Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Tech Walker Neo® 4

I wear a 14-M, but these shoes run small (they were actually difficult to put on). I'm usually a NB devotee (primarily because of spacious toe box), but thought I'd give these a shot. Besides the "run small" evaluation, the toe box is Nike-shaped. Resembles a point rocket's nosecone. Too binding --- they get narrow very quickly forward of the ball of the foot. Extremely hard (almost steel-like) bottom later of sole --- unlike most walkers.

While these fit well they did not have much cushioning - much less than what I expect from Asics Gel shoes. The arch support was good, but simply not enough cushioning.

Although I ordered and received size 9 D shoes, these were much narrower than any D width shoe I've ever encountered. Have to return them.

After wearing these for a week I find them to be uncomfortable. For reasons unknown the right shoe caused discomfort and pain in my foot. I don't have foot pain normally. I bought these shoes hoping my feet wouldn't be as tired after walking 8 hours plus at theme parks. So far I can't make it through a normal work day. It almost felt that the shoe was forcing my foot to the ride the inner edge of the shoe. I tried 3 types of inserts (gel, memory foam, orthotic) to no avail. My left foot couldn't be happier. Of course after wearing them they can't be returned. Also, amputation isn't a viable option so it looks like I made an expensive mistake. Size 13 AAA men's foot.

These shoes look nice in the online pictures and they fit well, but I found the white reflective stripe on the front on each shoe very annoying. Whenever I would look down I felt like something got stuck on the top of the shoe. They might be desirable for night walking but in the office or day walking - no.

I've marked "excellent arch support" because they have a lot of arch support. However I also gave it a low rating because I can't imagine that anyone actually needs that kind of support. The shoe was jutting into my foot because the "arch support" on the very inside edge of the shoes is actually a mountain range and I can't imagine how other people can find these things comfortable. My feet were hurting after walking a mile. If you are missing the insides of your feet because of a freak firework accident when you were younger, buy these. If you actually have feet and want shoes that fit around your feet (not inside them), do not buy these. Also, the mesh is nice sometimes, but it's hard to clean mesh and if you wear these in the cold weather, it doesn't take much of a breeze to make your feet a bit cold. I can deal with that, though.

They are already worn out. I am 60+ year old man and walk and it took forever to get them broke in and then they wore out. Junk! A walking shoe that gave more blister than dress shoes I have broken in over the year. Only shoes that were worse were football spikes but at least they could be broke in and lasted the season. These last less that 4 months!

These are the worst shoes ever! They gave my husband his plantar fasciitis again and a bad customer service experience with Zappos. I probably will not purchase from them again.
