Very comfortable from day 1! They fit very well. Great for my Crossfit training. The shoe is lightweight and fit well with thick or thin socks.

These shoes are great! I am in my 20's and have problems with over pronating, but most of the stability shoes out there are so bulky looking and not cute. This shoe is great because it has good support, but you can also take out the insoles and put in your own insoles for extra support (which is what I did). It's a lightweight and stylish sneaker that also satisfies my needs for support.

These are the best shoes, right out of the box, that I have ever bough. They are light, provide the perfect support, and are comfortable for the entire workout.

I have had a hard time finding a comfortable crosstrainer but this shoe is so comfortable and supportive but lightweight. A tad too black. I would put berry colored laces on it, but very comfy shoe!

I must say that I am quite pleased with these shoes! I read all the reviews and because this shoe received good ratings, I took other reviewers' words for it--thank you all! I have been looking for shoes to play indoor volleyball with--I've tried Nike "volleyball" shoes (indoor court) but my toes got blisters after 1 game because of how tight the toe box was, and I have small feet --I wear 5.5 medium and am 4'11 (and yes I play volleyball). I had also tried using my Pegasus Nike shoes which are great for running but should not be used as indoor court shoes (I sprained my ankle twice, but I also should have known better). My left foot is slightly probated and I do a lot of pivoting and quick power movements, and these Gel-Craze shoes provide support in the right places, and does not cut or chafe my heel or ankle at any point. These shoes were worth my money. Thank you Asics, and thank you Zappos!

Wanted a shoe that was comfortable and stabilizing for squats and lifting. This shoe fills the bill perfectly. The shape is flattering. I would definitely buy again.

Amazing. I am actually thinking about purchasing a second pair, just to have them for when these wear out! I have knee problems and was looking for a stabilizing shoe, and after trying others that hurt my feet, I found these online. I work out daily in a gym and these have made a huge difference.

I have the Gel-Craze TR 2 and really like them. The Gel-Craze TR 3 feels a little wider in the front and not quite as supportive side to side. But I like them and am keeping them. I keep trying other brands but always end up keeping the Asics. The quality and support for cardio sculpt, kick box, and cross training are great.

The past 4 or 5 pairs of workout shoes that I've purchased have been the Ryka brand. That brand, however, has had inconsistent sizing of late, so I decided to go with a brand I had previously used - Asics. These shoes are so comfortable right out of the box. For high intensity, low impact (or even high impact) workouts these shoes are for you! You will get the cushioning, the lateral movement support, and the flexibility of the sole. Not to mention, they are lightweight! Go with the Asics Gel-Craze and you won't be sorry.

I love the color and the style of these shoes. They are relatively comfortable but I have a high arch so I have to wear inserts in order for these to be perfect.

I own a previous version of this shoe. I liked the fit well enough to order the Gel - Craze TR 3. It's such an improvement to cushion & comfort. I wear these for gym classes, and have no need for a running shoe there! Great grip on floors. Enough room in toe box. The charcoal & blue combination is great! Would buy this shoe again!

I am a huge fan of Asics, these shoes are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. I bought them for Zumba, Cardio Kickboxing and Body Sculpt, because of the support (my gait pattern is underpronate) and cushioning and they are fantastic. I have had many issues with other shoe brands. Asics are by far my go to shoe now. I started with the Gel 2 and wanted to try the Gel 3 to see what improvements - changes they made. I am very pleased with this model even better than the 2. I normally wear an 8½ but purchased the 9 and they are perfect.

Love the way these feel and look. I have a narrow foot and these fit great, had to order 1/2 size larger than I usually wear. Lightweight and flexible also.

I am so glad that I bought these sneakers. The fit is great. They provide lots of support for all types of fitness classes (I like boot camp myself), and very little break in time needed. These might be the best workout shoes that I have ever had.

Bought this shoe for Jazzercise. It is not as well padded or comfortable as a previous Asics shoe I was using (now discontinued), but it works well enough that I decided to keep it. The main thing I wanted to comment on is size. I wear a 7 Narrow in most shoes, but usually need a 7 1/2 Medium in my walking and cross training sneakers (Nike, New Balance, Easy Spirit). However, my old Asics sneaker was a size 7 and fit well, so despite many reviewers commenting that the shoe ran small, I ordered a 7. Happily, I made the right choice. A larger sneaker would definitely be too big.

These feel stable for weight lifting as opposed to my other asics that have the gel sole. They don't have enough cushioning for activities like aerobics or HIIT training.

I bought these to replace my Gel Exert TR, which doesn't seem to exist anymore. They look extremely similar, and as I've been comfortably wearing those for daily high intensity workouts for 11 months. The Exert TRs were cushy. Unfortunately, these were not. If I pressed down on the insides, I could immediately feel how much firmer the Gel Craze TRs are. I am not sure if some people prefer a firm shoe, the way some prefer a firm mattress. Anyway, I felt it would not be comfortable for me.
I love Asics for running shoes - especially the Gel-Cumulus - and I just wish their branding was more consistent on the studio/aerobic shoe side.

I have always bought Asics and size 10 has alway fit me but these run a tad bit small. I just ordered a half size up so I am hoping it will work out. Otherwise they are comfy and have good support and they are really nice looking shoes!

While it did not seem to be the most cushioned shoe out of the box, I've found that it has become more and more comfortable the more I walk in them. The toe box is wide enough and the heel snug enough. The colors are much better than the usual Asics over-the-top looks, and go with black both black and blue jeans.

This is my third pair of ASICS Gel-Craze TR3. I wear them 4-5 times a week for Jazzercise. I was fitted for them as I have narrow feet and they are a good cross-training shoe. That said, this most recent pair is not as comfortable as the previous two. It is wider at the top of the foot, and rougher, with the result that I slide around more and the side of my foot feels as if it's rubbing up against cardboard. Strange. I purchased yet another pair in a different color and confronted the same problem. It's not a matter of breaking in the shoe, or of lacing it properly. The fit is different. Maybe my feet have shrunk? Unlikely. I'll have to look for a new shoe.

The shoes looks good if you want a fashion shoe. I did not find it comfortable enough for a running shoe. It did not have enough support or cushion. I ended up with the Brooks Adrenaline and I love them.

These trainers are very comfortable for general walking around. I'm a power walker/slow runner. My feet don't get enough cushion with these. I feel they will be temporary until I find another trainer for my arthritic feet.

They so cute and light but run VERY small. Even a full size larger was snug.

Unfortunately these didn't work for me at all and now I'm too afraid to try again with a bigger size. The issue I had was not for just walking in them - they felt great. But once I started running my feet hurt, semi went to sleep, and two days later I'm cramping. I'm too afraid they just won't work for my feet so I'm not attempting a bigger size.
