Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Frantic® 5

Love these sneakers! Very comfortable. Love the quick ship from Zappos!

Love, love, love these tennis shoes. I've owned several tennis shoes and these truly are the best for walking or jogging in. I love Zappos, and how quick they ship my items!

Shoes were for my granddaughter and she loves them. Won 1st place in 5K run with her school class. Yeah!

I am a fitness instructor and therefore am on my feet all day. I had developed plantar fascia and then a heel spur with an Achilles tendinitis. My doctor recommended a I get a stability runner shoe. Since I teach aerobics I was fearful the thick treads would make my foot stick to the floor and not allow good mobility. This shoe was the perfect fit, in many ways, it offers me the good stability I needed and the bottom you can see is a bit smoother which is good on the gym floor. I had sized myself in the store but this shoe is true to my usual sneaker size.

These shoes are outstanding for my turbo kick class! I spent months trying to find the right shoes that had good support and cushioning, and also allowed support for the jumping and side to side movements of the turbo kick class. These are finally them! For me, it has just enough cushioning, and it supports my foot when we are sliding from side to side. I wore these for another fitness class and they were great for that too. I also have a somewhat wide foot, and these did not feel too tight. I normally wear a 7, and that size fit me fine in these.

These are my second pair of Asics shoes; they are comfortable and great looking shoes. They do seem to run smaller compared to my last pair of Asics shoes, so as others have suggested, I bought a size larger and that worked for me. They have been versatile as I have used them for work, walks, and hikes. My family has had the best experience with Zappos' customer service. Your new shoes will arrive remarkably fast. With free shipping and free returns, you are never out-of-pocket if they do not work out making it easy to ultimately get the size and fit that is right for you.

I love this shoe, it's very attractive, comfortable and supportive. Worn for running, walking and weight training. Can't go wrong!

Overall it is an excellent shoe! It is comfortable to workout with and it also looks great. I would definitely recommend this shoe. Asics are truly the best.

Very stylish running shoe. It took wearing them once before they were comfortable running in them.

These are not "as" comfortable as a more expensive running shoe, but they are about half the price. It's a great shoe if you aren't a dedicated runner. I find some Asics have too much arch support, but these seem to be just about the right amount for my comfort level. I generally wear a a 6.5 in most brands, but a 7 in Nikes and Asics. I actually had to go to a 7.5 in this particular shoe, so it definitely does run small in length. The toe box space is generous, if that is an area you need more space in.

I run longer distances and I absolutely love these shoes! They are very comfortable. I definitely recommend them.

These shoes are great! I bought them mainly for running and walking, although I use them also for light strength training. The arch support in these is great. I felt a major difference from my old Asics. The toe box seems a little wider than what I'm used to and as a result the front of my foot does slide around a bit from side to side, but not enough to cause discomfort (I have a normal-to-narrow foot). They are really good-looking and stylish...sometimes I wear them to school just because I love the way they look! Overall, a great shoe and an excellent price!

Love this shoe! I was a little concerned about ordering shoes online because I had never used Zappos before. I'm very satisfied though with the overall customer service and product. These shoes are awesome and fit just like all of my other 7.5 Asics!

I work out 6 days a week and I need a supportive shoe and this one fits the bill. They are great for Zumba.

I absolutely love these! I've had them for about 5 months now and they're still in great shape. I run about 3-5 miles at a time, indoor and outdoor. I love that the black color doesn't look 'dirty' after I jog outside. I also love the aqua accents. Overall, probably my favorite tennis shoe I've owned thus far.

These are great shoes. I actually have two pairs. For someone with wider feet I have been very happy with these shoes.

Love them! Make sure you buy a half size bigger though. I did because that's what people recommended in reviews and they fit perfectly. It's a very comfortable shoe.

Very comfortable in the heel for a narrow foot like mine, but short for a true size 9. Tongue sticks up a bit high. Classy shoe!

I love these shoes but the problem is that they are to small to fit orthotics so order the bigger size.

I typically love Asics and especially the Gel-Frantic, but these ran a little smaller than normal for some reason. This was a first for me... They are neater looking in person, meaning they have a gray underlying fabric under the white mesh. Of course, Zappos had them at my door the very next day. Awesome!

It seems the quality of Asics products has changed. This particular shoe is still great, but it surely does run very, very short. It's still the best fit for my tends-to-run-narrow foot, though.

This shoe is absolutely smaller than any other pair of Asics I've owned (at least 6-8 pairs). It killed my toes and didn't stretch like I've had with other pairs of Asics. Very disappointed! I usually wear a 9.5 in Asics (9 in regular shoes), but I'd need at least a 10 in these!

I love these shoes -- they are fantastic for lateral movement. I wear them whenever I'm teaching BOSU classes, interval, step, etc. They're not so great for flat-out running on concrete (I like my GT-2160s for that) but fantastic for any type of indoor gym workout, stable and moderately cushioned.

These shoes are very comfortable and have excellent cushioning at the heel. Highly recommended!

I love Asics and while these are really nice looking shoes, they are not the most comfortable Asics that I have owned. That being said, they are still a good purchase. However I do use other Asics for running. I wished these would be my "go to" shoes but they aren't as comfortable. Super cute though!
