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.

Comfortable right out of the box, no break in required. Wearing daily on my 2+ mile dog walk. Very stable.

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.

love the comfort + stability. 3x cheaper than my last pair of trail shoes. don't look as good but trail shoes aren't generally runway material.

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.

I usually get Sauconys

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!

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 am a 55 yo female. I bought a pair of these a year ago. Trained for and did the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim (~24 mi) in them. I also have done a lot of long distance mountaineering (12-25 mi, 5-10k+ elevation gain) on and off trail, rugged terrain, light scrambling, while wearing the same pair. Yes, my feet and ankles get a little sore, but not much more than when I wear full leather hiking boots and I love the lighter weight of these shoes when doing distance.
I want to replace these shoes and haven't found anything I like as much. Looks like I should have ordered 5 pair when I had the chance. :( Wish Asics would un-discontinue this shoe!

Felt true to size. Got the medium width, my foot IS a bit narrow, flat footed, and the fit is perfect. I got them for light hiking. I absolutely love them. They are very comfortable, very supportive, and I love the grey/yellow combo together. Seriously the best trail shoes I can remember having. Thinking about buying the exact same pair to have after these wear out.

I am an over 20 year faithful Kayano Gel wearer, decided to try this model. Now I love both! This will be my new trail runner. Asics, please don't stop making this shoe. Bonus, LOVE LOVE LOVE the color scheme, can make this shoe work with nearing any clothing.

These shoes are great for the money. They fit well and I really like the colors. Since I wear a lot of pink I wanted a shoe that would match what I wear, but not look obnoxious. These shoes look and feel great!!
