I bought these shoes to wear as a nurse. They looked great out of the box. I ordered a wide width was was fine. I am returning them due to the high arch support. It just didn't feel comfortable. Otherwise they were great.

Finally! I used to be able to wear Asics sneakers with no problem. But they've seemingly started making the shoes smaller/narrower (I thought maybe my feet were getting bigger but running magazines seem to say the same thing and those guys change shoes every few months!) - but luckily, this is an Asics gel shoe for underpronators (bottom of foot bends toward midline) that comes in "wide" widths - this meant that I ordered a 9-W (normal shoe size 8.5-M) and it fit! Slightly less comfy than my Asics of years ago, but totally workable. This shoe is also cute, with good padding particularly around the heel.

Large toe box, I have small feet and I have a little wiggle room, it's dreamy. They are great for my work out videos with stability and gripping the floor. They are comfortable. The back of the shoe is great with the large string to help put on without bending the back of the shoe. I love them.

These shoe are fit my feet perfect and I can run for miles without sore feet. They are a bit wider across the toes and have a higher arch then other shoes.

I love these shoes. Asics are very reliable to begin with, but this style specifically had the best support and lasted the longest. When my old ones finally needed to be replaced, I bought the exact pair from Zappos and they had many available colors. They are my fave!

These shoes are very comfortable right out of the box. They fit me perfectly and work well with my orthotics. I really love these shoes. I have wide forefoot, high arch, narrow heel, use orthotics and on my feet as a nurse for 12 hours at a time. My feet are very particular.
It's been years since I wore Asics. Since New Balance was working so well for me, I didn't try anything else. However, NB haven't been so comfortable this last go around. I thought these were attractive first of all, (carbon, diva pink, bay) I kept them because they work so well. And they were so inexpensive it made me nervous! They're great, I want to get other colors if they get them in my size.

Super comfortable shoes and no need to break them in. I wear these for both workouts and everyday walking around the city. I ordered 1/2 size up to account for thick socks.

I have worn Asics for years and this particular style gel-venture has served me well. I do several miles every day and love the support these shoes give me.

Just purchased my third pair of Asics. Love them. Always comfortable and hold up well. I wear a size 9 in regular shoes and 9.5 in these, which is perfect

I have bigger feet, so it is hard for me to find shoes in the store. Here I can always find some in my size, though the color was not my first choice. Very comfortable right out of the box.

At first I found the insole stiff, but after about an hour they molded to my feet and were quite comfortable. Theat was all the breaking in they needed. The toe box is a little wider than I expected, but not so much I want to return them. Good traction on slippery surfaces.

These were comfortable right out of the box. The wide width is great. Wore them on a long walk and then all day long and they felt wonderful. I used to wear the gel kayano but they now make them too narrow in the toe box, even in the wide width.
