I love, love, love these shoes. I don't run a lot (about 6-8 miles/week), but when I do, these shoes are perfect and make me actually enjoy the experience. Plus, the colors are really fun.

I like these sneakers very much. I could wear them to work and not have a problem for 12 1/2 hours. I do wish the sole had a little more cushion in it. Would be terrific. Have 2 pair. Work well for me.

I wear these as a nurse doing twelve hour shifts. Super comfy, lots of support and my feet don't hurt at the end. Love them.

This is my third pair of Asics shoes and I'm as pleased with these as I was with the others. They took a couple of days to break in, but now they are very comfortable.

I love these shoes! Ever since I started running, I have been wearing Asics. I have always worn a size 6 and still had a little breathing room. These ran about half a size too small, and my toe touched the very end of the shoe. Hopefully, they still have half a size up in stock because these are just as good looking in person as they are in the picture.

Love my new Asics! They were comfortable the first timeI put on and still are! Got the wide width and they are snug at the back off foot, which is great!! Finally found shoes that are comfortable!

I bought these sneakers about a month ago to wear to the gym and am very happy with them. They are nice looking (I got the purple and blue ones) and don't make my feet look too huge even though I wear a large size. Normally, I get an 11 wide, but I found I needed an 11.5 for these. They're very comfortable and fit my orthotic inserts easily.

I have started walking again. Over the years I have destroyed my knees so I need comfortable shoes that absorb pavement pounding.I just found them! I love these shoes. There was no "breaking in" needed. Fit and comfort level are superb.

Wonderful! After trying on nearly 50+ pairs of sneakers, these actually fit. Perfect for a wide foot and pronating arches...and stylish enough my kid will want to wear every day. Worth every penny.

I saw this shoe at DSW but they didn't have a wide. I found it at Zappos and it was even cheaper with no shipping! I am extremely happy.

I love my shoes!
I bought them specifically for gym workouts. Weights, cardio, and Zumba.
I find them very comfortable for weights and cardio with decent arch support.
They are not good for Zumba classes however. They are too heavy and cumbersome.
I work out 5 to 7 days per week.
Note: They run small. I ordered a half size larger than what I wear and they are a perfect fit.

The thing I like most about these shoes is that there is not excessive padding on the top of the shoe behind my heel (in the Achilles area). I find that many shoes have too much padding in that area. These are perfect!

Everything was as expected except I would have liked the mesh in the toe of the sneaker to have a little tighter support. I like a snug fit. Otherwise, comfortable no slip and good looking running shoe.

The winner of the 5 different Asics I ordered to try! Comfortable and well-built. Available in a wide and more comfortable than the Nimbus 15 in my opinion. My foot that my arch bothers me did feel it after a 45 minute walk, so definitely not the best arch support out there, but satisfied with them nonetheless.

This is the first pair of asics I bought was unsure of the comfort before buying. I am very happy with them they are very comfortable. I will continue to buy more pairs.

I am usually a 6 but the 6 was a little too big so I returned for 5.5 which is perfect. I like the look of the shoe and I haven't had any problems with it so far!

Yes, I love Zappos! Their return policy for shoes entices me to order from them, although, I seldom have had to use it. Good prices and quick delivery.

Loved the look of this shoe. The colors were gorgeous and the shoe looks great on. Unfortunately, it runs a little small and felt too tight on my instep so I had to return them. Trying a different Asics gel style. Love Asics and love Zappos!

This shoe is great. If I'm being honest, I don't think it's a cute shoe but it's incredibly comfortable. The price was great as well. I'm a newish runner, so I didn't want to jump right in a buy the price for this pair of shoes. These fit the bill. I have pretty flat feet and roll my ankles a lot. These give me great support and hold my feet in place. Definitely would recommend.

I have been buying Asics for years, and so when I saw these on sale, I grabbed them. I just loved the colors! I find these shoes to fit differently that the other Asics models I have purchased. The arch is not as good as the other models I have, and they are a bit more narrow. I exchanged for a half size up, but it was too large. I decided to keep the first pair and wear them with a thin sock. I will use them for walking, but don't feel they give me enough support for running. I am hoping they will fit better as they stretch out.
