I purchased these for supination / road running, and I love them. They definitely run small. I normally wear an 8, but based on what was being said in the reviews, I decided to go with the 8.5. I have an older pair of Asics Gel Nimbus 14 that are for under pronation, and the size 8 fits perfectly, but the Gel-Excite 4 are lighter and easier to run in. So I suppose the Gel Nimbus will be my "walking" shoes. I think a lot of people are not aware that you have to buy shoes based on the shape of your feet, not on cute colors. If you look at the bottom of yours shoes, and most of the wear is on the inside (arch), that is overpronation. (Your feet roll inwards). If you are an under pronator, then most of the wear will be along the outsides of your shoes because you roll your feet outward at the ankles when you run and / or walk.

Very little arch support!!!! Yay I truly have a flat foot! The one pair in a million of shoes, I tried on that doesn’t feel like I am walking on rocks. I am in love with these shoes.. no not a fallen arch, no arch. Yes it is possible. I love the comfiness of these these shoes. I can wear them all day without my feet aching. If you need support in arch, I do not recommend these. But for me with no arch and wide feet. These are the only shoes for me. I have not found a better fit. I have gone years without being able to find sneakers. So thankful for these.

The first time I wore these to my workout class, they were great!! They support my foot while in motion and were not tight or uncomfortable at all. Asics have always been the best for my narrow feet! I love these shoes and the color as well!!

I got these shoes for exercising. They are comfortable and seemed to have hold up well. The colors are brighter than I expected. I ordered the wide size because some Asics can be narrow.

I bought these for my daughter and she is very pleased. They are cute, comfortable, and seem like they will be very durable. I am planning to order a pair for myself as well. Asics have always been my go-to tennis shoe brand!

I only wear Asics, and for the price, these are a great pair of shoes. I use them for moderate running and walking. I also wear orthodics that fit in nicely.

Very comfortable shoes. They are a little narrow so I ordered my regular size 9 in wide and they fit fine. They feel supportive. Love the colors.

I thought these would be too bright but I think they are just bright/fun enough! Very comfy and true to size. I have almost flat feet and these have been really great for me.

These shoes run a little short compared to other ASICS models I have. I reordered them a 1/2 size larger and they are perfect. They are not for long mileage runs, but are great for short distances.

Asics usually run small so I wear a 9 versus other brands I'm an 8-8.5. These are super comfortable as well. They didn't even hurt to break in either

I've run in this shoe twice now and I like it. It's a great solution for a new running shoe at a great price point. I had been buying the $120 Gel Kayanos for a while, but since I only run 2-3 miles at a time, this shoe works great for me.

I am an avid Asics buyer. Their shoes NEVER disappointment me. They provide the comfort and support I need. They have proved to be versatile; they are ideal for walking/running and cross training. Asics are known for their durability. They tend to last a lot longer than other brand i've tried. Would highly recommend!

This is my 4th pair of Asics shoes! I order a half size larger than normal to fit my foot brace. The insole comes out, my orthotic fits right in. These are so comfortable and colorful. Great to brighten up my life on a walker!! Kansas Jayhawk Fan

Good quality, comfortable running shoe. I have owned several pairs of Asics running shoes in the past, I found this one to run both smaller and narrower than other models. I typically wear a 7.5 medium in Asics shoes, however I needed an 8 wide in this shoe.

I have purchased Asics for many years. I normally pay roughly $110 for them. I wasn't sure about these due to the price, and could not really see what the difference was but I loved the brand so bought them anyway. I loved them! the fit is awesome and they are lightweight. I have received many compliments and again, due to the price I purchased a second pair so when the first ones wear out, I have another pair.

I wanted to love these shoes as I am a big Asics fan. The toe box felt smaller than usual and caused pinching in my toes. Sadly both pairs of the same shoe will be going back. Zappos was great about accepting my return even though I had worn these 2-3 times. What a great company! Thanks to Jillian in C/Service - she was awesome!

I'm very pleased with Zappo's and with Asics gel excite 4 shoes. They are for those who need a neutral shoe with no pronation. The insole slips out easily so I can fit my orthodic in. I was very surprised how easy it was to order from Zappo's with next day free shipping. ??
