Super comfortable shoes! I love how easy these shoes are to slip-on and they are so lightweight. However, I have really high arches and there's not a ton of arch support.

I was looking for a casual, everyday tennis shoe to wear running errands and these fit the bill perfectly! I purchased the gray/coral and they look exactly as pictured and fit true to size. I was, however, totally disappointed with the insert that came with them but it's nice that it is removable. I replaced it with a gel insert and now these are one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned! If the insert they came with was better I would definitely give these 5 stars! I actually purchased a different color that was on sale on a different site because I loved these so much!

Loved the shoes. They are very light weight. I have to say they don't last too long if you wear them daily. After a couple months I had a small hole where the pinky toe. The material is thin.

I have wide feet with high arches. Asics is my go-to brand. I bought these shoes for easy, cute shoes for walking the dog and running errands. They work great, feel comfortable. As expected, the sole is much thinner than running shoes, however I was disappointed to find there was no arch support built-in. I added inserts and the shoes work great.

I love these shoes. I got them because I wanted something lightweight and cute to wear for indoor workouts at the gym. They do run pretty snug on my feet, which tend to be a bit wide. I wear them with little sock liners instead of regular socks though, and it works fine. There is no tongue on the shoe and I feel like the laces are more decorative than anything. But still, I am really happy with these shoes.

Cute shoe but very narrow in the toe box. For people with wide feet like me, I suggest ordering a size up.

I ordered the black/pink pair and the gray/green pair. They are adorable in person and the colors seem true to what's shown. My main issue is they were so small I couldn't even get my foot in them. I normally wear 9.5 in most sneakers- including Asics, so I was surprised they ran so small. They are cute and the material seems good quality. The colors are vivid. There doesn't appear to be any arch support. If you have high arches and a high instep like me please keep that in mind when picking a size and planning to add an insert. You will probably need to order a full size up. I still might order them again in the future, but for now they are going back.

Love these, super light & cute, not a ton of support but there is just enough room for a thin insert. Probably not the best shoe for a wide foot, but look cute with almost anything, including scrubs. Love the neon.

These are the most comfortable sneakers that I have ever had on my very fussy feet! They are light as air but supportive and wonderful to walk in. They are great for daily running around. They look nice!

I am a typical B width and this style was way too tight across my arch. I do have a moderately high arch. I believe it is the one piece upper design, where the tongue is not a separate piece (free moving), that is the issue for me. It was difficult just to get the shoe on. Once on, the shoe had very little arch support. The toe box was not as wide as I would like but it didn't squeeze my toes. All in all not a good shoe for me. I would not recommend for anyone with high arches.

Too narrow for anyone with a wide foot or higher arch. The tongue of the shoe is sewn down which makes it almost impossible for you to get your foot in. Cute in style, not in function.

I found the ASICS Metrolyte to be very cute but with almost no support, more like bedroom slippers than outdoor shoes. The inner sole is memory foam which flattens down when you wear them, so there is almost no arch support. The outside is thin nylon which looks like it would wear out quickly. I returned them.

I absolutely loved these shoes, but the fact that the tongue is attached made them hard to get on and hard to adjust for a good fit. Too bad, they have to go back.

Very attractive shoe, but not what I expected. They are really difficult to put on. Almost like a wet suit. I take my shoes on and off too often during the day for these to be practical.

The yellow/grey combo makes the yellow look like banana yellow which didn’t work for me.

Love them! Hate them!
Not quite sure how I feel about these shoes. Bought to replace worn out Asic walking shoe. They are so light-love it! Size wise is a little off and I have dragged my toes a bit-yes that is odd, but the fit is odd-for me. The foot opening is VERY low-I wore regular low cut sock and quite a bit was showing over the top. I have low cut smart wools that work better. I think these will look good w/jeans and shorts. I have used them for walking 4+ miles and they are comfortable. I did put a heel insert in for a little more padding, as there is basically no support. I also adjust the lace tie ups frequently and the laces are far too long. I step on them, so need to double tie, or will have to cut them off. I guess I like them I don't love them.

These shoes are cute, however, these appear designed more for commuter walking rather than extensive walking. I wore them for a 5k walk and on another day wore them to walk to work (1.7 miles each way). After the 5k, the shoes were a bit uncomfortable as they don't provide much foot support. However, they work well for a commuter - the shoes aren't bulky, so they can be easily stored or carried, they are light and they have just enough structure (barely) for a walk home. I do not recommend them for extensive walking (all day on the street), for people who need arch support, or for people who need ankle support.

The design of these shoes are so cut but unfortunately the sole is very narrow! I have narrow feet but the sides of my feet seemed to bulge over the sole making them uncomfortable to walk in.

As the name suggests, these shoes are ultra lightweight. The overall material is not what I'm accustomed to... a little springy and almost foam-like. But the are very comfortable. If you're looking for a weightless athletic shoe with the usual Asics support, you'll be happy with this shoe.

I bought these as a replacement for my beloved Gel Fit Sanas. Wish I had ignored my urge to try something different! I like the look of them, but they aren't nearly as comfortable. I just wore them on a short walk and my heels and arches feel tired. If you're looking for a low profile, light weight training shoe, I'd go with the Gel Fit Sanas instead.

It's a shame, as other said, they are really cute but, the design is poor. The tongue rubs on the top of your toes and they are also pretty narrow. Have to return

I like how these look and wanted something for serious weight training almost daily. They're a little too squishy for that, and the tongue is attached so it took some getting used to in order to get them on.

This shoe is light and comfortable, as described, but for me it is so difficult to get on that I plan to give them away. Once they're on, they're okay, but getting them on is a struggle. I need a shoe horn. (Yes, that's how old I am.)

Cute style, nice and light for running errands. Not a workout or running shoe. Was hoping they would be great for travel but they seem flimsy to me. I don't think they'll hold up to my walking on a European vacation.
