are my favorite.

Immediately made a difference in my workouts - These immediately made a difference in my workouts. Before I bought these shoes I was having pain in my knees & it was difficult to keep up in my cardio classes. After I bought them there was an extra spring in my step & because of that I had a lot more energy to do my workouts. I strongly recommend these for anyone who does a lot of machines & cardio classes.

Great Asics - This shoe is great. I usually buy Asics and once again was not disappointed. I always order a half size up. They feel great.

REV J - I bought this shoe due to a recommendation in a magazine. The shoe is very comfortable and lives up to its claims. I use it for bicycling, weights, and on the elliptical trainer. I wear a 9 and 1/2 shoe but always buy size 10 in athletic shoes. It fits good.

I LOVE THESE SHOES! I got these for my upcoming wedding and they are perfect. The diamonds are a little much but other then that they are great! They fit very well; they are comfortable and easy to walk in. LOVE THEM. And I got them in only 2 days with free shipping! Very happy with the shoes and Zappos.

I like this shoe A LOT - I like this shoe a lot for my workouts in the gym. It's comfy and cute! Very supportive as I am currently trying to overcome some knee issues. I found it to be true to size and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good cross training shoe. I'm reluctant to wear it for everyday, I want to see how long it'll hold up just using it at the gym. We'll see!

Great shoe - The Asics's Gel-Intensity is very comfortable and provides great stability with any high intensity work-out. I use them for cardio-kickboxing and for step-aerobics and they are awesome.

One of the best sneakers I've worn over the last few years - Great workout shoe. At first, a little stiff in the heel, but broke in nicely after the first few wears. Offers great support for cardio and weight lifting.

Nice workout shoe for aerobics, tae-bo - I bought this shoe because my running shoes would snag the carpet during indoor workouts/videos workouts. I have been using a Bosu ball and needed something that would allow me to go on and off of it--not a lot of deep grooves on the sole. This shoe was perfectly comfortable from the moment I put it on. I only gave it four stars because during some workouts I feel like I could use more cushioning under my toes. Otherwise, a great buy!

Most comfy shoe - These shoes are great for exercise. They are very true to size. I am flat footed and these shoes offer great support.

Great all around workout shoes - These shoes were rated #1 for all around workout shoes, and for good reason. They are the most comfortable I've ever had, and give you plenty of support.

Pleasantly surprised! I recently read about the ASICS Gel-Intensity in a fitness magazine. I had been searching for an all-around gym shoe for machines, weights, and classes. Readers tested this shoe for exactly that purpose, and it received a glowing report. I immediately placed an order and was pleasantly surprised to find the magazine article was right!

Best cross trainer I have ever had! I purchased this shoe in an 8.5 which I always do for athletic shoes. My dress shoe size is an 8. I bought the black/silver combo and they are beautiful. I have worn these shoes for step, strength training and zumba. They have a little pivot point and a little less traction than some other cross trainers so they really do work for dance.

Great Lateral Support! I LOVE this shoe. It offers great lateral support and has a wide cushiony toe. I highly recommend it!

I just received these shoes yesterday and wore then to my Total Conditioning class last night, which is strength training and athletic drills. This shoe was one of the most comfortable x-training shoes I have bought, especially right out of the box. I thought they had a lot more flexibility than my old Asics 240, especially for lunges. The support felt good on side to side movements as well. My feet stayed cool and dry in these shoes as well. I got the blue/silver color. They look a lot cooler than my old yellow/silver Asics. I would recommend this shoe for other group fitness fans who enjoy a variety of classes.

I've always had good luck with all the Asics gym shoes and this purchase wasn't any different. They fit great and offer the support I need for all the different types of classes I take. Zappos is a great way to try different shoes without the hassle of going to the store.

Great shoe - I've worn Asics Kayano running shoe for years. Love those, but had too much play in the toe box for x-training (esp. lateral movements). These Gel-Intensity x-trainers fit the bill -- plenty of cushion, stability, & breathability. Love these & love how quickly I rc'd them from Zappos (< 24 hrs from the time I ordered!).

After reading many of the reviews on the Zappos site, I was excited to order this shoe. Though others mentioned this shoe ran small, I ordered my usual size. I have found this shoe to be a bit wide! It is fine when I wear a thicker sock (which gets too hot), but it feels loose when I wear the thinner socks that I prefer. I do a variety of workouts both at the gym and at home: step, kickbox, weight training, 4 or 5 times a week. So, I was looking for a reliable and versatile shoe. This shoe is stable and grips well even with lateral movement, pile jumps, push-ups (my last shoes used to slide so much doing push-ups!). Some reviewers said their knees felt better, mine are a little less noticeable, but hey, I am 52 and you just start to have more aches and pains! Overall, this is a good shoe.

Purchased these shoes for my high impact cardio class, they are perfect. Great shock aborption in the ball of the foot and heel, normally I wear orthotics but don\'t need them with these shoes. Glide across the floor, non-marking sole. Would not recommend for running as they are a little slick on the sole for that.

I purchased these shoes because I needed some lateral support for general training. I have very flat arches and overpronate. For that purpose, these shoes are great. However, I do not recommend jogging\/running in these shoes. For me, there wasn\'t enough support. I didn\'t have my running shoes and decided to try running in these. After about 10 minutes, my Achilles tendons and my arches (or where they should be) were so sore that I had to stop.

This is a fairly good shoe but what I was hoping for is a cross training shoe. These shoes do not have the cushioning in the forefoot that I am looking for in a shoe. In fact, I find that this is a relatively hard shoe. I have very high arches and a narrow heel and I find that the arch support is inadequate for me. The heel fits better that the ASICS Cumulus for me with only a little slippage and the lateral support seems good. I will use this shoe as an everyday shoe for walking around the house and shopping as it is somewhat comfortable. However, I would not work out in this shoe.

Comfortable - This shoe is pretty comfortable for walking or low intensity workouts. I would not recommend this shoe for high intensity workouts because there is not a lot of support for lateral movement.
