Love these shoes. I'll admit when I first tried them on they felt smaller in comparison to the Asics I had bought 2 days earlier... in the same size. So beware that the Gel-Sonoma style will feel snug. The good news is that they are still wide enough for my feet (which is what I love about how Asics fit), and as I'm settling in, they get more and more comfortable. If you're looking for something that will give you support, and will hold up to side-to-side movement at the gym, these are great.

Asics is the one brand I can buy without trying on until today, bummer. I have never had a problem and every pair was always true to size. The shoe looks great but was too narrow. Hope that Asics is not changing how they put their shoes together. As always Zappos folks were great with the return.

My wife and I have been using Asics for over 15 years, and they have always been true to size. I bought a pair of Gel Sonoma 3 men's shoes, and when I first tried them on they felt tight.I tried loosening the laces completely, and the shoes were still tight. I tried wearing them to stretch them out, and it was impossible-they became impossible to wear. I love the light weight of the shoes, but will definitely go a half size larger with my next pair. I hope Aspics has not changed their size standards-they have always been consistent in the past..

Very light and comfortable. Arch support is amazing. Love the color. Fit my foot perfectly. Very good traction and stability. They breathe very well.

Being a Road runner for so long now me taking to the Trails as a newbie is a great feeling. It's even a better feeing with these New Gel-Sonoma 3's
Very good support and I don't feel all those roots and rocks like I did before, looking forward to more Trail runs in them!

Great shoe for the price. I have for over 40 years worn ASIC running shoes even though I do not run. Now I am trying these cross training shoes and I think they are better for me.

Fits perfect for the purpose it was actually bought for. Running and pausing to change direction is just excellent.

These shoes make it feel like I’m walking on clouds! Great purchase! Normally I get a regular size, but this particular shoe fit better with an extra wide.

I wear an 11 dress shoe, but require a 12 in these shoes. For the moment I'm not running due to an injury but these are a very comfortable walking shoe. I have a narrow foot and these fit perfectly.

Have had the shoes for about 3 days. Received with two days of ordering. Pretty much as advertised. Shoe sole looks durable, and no noticeable defects in shoe construction. As others have stated, the shoe feels a bit snugger than other 4E width shoes. Insole appears to have decent cushion support.

I wanted a replacement for my beloved Fuji racers, which aren't made anymore. These Sonoma 3's are just the ticket. I have narrow feet and these shoes fit like a glove, are lightweight and well cushioned around the heel. Perfect for the gym or just walking on the street.

I've been waiting for the price to go down this low. I have 2 shoes like this and I wear them for my trail hiking addiction. I wish they have more color selections.

I've worn the Asics Nimbus series for my last three pairs of trail hiking shoes. These are a little heavier, but the sole is more protective for rocks, roots, pine cones, etc. I wore them to grocery and such a couple of times to 'break them in', but I think they would have done fine on a long hike right out of the box. My only issue is that they seem to be a little tight at the bottom of the lacing harness.
Overall, very comfy with good protection from hard bits on the trails. The heel is a great fit. Oddly, while I have not slipped on any surface outside, they are a little slick when wet on tile and other shiny man-made surfaces, that may change as the sole wears a little bit. I got about 500 hiking miles out of each of the nimbus 18's & 19's, so we'll see how these stand up over time. so far so good over the first 30 or so miles.
