Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Foundation® 13

Got these for -$50 than other places. Been wearing foundations for many years and these are just as nice. Fast free delivery. Will buy another pair to stock up.

One of the few shoes that overpronate in 4E wish their were more colors to choose from

I BEEN WEARING THESE SHOES BECAUSE I HAVE A LOW ARCH AND I STAND ALL DAY AT WORK UP TO 11 HRS A DAY. I Also wear them to the gym to work out very comfortable shoe so Happy a runner introduce me to a great shoe.

Very comfortable and bought 4E width but had to order 1 size too big as toe box is very tight.

This is my tenth pair of ASICS and three or four of those have been the foundation model. They are very comfortable but the thicker insole makes the inner heal wear quickly due to the foot not staying seated during running/walking motions. After inserting my gel Kayano insoles in these it fixed that problem. Still a great shoe, especially for over-pronation correction.

These shoes try to be too many things all at once. It seems like there were too many suggestions during development and unfortunately, it seems like they all got put in. The toe box is too big. They made these so you could put your own orthotics in them. Unfortunately, that means that they are too big in the toe box. Not a big deal except that makes the laces unevenly tight toward the top. I have to use the end holes, so the laces are a little short. The sole is too stiff. The shoes are a little too big for my foot (but just right for my big toe). The heel is too vertical. All these combine to make my heel slide up and down as I walk. The good part is there is plenty of support along the inside edge of the shoe, which is where most of my weight goes. I can go about my normal routine and my feet don't hurt like some other shoes. The more I wear down my shoes on the inside, the worse they are for my feet because then they pronate even more. I still haven't found a shoe that actually corrects the pronation angle. I need about 10 degrees tilt so that the outside edge of my foot is lower than the inside edge. This would make my ankles more straight when standing. My feet are so flat, they can make suction cup sounds on the floor. My big toe is the longest toe, so I usually need to buy size 10 just so my big toe isn't crammed against the end of the shoe. This makes most shoes a little too big. I wear size 9 to 10, depending on how my big toe fits.

Am finally down to my last pair of 8's so I purchased a pair of 13's. Unfortunately the fit is very different. Same size is longer and slightly narrower. Maybe because the 13's are made in Vietnam instead of Indonesia? Returned. Bring back the 8's (or switch back to Indonesia) !!!

I've purchased dozens of ASICS 9.5 4E shoes, but this style seems to have a giant toe box in comparison. The cushioning seems hard, and lateral support lacking. I'm very happy with other ASICS, just not this style.
