I have loved my shopping experience with Zappos from my first purchase to this one. There has never been a time I have been disappointed. Often times, companies rely on computers or automated systems to assist their customer base. I cannot stand that practice. With Zappos I appreciate the personal human touch they provide. Thank you for allowing your customers a real experience, your customer service reps are fantastic. Thank you!

My husband has really wide feet (4E) and was suffering from a (in the process of healing) fracture in his foot when we purchased these. He said they are the single most comfortable pair of shoes he has ever worn. He hates to take them off. Wants to order some back up pairs, just in case. Highly recommend!

The high arch took a few days for my flat feet to get used to even with my custom orthodics in place. After a few days of wear they are one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Zappos' service is great.

Great comfy shoe...I run on concrete all day. I'm a valet. It's like running on a cloud.

These shoes are great as running/exercise shoes and everyday shoes. I first bought a pair for the treadmill and upon putting them on, I felt a very large gel/pad at the heel and the toe. Basically, Asics, placed extra support at the impact zones and I couldn't thank them more for it. This padding definitely helps on the treadmill.
As an everyday shoe, they are also very very good. However, the padding does tend to flatten out after a few weeks. I still feel it, but it's not as obvious as day one. As a result, I switch between these and dressier shoes to give the insoles a break. I bought the green/grey combo (treadmill) and and the red/grey combo (everyday). I prefer the green/grey styling, but I wanted to have a visual difference with the workout and work shoes.

These shoes are a great bang for the buck, good bounce, great look, great support, can't say anything about durability as I have only had them a month.

I was looking for a good inexpensive running/cross trainer to replace my previous pair of Asics. I tried Nike and New Balance, but ultimately came back to an Asics shoe.

My son has extremely flat feet with pronation issues. He was very excited that these shoes fit, and he says they are so comfortable. They will even be orthotic-friendly for him! Another great purchase from Zappos! This mom loves Zappos!

Shoes are great! Quite a bit cheaper than stores in Houston. Arrived before promised delivery date. I order a full size larger than what I wear day to day. It helps tremendously.

Two thumbs up. I changed my size after I ordered. it was same day. I expected little delay of my shipment but it delivered as scheduled. I can't complain anything. Also I had a problem with my knee before I use this shoes but it is all gone after I wear this shoes and run. Perfect shoes for running.

These shoes are freaking awesome! This is my second pair; I wore the soles off of the first pair. The Gel insets in the heel make it like walking on air. I wear custom orthotics because I have bad knees, and it is hard to find shoes that are comfortable. But these are wonderful. I highly recommend them, I walk about 3 miles a night with the dog and my feet always feel like they are being hugged by God on our walks.

I love ASICS and wear no other brand of shoe when exercising. They fit well and cushion the foot perfectly. These were for my husband, who I have now converted into an ASICS lover. Zappos provided excellent service, as always!

I bought these shoes because I was developing foot problems from wearing my slightly-too-narrow, minimal arch support Danner boots. I am on my feet at least 8 hours a day and one month into wearing these shoes, I still feel like I am walking on air. Not to mention that these shoes do make me feel like running more and jumping higher.

ASICS are my top choice for athletic shoes because they always fit. Others seem to change size from one model to the next or from year to year. But, these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I look forward to slipping them on. And you can't go wrong with Zappos either. They are simply the best.

Great fit, comfortable and cushiony feel. My foot feels like it's in the shoe, and not just sitting on the shoe.
So many of the running shoes I tried on felt like stiff bricks strapped to my feet - these don't feel that way at all. I have bad knees, so I need the extra shock absorption I feel in these shoes. I like them so much, I am ordering them in other colors.

I ordered these sneakers for my husband and they are the most comfortable running shoes, he said. And Zappos always surprises me with next day delivery service. Thanks Zappos; you are the best!

I'm typically a Nike shoe wearer simply because they tend to have a narrow, high arch profile. The Asics fit even better, the heel cup support is great. In fact they fit so well that I got a second pair.

Great selection, allowed me to get just the style and color of my favorite type of running shoe. Price was right. Fast delivery time to rural location. Easy to use web site. You deserve all the good press I read

These fit a little snug compared to my last pair, but still a really comfortable shoe for running, flying, or operating.

I have chosen Asics as my preferred running shoe brand for the last several years. There isn't another manufacturer that produces the same feel, and fit. Like my other Asics, this pair are no exception. Plus the look and design is perfect for my mainly black, and shades-of-gray choice of style.

I bought these pairs because these are the only Asics trail shoes come in 4E. I've been running on and off the road for two months and I am really digging them. I've been wearing Kayano in the summer, but felt Kahana are much nicer ride even on the road. Kahana does look cheap and they are really cheap compare to other high-end model from Asics, but I'm really happy that I tried them. Pairng with Green Superfeet these are GTG!

This is a solid trail shoe for the price. They get good grip in both wet and dry conditions and on multiple surfaces (leaves, rocks, dirt). The ride is a little soft on pavement so I'd stick to the natural stuff except for short stretches. I cannot yet attest to long term durability, though they don't show any negative signs after multiple moderately tough outings.
