Very comfortable insole, but the wide wasn't very wide at all. The toe box was extremely narrow in a wide size.

Nice color on these shoes, but runs narrow. I ordered a 6 wide and its more like a 6 narrow or medium. If you have a wide foot these are not for you

Unfortunately these shoes do not have the soft step that the newer Gel Excite 7 and up have. I had to return them.

I don't know what has happened (except these shoes are now made in Indonesia instead of China, I noticed), but these are the VERY SAME shoes, exact same shoes, that I have bought twice in the past. This new pair is WAY tighter. It was very painful to even try them on. I could tell just by looking at them that they were narrower. What??!! They are being returned and I'm going to try a couple of different brands.

Style is nice, but the shoe is small and narrow. I usually wear a 9M but get 9 1/2 M in most sneakers. I ordered 9 !/2 M, but it was barely long enough and very tight.

This is my 3rd pair of these exact shoes and Asics must have changed the manufacturer because this pair feels nothing like the last two! I ordered the same size and the wide width (D) and this pair is significantly narrower than the other pairs I had. In fact, I compared it to other styles of Asics I have in medium width and this pair is more narrow than those! I have to completely open up the laces in order to wear this pair, which leaves almost no lace to tie the shoe. This shoe is comfortable, but if you have even minimally wide feet DO NOT ORDER!

I really wanted to like this shoe. I've always had good luck with Asics but this was a huge disappointment. I realized it wasn't the top of the line, but I didn't think it would feel so cheap. There was zero arch support, the cushion bed felt like a generic shoe from Target or Walmart. Huge disappointment. I'll give Asics one more shot, but may have to switch brands.

I've had these for about six months now and I really regret the purchase. Unfortunately, it took me a bit to realize how terrible they were, otherwise I would have returned them. My main issue is with the arch support. I've had other Asics in the past and have loved them, but this style has virtually no arch support. I bought inserts to help, but they feel weird and move around and I swear they have contributed to some of my periodic body aches and pains. I wear these shoes about 2-3x per week for a cardio class and light runs (3 miles or so). I hesitate to do more in them for fear of messing up my body.

I'll preface my comments acknowledging these shoes are at the lower end of price points but still disappointing. I've worn Asics brand for over 20 years and never had an issue. The issue with these shoes is the removable insole is too slippery and does not stay in place. My heels were starting to get irritated by the insole sliding higher and higher up the back of the shoe then my notes getting it from hanging over the front of the insole. I may try some glue to keep the insole in place but likely to end up using these to work in the garden or toss out.

I bought this shoe 2 months ago, and after a month of wear noticed a tear forming in the top of the shoe by the toe. The conditioned worsened and appeared on both shoes. The shoes were not over worn at all; therefore, I was appalled by the poor quality of this shoe.

Great fit and cushioning. Perfect for walking with my arthritic foot. Thanks Zappos for your patience while I ordered and returned, ordered and returned until I found the perfect fit.

ASICS is notoriously bad about having consistent sizing!!! I ordered one size and my left shoe was perfect in length but then my right shoe was too short. I ordered a half size up and now my right shoe is at minimum one full size to big!!! Left shoe is only 1/4 bigger. I’ve ordered a ton of shoes from ASICS and their sizing is all over the place and never consistent within the pairs.
