Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Exalt™ 3

Ordered these shoes with high hopes, but I had to return them because the toe box was too tight. The arch support felt excellent though, and they were super cute.

I bought these shoes because they had great reviews. So far, I'm a little disappointed in their fit. I usually wear a size 8 and order a half size bigger because I like extra room in the toe box. These shoes fit like an 8. I'm on my feet for 12 hour shifts and need a comfortable shoe.

I love the look and feel of these shoes, and they seem to run true to the size of other Asics I've owned. Unfortunately, after less than six weeks of wearing these a few times a week, the purple fabric has started to fray off around the ankle and my toe has worn a hole through the top. Not happy about the longevity of this shoe! :(

Is it possible to have TOO much arch support? These push up so much on the bottom of my foot that it felt like the circulation was cut off. They also started squeaking after a few wearings. Other than that, they fit great and look nice.

less cushioning in the ball of the foot compared to GT 1000

These were very cushy out of the box, but the footbed was so painful I had to return them. There are ridges along the outer edges that dug into my nerves and caused my outer two toes to go numb. A narrower foot might be more comfortable, but these were unbearably painful for my medium feet.

Minimal cushioning in the footbed. Not what I was looking for.

These are comfortable shoes. They just ran narrower through the ball of the foot. Asics needs to increase the width or carry more wide shoes in general. They shrink in width every year.

I always buy similarly styled Asics that are in the 120 dollar range. There is a lot less padding and comfort in this cheaper shoe. If you have arthritis, the more expensive Asics are worth the money over these. Very cute, but not for those with serious foot issues.

Two pair arrived with what appeared to be ink splatter on the inside soles; clearly a manufacturing glitch by Asics. Purchased these shoes as they were highly rated for heel pain, but did not find them any better than any other shoe I've had in that they work well with an inserted orthotic.

I was thrilled when these shoes arrived. I love the look, feel, and fit. I want to love them, BUT there is a problem - I have been wearing them lightly for a few weeks and there is already a hole in top toe area, because the mesh is not sturdy enough. This came for light wear and no trauma to the shoe. In fact, the rest of the shoe still looks brand new, yet, I have a hole where my toe peeps through. When I spend good $ on a running shoe, I expect it to last more than several weeks!!

After LENGTHY online research and trying on many shoes at local stores I settled on these. Since there is no longer a shoe category for we who do Jazzercise/Dance/Aerobic exercise, it's a crap shoot to get what we need-firm heel & lateral support.These are long from heel to across the base of the toes, so short from there to tend of toes.

Awful, awful, awful! I've been a loyal Asics customer for years and I just don't know what happened with these shoes! Maybe I got a dud pair?? I've never been disappointed with any of my Asics shoe purchases before. There is no cushioning whatsoever. These shoes feel like you are running on concrete slabs. I've worn them twice so I can't return them, and after wearing them just two times the bottom of my feet feel bruised. Really regret this decision. Total waste of money for me.

I purchased these based on reviews and ratings for overpronation support , and an extremely disappointed. These are one of the most uncomfortable pairs of shoes I've ever worn. Good toe room but literally feels like walking on concrete. I do not recommend this product. Spend a little more and get true comfort. Wish I could return them but have already worn them

I ordered my usual athletic sized shoe even though many reviews said to order a size up and I'm glad I did because the size was perfect. The style was cute too. But, just having these shoes on made my feet hurt. They were clunky, very hard soled, and the soles had a weird angle where the outside of the shoe sloped into the arch but the toes angled up. These were the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever tried on. I returned them right away and will go back to Nike brand.
