Finally!! I have been looking for a shoe for underpronation that has support on the sides so that my foot doesn't slide from side to side. I have very high arches and a lot of hip and ankle pain. These shoes have helped so far with the pain!!! I am on my feet all day and need a good shoe with a lot of support and this shoe provides both support and comfort.

These look like great shoes, but they are the narrowest wide width shoes I've ever tried to put on (and couldn't).

These felt heavenly when I first put them on because of the gel, even though they are 8mm differential and I'm used to 0 and 6mm differential shoes. Good luck finding those in wide running shoes. I'm 5'0" 105 lbs. and measure a 5 1/2 E or WW. I ordered a 6D in these. Inside they are marked with Euro size 37 and D. They were more comfy than the Saucony and Innov-8s when I first tried then on. But after standing in them for an hour at my computer, my toes began to feel achy and squished. I agree with the reviews that say these do NOT seem like wide shoes. There is no room for my toes to splay or even just not be squished on the outer three toes. Too narrow in the toe box. Also, I was surprised that they were as comfortable at first because, of the three pairs I got, the other two appeared to have wider toe boxes; this style has an elongated pointy toe for a running shoe. I prefer the more squared off look. Does anyone know where I can find a 6-8mm differential WW grey road running shoe?

Brooks, Saucony, New Balance

the best shoe I have purchased by far, the gel inside provides excellent comfort especially since I work on my feet all day. I will be purchasing the same shoe just a different color pretty soon.... and the price was awesome!!!! #winning

The Contends were getting a bit too wide & less stable, these Sonomas slipped on with a Cinderella fit & I left them on for the next 10 hours...going to order another pair immediately!

I actually bought these shoes off Amazon but i thought it’d be helpful to write a review on here too. The shoes were really narrow. The sides of my feet were suffocating or basically sandwiched in the shoes. I had to over stuff the insides with extra paper to keep the show wide over time. After a week, i slipped them back on and they were ok (better than before) but still kinda narrow... Just keep wearing the shoes and you will notice how comfortable it is. You gotta give it some time to break the shoes in. Overall, the comfort of the shoes are awesome. Feels like I’m walking on clouds. A lot of my friends tease me about the style but i choose comfort > style. I wear a size 6 so the shoes looked really chunky on me but i could honestly care less about the looks. Get the shoes if you have time to break em in.

I like the style of this shoe because I have a narrow foot. It fits me without being too tight. Have not found another brand that fits as well.

I've been buying Asics Gels for years. 9M always fit, including the other pair I purchased at same time, but this felt narrow.

I ordered these in B width because wide athletic shoes don't support my supination properly. They were ridiculously narrow, and I'm sorry to have to send them back; I ordered them for a trip and there's no time to try them in wide. The model number on the box ends in "N," which makes me wonder if what's listed as medium width is actually narrow, and wide is actually medium. This should be looked into, to avoid more people being disappointed. Until then, if you have super-skinny feet, you'll probably like these shoes.

I love these shoes, just what the doctor ordered. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and have had a stress fracture in my foot, my feet feel great in these. I'm finally able to do impact workouts.

These shoes have yet to disappoint! They provide great support and amazing cushion. While I usually wear a size 7, I always order an 8 in ASICS running shoes and they fit perfectly. I wear these shoes more for treadmill running and indoor activity, but they've also been great for light trail walking. The colors of these shoes are bright and vivid. I would recommend these shoes to anyone.

I like the color of these shoes very much. They also feel true to size, though, when I first tried them on they felt much too narrow at toes. But after walking for a little they started to feel much better and much more comfortable. I wear size 9.5-10 and my feet usually looks giant in any shoes :) But these sneakers have beautiful design and they literally make my feet look smaller :) Love it!

I buy running shoes to wear for work because I'm on my feet most of the time. Asics is my favorite shoe brand, so I knew I wanted another pair to use as work shoes. These shoes felt fairly stiff the first couple of times I wore them, which I wasn't used to with Asics and made me concerned about how my feet would feel after wearing them all day, but now the shoes are more broken in and I haven't had sore feet.
