I am on my second pair because of the fantastic lateral and arch support but because of the support they are a little stiffer. Love these for trail running and hiking/walking. Only downside is they don't have great heal strike cushion so I have Asics Nimbus for street running. My street shoes are 9-9.5; Kahana 8 are 9.5 and they fit great.

I bought this shoe for walking around my ranch. Mostly sand & rock. Very comfortable right out of the box. I added Superfeet inserts for the perfect fit. I bought my usual Asics size 9 (street shoe size 8.5). I do use a medium thickness sock as I have narrow fee. This color combination hides dirt and dust as well. Love this shoe.

Love these sneakers. I use them for jogging, walking and home HIIT and Tabata workouts, They are very cushioned and stable. I have another pair of Asics in size 6.5 but after reading the reviews, I ordered these in a size 7 and they fit perfectly- enough toe room but no slipping. Very happy with my purchase.

Happy feet make for a happy day! We’ve been doing lots of walking through the neighborhood and surrounding areas. And a new pair of ASICS for a new season is just what Zappos delivered. The shoe is a perfect fit and supportive along the 5+ mile trail. I like the colour way, subtle with a little style.

I love these shoes. They are extremely supportive and comfortable. The arch support is also very good, so I keep coming back to this brand.

Asics is the brand I always return to. I try others, but they don't have the structure and support that Asics has.

I order a 1/2 size up in most running and trail shoes. This holds true for this one also

I love this shoe. I have owned many pairs of this model of Asics running shoe and they are the best running shoes out there. Plenty of room in the toe box. Excellent arch support. Easy on the feet. I did not like this particular style but bought them anyway as the shoe is being discontinued. I think Asics is making a mistake.

For me this shoe was perfect. I purchased for $34.95 and was going to order second pair, but price went up. I need winter boots too and can't get both. ? I have very narrow heels and flat arches so these felt very supportive to me.

These shoes are great! I wear them all day at work and on my daily outdoor walk, and my feet don't hurt at all at the end of the day. I used to always buy ASICS for my narrow feet, but my last pair were Skechers. I loved their memory foam insoles, but they never fit quite right. These are true to size (9.5) and provide excellent arch support (I tend to pronate). They fit more like a narrow than a medium. Highly recommended!
I'd also recommend:
Skechers, Ryka, Avia

A great runner or cross training shoe. Stable, lightweight and durable for that athlete.

My 3rd pair. It's not easy when you wear a size 11. Need 11 1/2 in athletic shoes. Asics is one of the only brands that make them. Very comfortable, I do put my own insole in them because I have plantar fasciitis.
I'd also recommend:
only wear asics
