These are great shoes! I hiked on a "Difficult" rated Colorado hike and didn't have any soreness. I bought my normal size and a half size bigger and liked the bigger ones so much I ordered 2 more pairs. I also have very wide feet, so ordered the widest (2E) and they feel great.

Best walking shoe I ever had. I walk everyday and have a lot feet problems these make it possible to walk in comfort. I would get 1/2 longer then would normally wear.

Great shoe. I am a nurse, on my feet all day, and have trouble with one foot over pronating. These, although pricey, were my solution. Comfortable with the gel, yet firm enough support to keep me aligned and out of pain.

Fantastic leather walking shoe unbelievably comfortable for my wide foot and need for roomy toe box. Need to return for one size larger. Can't wait to walk in comfort!

Love these! This is the second pair - one to keep at work and one for home. I have very wide feet and it's difficult to find shoes that fit. These do and are wearable right out of the box. I took a new pair to Paris and walked the city for a week without so much as a blister. Good shoe, good service - yay Zappos.

I've been wearing Asics running shoes on a normal basis for the past 10 years because I've had shin pain a lot (even though I quit running). II needed white shoes that don't have much mesh suitable for nursing school and that provide enough support for my over-pronation. These have been wonderful! I've been able to work 40 hours/week. I still have some pain and soreness, but I think these shoes reduce it a lot. I usually wear 7.5 in running asics shoes. I ordered both 7.5 and 7.5Wide. I kept the wide because the regular squeezed my toes.

I love these shoes! My feet never hurt when I walked around disney world for hours. I highly recommend. I will buy another pair when these wear out.

Asics never fail me. They have a great arch, they are comfortable and there is no break in time needed. Highly recommend.

I wear these everyday and they are so comfortable. I wear a 8-1/2 WW and they were a perfect fit. I have wide feet due to a surgery and they fit the bill as they are wide in the toe box and have plenty of cushion. I was having trouble with my heels and these have totally fixed the problem.

I ordered these for a special event where I needed comfortable black shoes. Even though they were new, they were very very comfortable on the first day of my trip. True to size and wonderfully supportive! :)

This is my second pair of these shoes! They have awesome support as I am on my feet as a nurse sometimes 12 hr shifts. I have flat feet and this is the best shoe I have ever had. THanks! Don't quit making these, Please!

I was hesitant at first to order a new pair of Asics to take on my trip to Asia. Sometimes new shoes can be cruel especially if you plan to walk for miles and need to depend on your walkers. Well, let me tell you that I absolutely love these shoes. They were the perfect choice and did not disappoint. I take a 9½ and they fit me fine. They provide good arch support.

I couldn't find what I was looking for at stores. They all have the same answer in two weeks. My husband had ordered shoes that he couldn't find either so he ordered from Zappos and received the same week. I got mine on time too. Love doing business with Zappos!

Needed a supportive shoe to wear with jeans at my retail job, on my feet 6-10 hours/day running up and down stairs as well. These shoes are fine, and go with everything! My narrow feet feel good at the end of the day.

Just received these in the mail and now I can't wait to hit the streets and the parks to start my walking regime. They feel wonderful on my feet. I'm glad I went half size larger as recommended by others. I may order another pair of this brand soon. THANK YOU SO MUCH ZAPPOS!

I needed decent walking shoes and this pair fits the bill. They're pretty comfortable straight out of the box and my feet don't get overly tired on long walks with them. They did feel a bit narrow and my pinkie toes rubbed a bit at first, but they're fine now.

I just opened the box and slipped these shoes on and I am in heaven! My feet feel the best they have felt in a long time. I wear a size 11.5 WW in athletic wear and I always feel like big foot. Well...not anymore. This shoe actually makes my foot look small! I love them.

A great shoe! Required to wear all-white shoes at work and these have great overall support. My orthotics fit well inside the shoe - insole comes out if needed.

These are comfortable as can be - I had foot surgery and since then could not find walking shoes that felt good on that foot. I bought these 1/2 size larger than what I usually buy, and they are so great - can wear them all day.

These are very comfortable shoes. I tried on 3 other pairs before I found these. I have a heel spur that is miserable but I can walk in these all day.

I walk about 4.5 miles everyday and need a shoes that provides excellent arch support. I detest wearing white shoes, so it is nice to find what I need in black. This recent model is not solid black as before but the amount of silver is not obnoxious. I hope the manufacture continues to keep the black color and model in production. I also use these shoes when on vacation and I'm expecting to do a lot of walking while sightseeing.

I love this shoe. I work 12-14 hrs days and my feet do not hurt when I leave. I wear custom orthotics, so the arch support is neutral for me.

These are by far the best Asics Gels that I have owned. I have also worn a high end New Balance. None of which compare to this walker. I am in my 60's and do a lot of exercise and walking therefore need an excellent stable shoe. I wear them many hours everyday. Previously wore an Asics running shoe, these are much better for my application. So good, I just bought a pair for my husband.

I love these shoes. I stand for long periods of time at work and these shoes are so comfortable. I have recommended them to my co-workers. I will be ordering another pair to be my exercise shoes as well. I wear a size 6 in most shoes and a size 6 fits great in these shoes. I highly recommend them.
