I need to always remember, Asics are the only sneaker I should run in! After healing from blisters from running in Adidas, I decided to go back to what always works. These are great, fit well and very supportive.

I took a chance based on other reviewers and got these in place of New Balance. I have custom inserts and have had plantar fasciitis in the past. These are so comfortable and are wide enough for my inserts. I find they aren't quite as wide as the New Balance which is great since once my NB got broken in a bit, they became too wide and my foot would come out on lunges. Totally recommend these!

These shoes are fantastic. Also great for people who wear orthotic inserts, as I have to. They fit great in this shoe, because it is wider than other athletic shoes. A salesperson at the shoe department in a store turned me on to Asics and I know this will be my athletic shoe choice from now on.

I got these in pink and I love them! I have been running in Asics for years and these are by far the best pair I have bought to date. It is like running on air.

I have worn Asics for almost seven years, but this is the best pair so far! Hip surgery changed the way I walked and my knees hurt constantly...but not with these shoes! They are great! Knees no longer hurt and I walk more normally now. These shoes are an excellent fit (8N). They have been on my feet every walking moment. They have made such a change in my life. I can't praise them enough!

Love these shoes. I have a narrow foot so often have trouble with fit. These have been awesome since Day 1.

Love the shoe. I have a narrow foot and it seems to work with a med. weight sock. Very comfortable. I would buy these shoes again.

This pair of shoes was a Christmas present from my husband. I love to walk and hike with my husband and these shoes are very comfortable. I was having problems with pains in my feet during walking. I don't notice the pain when I wear these shoes.

Love this shoe! Haven't had a more comfortable tennis shoe. I wore these as a lab transporter, where I was on my feet all the time. I won't buy anything else!

Great supportive, well-cushioned shoe. I usually wear an 8-1/2 but needed a 9 in this shoe.

Replacing another pair of Asics I own. I found that this shoe has more of a rubber tip in the shoe rather than a mesh like my previous style shoe. It is hard for me to find a good shoe for a narrow heel. Zappos was really quick in its delivery.

My 16 year old daughter loves these sneakers...she is a miler on the high school track team and logs on many miles/week. She is a slight pronator, which these sneakers address.

I have problems with plantar fasciitis and good arch support is my number one priority. I love these shoes and have two pair.

Have worn some iteration or other of the Asics Gel for many years. I am a speedwalker who walks in a tough environment; a ditchbank that can be dry/dusty or wet/muddy. Uneven terrain at best is what I am on; these shoes have served me well in all settings I have encountered.
I'd also recommend:
maybe New Balance...

Very comfy for walking! I almost could have gone with a 9.5 size, but 10 is nice, roomy, and comfy. Highly recommended. Old walking shoes, cheap ones, are no good. I was getting blisters, my feet were unhappy.

Bit of a short heel so it sort of feels like it's slipping but otherwise very nice shoes. I'm on my 3rd generation of Kayanos.

I bought these after having a gait test. I found out I needed stability shoes and that was why my feet were cramping when I exercised. I bought these and absolutely love them! I can Zumba for an hour with no foot cramping.

These are great running shoes. I bought them because they have good forefoot cushioning unlike some running shoes. I do put my own orthodics inside.

Great shoes have had them before from sports stores exactly the same sizing and fit only better priced than traditional sports store. I love Zappos.

My running store recommended these shoes but they were out of stock in my size and suggested I order them online. The price was good, delivery on time and very comfortable. They provide a cushion feeling without letting my foot twist in either direction.

I fell in love with a different version/color of these shoes. The shoes have consistently been solid and great for training.

These are my "go to" running shoes so it's easy to re-order once you know what you like and what works for you on the road. I had never ordered from Zappos, but they had them on sale, so what a deal!

Super comfortable and a great running shoe. I'm usually a size 8 but I buy these a size up to use with thicker socks and they are perfect in 8.5. Just love them!

These shoes are fantastic for relief of my plantar fascia. I do use a semi-rigid insert and that helps a great deal with the arch support. Asics shoes have a wider toe box which I find extremely comfortable. I have been wearing Asics for over 10 years and have found no other brand to give as much support and comfort.
