I purchased this shoe in a wide width, but they're not as wide as I would like. I'm keeping them because I like the way they look & I hope that they'll loosen up a little.

I have posterior tibial tendonitis. These are comfortable for walking and standing for long periods of time (I work in a lab). I haven’t ran too much in these since my tendonitis flares, but I imagine this is a fine choice for occasional jogging. I would get this again.

very comfortable sneaker. my only complaint is it's alot heavier than I thought. It definitely doesn't count as light weight.

Wanted to love these, but they didn't work out for me. I ordered the wide size, like allmy previous Asics have been, and this shoe felt weirdly narrow around the arch area of the foot while also not providing much arch support. There was plenty of toe room and heel room, and it felt like it was squeezing in to the middle of my foot. My feet are wide, but proportionate otherwise, I imagine anyone with thicker/puffier feet wouldn't like these at all. I did like the color and they would likely not show much dirt. Sad to return these.

This shoe was way too wide. I have purchased several other asics shoes and never had this problem. I will be sending them back.

The toe box felt huge. I wear Asics all the time, but this shoe felt really wide. The heel was fine, but even with my orthotics and heavy socks the shoe still didn't feel right.

This shoe was recommended by my podiatrist to correct pronation. I purchased two different brands on the list my podiatrist gave me. This shoe was a good color and stylish. When I tried it on, my big toe hit the front, but it was only the left shoe, and the width could have been a bit wider. I was really disappointed that I had to return this shoe.

Fairly boring shoe, but might have worked for me except the toe box wasn't deep enough at the front. It pressed on the top of my big toe, even though the shoe was long enough.

I bought these online because they were on sale, helped with over pronation and had extra cushion. First impression was that they were really hard - I thought they would need some breaking in but I've had them for over 2 years now and they are still too hard for my liking. Granted they did loosen up a bit over time but I still feel a pretty solid impact when running with these. Overall, I think it's a pretty solid shoe but I've gone ahead with the Gel Ventures 8 instead.

These shoes are cute and I loved the color indigo and seashell, The insoles feel cushiony by hand (too small to put on foot) but run at least a full size smaller than Asics Cumulus 21 that I purchased at the same time to compare. These are going back but undecided about reordering a full size or more up. This could be just a mistake

I liked the shoes, but they felt a little too small and they were covered in either dog or cat hair. I'm returning them for a half size larger and hoping the person who had these before me didn't get to the new ones first.

I'm always a solid 8, even in Asics. This shoe felt at least a full size too small. My advice would be to order 2 sizes and ship one back.

Still on the fence about these. Gel doesn't seem to provide as much cushion as my old Nike Air Max. May return.

I normally wear a 7 in ASICS. I need more width so tried a 7W and 7.5W Gel Foundation. The 7.5W fit best but the arch felt like it was too far forward. I ended up going with the 7.5W ASICS Gel Nimbus 20.

These did not fit my wide foot. They felt as though they had no cushioning. I returned them.

I usually wear a narrow but have not been able to find any walking shoes in a narrow so thought I would try the medium width. These shoes slipped on my heel with every step, so I am returning them. I will have to keep looking for a narrow shoe.

I love zappos! I love Asics, but these slip on my heels. They slip too much I have to return them, I most likely will order a pair of cumulous.

I compared it to my current Asics gel 9 1/2 and it was visibly smaller. There is more sole to this and that part measures the same but the actual shoe size was too short. I am going to try size 10 as it felt good otherwise.

These shoes are advertised as being suitable for overpronators. They are not even close to suitable. Neutral shoes are better than these. Zero stability, inner sides (where your feet are parallel have no support), arch support non-existent. My feet were heavily leaning inward. Never tried on a brand new sneaker, even a neutral one, that did this. Don't believe the hype.

The most massive toe box ever. I am a women's 11.5 which is the worst size ever. This felt like a 12, with a 12.5 toe box!

I have extreme over pronation. I found these to be good but I still have aches after wearing them a few hours. I'll keep and look for a more supportive shoe.

I have been wearing Asics for a long time. I am disappointed in this shoe. I have worn them only 3-4 times. They are very uncomfortable and caused abrasions on my foot when wearing them on my treadmill. They are brand new and I am not able to wear them for exercise. Unfortunately since I have worn them I can't send them back.

Right foot doesn't have enough support for overpronation and the left foot has so much it is real tight and rubs all around the heal area. This is disappointing because I have worn ASICS for years.
