I was initially wary of purchasing these after reading some reviews because my feet are on the wider side; I'm so glad I got them anyway. My normal sneaker size (Brooks, New Balance, etc.) is 7 and these fit perfectly - not too tight, enough space in the toe box to run comfortably. I was on a difficult trail that was extra slippery due to recent rain and fallen leaves, but these shoes have great traction. Black color goes with everything. Laces stay tied. Great cushioning in the sole.

I had the Gel-Sonoma 2 and they kept my feet from hurting on long walks. I have flat feet and shoes with no support hurt my arch bone and heels. I am glad to report that the Gel-Sonoma 3 works just as well.

These shoes fit true to size and are very comfortable. As a postal worker, I am very picky about my shoes and comfort level. These shoes I wore to work straight out of the box and felt great!

I was concerned about the stiffness of these shoes at first, and also other users' comments about a narrow toe box. I order a size 10M in all non-dress shoes - I'm sized a 9.5 but find that the toe box is too narrow when I buy that size, and perfect in a size 10. Despite the stiffness of these shoes they're actually VERY comfortable, and after 1-2 days of break-in perfect! My only concern is how fast this shoe is going to break down - most shoes I find break down in 6-10 months with the wear I put on them - I hope these can last at least that long before I have to replace them. Overall the style is great, once broken in they're very comfortable for walking and working out in, and are a great buy!

These shoes were a perfect fit. I have a wide foot and many running shoes are too narrow for me. As soon as I received them I went to try them out. Great support and nice bounce. Zappos is the best. Nobody delivers so quickly & accurately. Thank you!

Nice shoe but a lot narrower than expected for a wide. Very surprising given that Asics is very generous with width. Will exchange for another size.

Started a new job where I stand on concrete 8 hours a day, and my feet were hurting so bad! I had previously broken 2 bones in my feet and fractured an ankle. After weeks of sore feet, I bought these shoes. No more pain after the first shift I wore them!!!!

I bought these as dark-colored trail runners for jogging and walking on uneven mountain trails and I'm very happy with them. The size is true to other Asics I've purchased in the back, the fit is secure but not restrictive, and the support is good. Grippy soles are good for trails.

This shoe is absolutely amazing. I have been dealing with plantars ficitis and by the end of my day I couldn't even stand or walk. Today I purchased my first pair of asics and it is a miracle shoe I swear. Still on my feet at 9pm NO PAIN! So I feared taking the shoe off to find pain, to my surprise NONE!!! I can't say THANK YOU ASICS ENOUGH! Highly recommend this shoe!

A stylish and comfortable shoe. I bought these along with ASICS GT-2000 5 and both shoes have a very similar feel.

They were a very tight fit at first, and now wearing them for the 3rd day, feel a little better. I HATE the way they were laced, and have replaced to suit my taste and comfort which has made a difference in comfort. I have flat feet and need to add an orthotic insole and find it difficult, but willing to use them a bit longer before I give up. It seems to get better each day so far.

Finally a pair of women's sneakers without all of the neon accents. I found this pair to be very comfortable, but agree with others that it was narrow. I already have narrow feet and still found it uncomfortably narrow. While I usually wear a size 9.5/10 (9.5 in Asics) I felt the 10 was more comfortable. I ended up trying a couple of different 10's and noticed there was a difference in the width. So if you are really like this pair, I suggest you order multiple pairs in your desired size to compare.

I need good heel support for my workouts, Asics usually provide this for me but I've noticed that the shoes seem to be made cheaper and cheaper every time I buy a pair but I guess that goes for everything you buy nowadays. I'm just glad that I could find a solid color, not 10 different neon colors. Not every woman wants hot pink and purple sneakers. These were a little snug but hoping by the time I wear them in they'll be perfect.

I always look to ASICS when I am buying running shoes and I have had great experience with their shoes in the past. This shoe was much more narrow than previous pairs I’ve owned. These would not be comfortable out of the box for a run, so I am sending them back for a wider pair.
