Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Flux 2

I have a slightly wider-than-normal front of foot, and very high arches, and I LOVE these shoes!!! The only other shoes that have been as comfortable as these are Nike Shox, which they don't make in mesh anymore :-(. These are a little stiff out of the box, and feel that way for a couple of days' of wear. They maintain a bit of stiffness after that, but I like that, as I feel like I'm walking in solid, albeit cool and VERY comfortable,(mesh!) shoes. For reference, the new, flat toe box style of Nikes don't fit me well, nor do New Balance, so if those are also uncomfortable to you, you might do well with these Asics.

I'm a recreational runner and huge fan of Asics running shoes. I've worn other models but needed a shoe with more arch support and mid-foot stability. These shoes fit the bill perfectly! It took a few runs to get used to the change but I'm totally sold on this shoe now. My only gripe is the colors - I hate pink but didn't have much of a choice since there are only 2 options. A few more less obnoxious color options would be great! This shoe is well worth the money.

These are my 2nd pair of gel-flux asics. Love them all over again. They have a wide toe box, which I'm having a harder and harder time finding even in asics. I've got a wide foot and want even wider in a running shoe. Zero breaking in period needed for me. I really wish they'd make some cuter colors.

I'm an underpronator & I've had issues with plantar faciitis. These shoes feel great and help with both issues. I did order both my normal sz 7 & a 7.5. Kept the 7.5, so you may need to try a larger than normal size. Overall very pleased.

I am an overpronator battling plantar fasciiatis. I was looking for a neutral shoe that I could put a bright pink Superfeet orthotic insert into (as per my podiatrist's recommentdation). This shoe is for underpronators to neutral feet. I felt that this shoe was forcing my foot to pronate inward and it just didn't feel comfortable to me. I ended up buying the Asics Gel Cumulus instead, as it seemed to be more of a neutral shoe. If you have a normal gait this might be a shoe worth trying. I always order my running shoes 1/2 size larger than what I wear in street shoes.

This shoe is a good value for the cost. I did replace the innersole with one with a little higher arch and padding for comfort, though I do that for most athletic shoes, including New Balance. I did find it a little narrow, but was able to adjust the laces and wear thinner socks to get the comfort I wanted. If you have narrow feet, they'll be just fine.

I had 4 pairs of various models at home to try, then ordered from Zappos because they were cheaper. I did find discrepancies in fit between the other styles, like I'd need a 9 in one shoe and 8 1/2 in another. I've worn Asics for over a dozen years and just recently discarded the first pair I owned -- all white, all leather. They are very durable and work well for Jazzercize classes.

I'm really liking these shoes. I average 10 to 15 miles per week. I have foot problems so I need the support with the cushion. This shoe also allows for some toe room. Not crazy about the way they look. But comfort trumps style.

I am a runner and I do about 20-30 miles a week. I have the previous version (Gel Flux) of this shoe. Absolutely love these. The offer great support with a higher arch. Very comfortable. I run these down to the ground.

Had 4 pair of shoes home comparing. walking around the house my feet got tired and achy in these quickly and when i put in my orthotic my heel started slipping out of the shoe. I was looking for a neutral shoe that would let my orthotic do any needed correcting, when i looked at these on my feet in the mirror they looked all wrong, like they were rolling my foot outward which was exactly what I don't want. The only color available for wide sizes is the ghastly pastels--I'd say even uglier in person. Since the only attractive feature turned out to be the price, these are going back.

I had these shoes for a month and absolutely adored them, but now I notice a part of the shoe has become detached! The seams that enclose the outer rim of the shoe to the breathable material at the front of the shoe has become undone. I am super disappointed that this happened but they are overall good shoes.

I thought I'd try an Asics shoe, as it had been years since I put one on my feet. I usually wear Saucony. This shoe is NOT for a wide foot or high instep. Toe box was cramped and even the D width wasn't wide enough for my foot. Having to return. If there was more room throughout the forefoot, this would probably be a good shoe, but not for me.

These have to be the worst Asics shoes that I have ever own, and I have been wearing Asics shoes for many years. I am a nurse and on my feet a lot. By the end of my shift my right heel is red and there is one round spot that hurts really bad. Then, on my days off, the pain slowly goes away so it is definitely the shoes.

If you're on your feet for any length of time, these are not the shoes for you. I work in a hospital and by the end of the day my feet ache like I've been wearing heels all day. Definitely lacking cushion and support.

I bought this pair of shoes for both fashion and performance. I was very disappointed when they arrived as they were very different than pictured on the website. The shoes on the website were black with coral and light blue trim and a black sole. The ones that I received were LIGHT GRAY with coral and blue trim and ORANGE soles. Very disappointed because I loved the ones pictured on the website.
