Great shoes, comfortable, super price point, the grey color is perfect for coaching baseball and a 4E width is much appreciated! Thank you!

I bought these trainers for trail running and they are a great fit and very comfortable on the heel. I have a wide (E) fitting and can find some shoes tight but these were very comfortable. The rugged grip is amazing and sticks like glue to the ground and the gore-tex upper gives great breathability and saves on weight. For the price these are an amazing shoe. Highly recommended.

It's hard to find a sneaker with a wider width. Once I bought my first pair I keep ordering them.

Shoes are very comfortable and sharp looking. Make sure that you were semi-tall socks however, they will rub the back of your Achilles tendon if you don't. These are some of the most well padded shoes I have ever had. I use these for just everyday use, and I have no real complaints.

These sneakers feel more durable and comfortable than the second generation, and size 10 fits me as expected (just the same as the gel-sonoma 2s did). I love these sneakers for running.

These shoes I bought as a work shoe and they have provided amazing comfort all around and have left my feet feeling fantastic even after running around during a 10 HR shift.

Because my job requires standing, these are pretty darn good. With inserts, I can go all day.

Good shoe, still comfortable a few miles into the run. Not sure where all the “too hard” complaints come from - I can feel bigger pebbles when running trail (though not painfully so) and am padded enough running roads. All around good show, esp for cost

Supportive and a little snug like some other review said - but still comfortable. I needed a shoe for running outside in snow and the Sonoma 3 works great for that - my feet stay nice and warm and very dry - way drier than the kahanas these are replacing. I usually don't wear neutral shoes but these are very supportive in the arch and even stiff in the heel without using a heavy heel-counter. The 4E is not a real 4E but it's just wide enough for me and they are breaking in and getting a little wider.

ASICS is my second go to shoe, first for sports shoes. The nes design is tighter around the shape of the toes, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
I prefer a wider toe, like Berkinstock.
The "old" sizing is much better.
Returns are easy

I bought these shoes about a month ago. I run 3-4 miles 3 times per week. These shoes fit very well and are very comfortable. I would definetly recommend this shoe for the casual runner.

The shoe fits really well even though the top of my foot is very tall the shoes still fit without hurting.
They took a week to break in, and in that week they applied a little pressure to the top of my feet while walking, but now they feel great.

I ordered and they were delivered in 2 days. I'm a medical professional and I selected these for comfort. They've been good so far. The size runs small. I wear Nimbus for running so can't give details with respect of running. They work great on 12 and 14 hour shifts.

These fit comfortably. Generous toe box depth and width that allows good movement. Don't slip on my heels. Don't hurt my bunion. Not my favorite style, but I don't mind wearing them in public if I have to walk a lot and am wearing jeans. However, I bought them in February and they started making a scrunchy/squeaky sound a couple of months ago. It's not so loud that I'm embarrassed, but it's noticeable without a lot of ambient noise to blend in with (like my aerobic class music!).
I immediately upon purchase removed the insoles that came with them and inserted my favorite Mommy Steps moldable athletic-thickness insoles for the best support. I'm hoping I can replace these with the nes I really wanted that Zappo had stopped carrying - Asics Gel Venture 5.

The shoe fits a narrower foot just perfectly. I wear the shoe for a cross fit type workout. The show is light and has good cushion. However, the show does slip on the floor when placing pressure when doing planks or TRX. I am not sure why because there is good tread.

My son has narrow feet so these shoes fit well and are really comfortable however they are defiantly on the narrow than normal size. Overall a well made and nice shoe.

Bought these for my husband that has gigantic size 14 feet. He says it feels like angels are singing when he puts them on. He took the dog on an extra long walk the day they arrived. They might need a breaking-in period as he says they are a bit tight. Hopefully these will last him a long time.

I bought these shoes for Cross Country/ Trail running a few months ago. So far, I don't have any complaints. The tread is nice and aggressive and runs well on both hard and soft surfaces, especially on loose dirt and gravel. The fit around the heel is nice and snug, and there is plenty of toe room up front. Though it has lost a bit of its stiffness and the tread is beginning to wear, that is completely normal for a running shoe when it is used as a daily trainer. If I had to request an improvement, perhaps a little more arch support and more support in the midsole
