Some ASICS models are just right, but this one is too narrow at the front- doesn’t work with bunions. Also, not much cushioning in the forefoot. Colors are nice-

I switched from Nike's to Asics and my first pair was a Flux-3. They have been my favorite pair of Flux shoes so far. Comfortable from the moment I tried them on. When I wore them out I moved to the Flux-4 still comfortable but not as Comfortable as the Flux-3. Now that I've worn them out I moved on to the Flux-5. Once again not as comfortable as the Flux-4 and they feel a little smaller. I'll keep wearing them for now, but may look for another pair of Flux-4 on Amazon.
Still more comfortable that what I can find in Nike's now, though.

Have worn Asics for years. I am disappointed in this shoe. I ordered 8.5 wide but these were too narrow and short. I'll be returning and let my feet do the shopping! I should have listened to the other reviews.

Oh my gosh, the insole is extremely firm. Numerous pressure points had my feet in pain the first day I wore them. I got these at a good price, but if I have to buy my own insole, it doesn't seem like such a great deal anymore. I do like the color and style, but cannot recommend them based on the poor comfort.

I like the way the shoes look, but they hurt my feet just sitting and having my feet on the ground. I walked a little in them, and im hoping they become a little bit more comfortable the more use they get.

I've been buying ASICS for 15 years of running. I've always gotten a size 10 and they've fit wonderfully. I bought this shoe in the same size and my toes were screaming by the end of my first walk. Very disappointing.

This is by far the worst shoe I’ve ever bought. I bought wides and they are very narrow at the toe. This made my toes rub together and I have blisters now. I will not be wearing them for running or long distance walking. Very disappointed.

Not impressed with this style. Typically buy half size up madeium width and these were still short and extremely narrow. Toe box squeeze was extreme. Will be returning this shoe.

The Gel Flux 5 has more of a rounded toe box. The 3 was more pointed. I have a longer big toe so the more pointed toe box works better for me.

I bought these a couple of weeks ago. They were hurting the top of my toes but I figured they needed to be broken in. The problem continued and I took a peek inside the shoe to find the stiches were the issue. Excess fabric was left at the the box seem and it causes friction when I walk. Would not waste my money

Description said this shoe is good for those with supination or underpronation, which I do. But after walking just a half mile in these puppies, my feet and calves started screaming. I tried to run, couldn't go more than 20 feet without the pain increasing. It was wild! I've used Asics exclusively for 10 years, through many half marathons. I've never had a shoe make such an immediate and big impact on my feet. I'm sure it works well for some, but not me!

I just bought these, they are so tight, feels like a size smaller. Why so inconsistent with the sizing? The sneaker is also very narrow. I will definitely be returning these!!!!

Bought these and wore them once. At first try in they were fine and tore the tags off. Wore them a few days later on a 2 mi walk and I can definitely notice how tight they are. I always buy asics in a 7.5 wide. This shoe however is size differently. Cant return since worn. Sooo disappointed.

My flux 4 are my favorite but are getting old and I wanted to replace them. Should have listened to the reviews! These are not the same shoes at all! The fit is way off. The flux 4’s i had were a 9.5. Based on the reviews for these I ordered a 10 Wide and still no luck. The heel area is tight and they don’t feel wide at all. Sadly, they just aren’t the same and will have to go back.
