For me personally these are a bit narrow in the toe. Other than that though they are great.

I like the fit of these but they make my feet stink. This is my second pair, and I should have remembered after the first pair but didn't! None of my other shows do this. Very strange!

When I first got these shows, I found the sole a bit too stiff and uncomfortable, but overall a great sneaker so I decided to hold on to them and see if I could break them in. A year later, I wear them regularly for walking and the gym. Definitely great at stabilizing on uneven terrain.

I loved these shoes. I wanted to keep these shoes, even as they felt a little big; however, the shoe went entirely too high up the back of my ankle, way past the bend of my achilles. I am certain it would have resulted in a blister, so have to return. Disappointed, as I was really excited about these. Thanks, Zappos, for the excellent customer service.

Overall this shoe was comfortable right out of the box, although the cushioning in the front part of the shoe seemed to be a bit less than other asics that I have had. I did replace the insole with a powerstep insole that I purchased from my podiatrist. This improved the arch and overall cushion just a bit.

I normally wear a 11, but, they were to short. I got the 11 1/2 and they fit perfectly. They are a keeper.

I purchased these to be used for my workouts such as HIIT, body pump, indoor cycling, etc. They are very sturdy and supportive, but need to be broken in a little more to reach maximum comfort level. I love the modern design!

I wanted a basic, inexpensive running shoe with a somewhat traditional style design. These shoes work great for that purpose. The sizing is accurate. I love the peachy "seashell" pink accents. The only negative is that the sole is rather stiff and not super cushiony. I expect them to soften up over time, as my previous pair of Asics did.

This is the second pair of this style of shoes I've bought - even with updates, this pair is exactly what I expected and I'm quite pleased that I found them on sale on the Asics site. These aren't high performance shoes, but they are perfect for being on your feet all day, for walking 1-3 miles, and (now with the old ones) for yard work. I would wholeheartedly recommend for everyday casual shoes.

I always wear half size up in running shoes. Got a 9, but my heel slips. Otherwise they're comfortable in the toe box and have good cushion, hopefully 8.5 will work!

I have bought Asics for years, as this brand seems to fit my foot well; although I wish the color were more cheerful, I bought this particular pair because of the great price. One additional way I make this shoe more comfy is to replace the insert with 'Sofsole' shoe inserts . This really enhances the comfort and arch support of this shoe for me.

I always wear an 8 1/2 in running shoes but these are the biggest 8 1/2's I've ever worn - they fit my orthopedic insoles well and I will just wear thicker socks. I've never worm trail shoes before - these are very structured compared to other Asics running shoes I've owned.

Fits well, sturdy construction, looks great all good things in a pair of running shoes. My podiatrist recommended this brand of shoe for structure and support, and so far so good. A little loose in the heel, but have laced them differently to accommodate.

This shoe felt just a bit too tight on the sides for comfort. I have a bunion so have to be careful of tight shoes. Loved the style and color, arch support felt good. A wider size in this style but different color didn't quite work. Go ahead and try it, you may find you love these. For me, I think New Balance shoes work better.

This shoe looks great and I wanted to keep it. I have a bunion so thought I'd try the wider fit but it felt too wide. Walked in my carpeted hallway a couple of times and felt my foot slipping. Too bad, love the style and color and the arch support felt good. May try in the regular width if available.

These running shoes were recommended by my podiatrist for joint support. They are comfortable, feel sturdy, and are, I think, attractive. I am looking forward to putting some miles on these!

I ordered two pairs of this style in different colors. This one is going back as the left shoe is a little short. My big toes is pressing on the end of one. Returning this pair for a different one.
