Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Sendai™ 2

I haven't had these shoes for long, but they seem to be holding up well with frequent wearing. I typically wear a 10 narrow or 9.5 medium width. I read to order UP a size, so since these didn't come in narrow, I ordered a 10 medium. They're a little bit too long. Good support and I've received lots of compliments on them. Overall, I like these shoes!

These are great shoes. Great cushion on heel and toe. I really like them for step aerobics. I wear 9.5 to 10.5 in shoes, but often 10 to 10.5 in tennis shoes. I needed a 10.5 in these shoes.

I love my new Asics. They fit me perfect. Great price, worth every penny. I get lots of compliments when I wear them out.

These are beautiful, bright pink and well-made. I ordered half a size up. They fit great. They have springy heels, that are good for my knees.

The colors are amazing in these shoes. I wear an 8½ in most shoes and often have to size up to 9 for workout shoes. These are the perfect length in 8½. However, the shoes are really wide. I have never needed narrow shoes. I was able to tighten the shoelaces enough to compensate, but just know that these are wide shoes. I do a lot of high-impact cardio and these shoes have been comfortable and supportive. These were my first Asics shoes; I usually buy New Balance but I have not been happy with their new lines. This is a great replacement.

I really like these shoes! They are comfortable and have some arch support. I ordered 1/2 size larger to give my feet a little room.

For fear of oversharing, I will simply say that I have a low volume foot - narrow heel, wide forefoot and medium arch. I normally wear an 8½ in running shoes. The 8½ in this shoe was too wide and a bit long. The 8 was too short but fit width wise. Perfect arch support. And, Asics, if you are listening? Enough of the pink and mint and turquoise shoes for women! Enough already! You got it right with the Kayano. Please offer the rest of us some adult colors, too.

I usually need an overpronator shoe, and this one says it is, but it still makes my foot sore (also with custom orthotics). I got this because they did not have a really cute keyano, but I should have probably stuck with a strict overpronator shoe.

Overall great comfort and support...the toe box is rather tight though...thinking about going up a half size to see if that helps any.

I've been a runner since I was a kid. I ran track in college, and have continued to run races as an adult--road/trail, 5k, 10k, 1/2 and full marathons. I started with Adidas, but switched to Asics as my go to brand about 15 years ago. Regrettably, the last two pairs of Asics I have purchased broke down in a matter of weeks, including this pair. I bought these for a half Ironman distance (13.1 on the run), but when I used them for a couple of long training runs before the race, I knew that they weren't going to cut it race day. The toe box was rubbing against my pinkie toe, and more recently, the inner cushion has been breaking down. I average about 15-20 miles per week, but the Asics aren't holding up lately. I'm hoping that these two pairs were a fluke and the brand is not losing its quality construction. I will likely purchase one last pair of Asics in the next month or so, and if I have any issues, it will be back to Adidas or Newton.

This shoe (I had the blue/green version) is really attractive and very comfortable but the heel squeaks every time I walk, with every step. It drove me mad! So they got returned. These shoes cost way too much to be walking around and squeaking everywhere I go.

Much more stiff in the toebox than any of the other Asics that I have owned (including the Kayano, Kinsei and Nimbus). I keep hoping they will break in more, but most Asics are great right out of the box.

I don't love these shoes. The front sole is really wide and extends beyond the shoe (if that makes sense) and it makes it clumsy and hard to balance when doing floor work. I like them so-so for running. I'm going back to my brooks ghost next purchase. I used to wear Asics, switched to Brooks and then thought I'd try Asics again but this pair did not work for me.

Still trying to replace my Cumulus 15. None of Asics new designs are working. They are just uncomfortable out of the box. Smaller toe box. Narrower. These were okay out of the box so I kept them. Not what I'd hoped as far as comfort and cushion, but I wore them. After 2 months casual wear, they are done. Wearing them for even an hour around the house hurts my feet and knees. Extremely disappointed with Asics. Will find a new brand after years of loyalty.

These are too narrow in the forefoot and they made my feet go numb. I had to return them, unfortunately after trying them out for one day. They do not bend. They are the stiffest shoes that I have ever put on my feet. They are so stiff that they made my ankles hurt after walking one mile on the treadmill, let alone try to even run in them. The sole needs to be softer! They are much heavier than the Gel Nimbus.
