Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Exalt 4

I've always been a fan of Asics. They are great especially if you pronate and tend to cave in your running shoes. The past few years I've been running in Nike's which are great shoes as well but don't quite provide my feet the support they need when I start adding on the miles which causes some knee and ankle pain. My high arches flatten with every foot fall and the duomax midsole with these shoes can support that. I usually wear a size 7 1/2 in Nike and most other shoes but am an 8 in Asics so I would recommend going up a half size when you order.

I got these shoes to wear at the gym, where I usually use various cardio machines and do some light lifting, and occasionally running on paved paths/sidewalks. I've only worn them a few times, but they are comfortable and supportive and don't rub anywhere. They are very lightweight.A couple of reviewers mentioned the toe box is small, and when I first put these on, I definitely felt it. My toes felt like they were right up against the front and slightly pinched with no extra room. This loosened up considerably after one wear and now they fit perfectly. If I'd gone up a size, I think they'd be too big.

I have to invest in good quality running shoes because I have plantar fasciitis and work three 12 hr shifts a week. Sometimes it is hard to find a style I like, so I was excited to find these and the price was great. I got blue/silver/lime and I get compliments on them when I wear them. I wear 8.5-9 in shoes and have to use custom inserts also. I got these in a 9, and they are snug but comfortable, and I know will be even better when I break them in more.

Seemed to run small especially in the toe box area. I have worn Asics for years but these seem smaller and my toes felt very squished. Will be returning.

I bought these thinking they would be an accurate replacement for my Gel Exalt 3 shoes. They were NOT! The foot bed is absolutely flat, with no arch support or contouring to hold your foot in place. Sizing was accurate, just not a good shoe for the miles and hours I put on. I wish shoe companies would not radically change an existing shoe style - bring in another one, rather than butcher a good one to cheapen it!

I LOVE these shoes! Run in them, but also, for the first time in forever, I wear them out into the world, too. My feet are widish, so I went up half a size, and it was perfect. The fit is super-supportive, but the arches aren't that strong. I have high ones, so I'm putting orthotics in, just so that I can run (I'm a little fat, so there's a lot of weight coming down on my feet when I run.) Overall - great shoes. Buy them if you want a structured foot and great looking shoes. I also got them on sale, which didn't hurt.

I should have listened to the reviews... I'm ALWAYS a 9 in Asics but these definitely run small. I'm returning and ordering a 1/2 size larger.

Pretty but I liked another pair more.

Has great arch support and liked the style, but ran too small and I had to return it. Wish they had a wide option.

I usually wear an 8 1/2 but ordered a 9 per the recommendations of others. The fit was right, however, the right shoe hurt my foot on the side just above the ball of the foot. The left shoe was fine. There was a spot on the right shoe that was just not comfortable. Sending these back!

I bought these as a potential upgrade for my GEL-Exalt 1's and they feel like a completely different shoe. The sizing is off (these feel bigger) and they offer basically zero arch support. They just feel cheaper? Burgundy colorway is chic, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend these.

Immediately needed to put special insole in-- not great support and didn't feel cushiony at all while running. Bottom heel has some kind of tread that doesn't feel properly attached-- always squelching around when I walk. This is on me for getting the one on sale. First time I got a bad pair of Asics.

I bought these for my teenage daughter, and she's normally a size 9, but her toes were totally squished in these shoes. The toe box is not very roomy, and I would say they run at least a half size smaller. Very cute shoes, but these will unfortunately be returned.

I loved the ASICS GEL-Exalt 3. Version 4 offers no arch support. Returning.

Nice looking shoe and color, but there is NO arch at all. The insole is completely flat.

I bought these as part of an order of three running shoes to try. I'm keeping a different pair, but it's not because I don't like these. The other pair fit, and if I wanted to keep these I'd have to go up a size. I'm usually a 9, in pretty much everything, but my toes touched the end of the shoe in the 9 of this one. Aside from that, these seem comfortable and I loved the style. I ordered the navy with the light/lime green trim and they were cute enough for workouts and just wearing casually. So I'd recommend, but would recommend going up half a size.

Perfect fit and support.

Color and design of this shoe was great. Although there appears to be no arch support I could feel the heel stability which will help with my overpronation.

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and they give my toes plenty of room.

I read through all the reviews about this shoe running small. I always wear an 8 1/2 but trusted the reviews an ordered a 9. It's too big!

This is my third pair. I originally ordered a 9 but felt it was a bit short so I got my second pair in a 9.5. This shoe has been a god - send for my chronic arch pain. I walk daily and this show is the show for me.

This is my second pair of this style. Color is different and looks nice with pink. Not that garish pink that so many sneakers are. Perfect. I wear 8 1/2 in sneakers, but these fit in size 9, based upon suggestions of other Zappos customers. Quick shipment. Very pleased.

I run in the Asics Gel Nimbus and like the fit. I tried this pair for everyday walking and it has a comfortable fit. I also liked the color!

I received these yesterday and I have worn them all day today. Very pleased. I wear an 8.5 in most Asics. After reading the reviews, I ordered the size 9's. Perfect fit. Will now order the burgundy pair. Thanks to Asics, Zappos, and fellow reviewers.

I am a nurse and on my feet A LOT! So, I am a huge comfort shoe hunter! These shoes are great, not as cushy as the $120 pair, but a great shoe nonetheless. Very supportive, not hot, and looks good.
