The 7.5 wide fit me well. They are light in weight & feel very comfortable.

These are very comfortable right out of the box. The memory foam provides really nice support. I am replacing an old pair of Asics and the overall fit is very similar, but even more comfortable. I got the heritage blue for a pop of color. Would buy again.

I've used Asics running shoes for about 4 years now mostly for treadmill run/walk. I am a supinator with moderately high arches. My last pair was Gel-Cumulus 19 and I liked them. I was discouraged by the overwhelmingly negative reviews for the Gel-Cumulus 20 so I thought I'd try these. I am very happy with these- they feel cushioned but not heavy and arch support is great. I am a 9.5 in running shoes and these were true to size.

These were great ordered a wide Bc of a foot injury but I think I would of been ok with the normal width. They are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever purchased. I just ordered two more pairs in a different color

I love ASICS! I should be the ASICS poster girl. I've had over 50 pairs in the last 15 or so years. I have high arches and this is one of the few brands that I can wear that don't smash the tops of my feet. I can wear them for 10 hours and still be comfortable. They aren't too heavy or clunky. This particular show is well priced and cute as well. I don't normally wear white because I'm a slob and out in nature so much but I find that ASICS wash well (gentle cycle, cold) if you don't put them in the dryer or by a heat source. I let them dry on top of the washer as heat can cause them to warp, as I found out to my chagrin. They should start making dress shoes!

These work great with orthotics. It gives the perfect arch support.

I am impressed with these shoes. I had a pair of ASICS before and needed a fresh pair for working out. I overpronate and I have flat feet and these are supportive and comfortable. I have plenty of tow box room and the material provides some stretch there too.

When it comes to athletic shoes, I've bought ASICS exclusively for years, even before my podiatrist recommended the brand. This pair is SO comfortable! While the arch support may not be as good as ASICS used to offer, I think the overall support feels great. My feet are a bit wide and I have had plantar fasciitis in the past, so I'm really careful when buying shoes. The regular width felt good and made my foot look like everyone else's, but the wide width was even better and still looks better than my old pair. I love the color combination Violet Blush/Dive Blue so the bright color is there but it's a little hidden. I think it can't be beat for the price. I wish ASICS would branch out into other kinds of shoes.

I was concerned about getting the GEL-Excite 6, since my previous 5 pairs had been GEL-Excite 4s. I have total duck feet -- wide in front, narrow in back, with high insteps to boot -- and so finding running shoes that fit well can be a challenge. I bought 8.5W (same as I used to get in the 4s) and they're great -- very roomy in the toe box, and still narrow enough in the heel. I ended up getting a second pair almost immediately after.

Fit was right on for me, great rear foot cushioning. Best Asics I've had in a long while, I ordered a few pair. The white pair has a particularly nice sporty look. I gave Style three stars, mainly because in my opinion Asics color choices are horrible. I did order a few colors but other than the white they looked like regular sneakers, nothing sporty or nice about them at all. Pink ASICS not orange and tangerine all the time.

Bought Asics GEL-Excite *6 for my grandaughter. She selected them because of comfort, style. She will wear them to school and casual wear as well.

I usually get 10s, but I got a 10.5 wide since asics are usually tight on my feet. Feel great!

I have a narrow heel that slips out of most brands of athletic shoes. Asics seem to be made for me! Their medium width fits me perfectly. I like the dark gray (with coral) as they're not attention-grabbing and will go with any of the pants I'll be wearing with them. I definitely recommend these shoes.

These are very comfortable throughout my entire run. They aren’t too big or sloppy and they don’t squish my toes either. I have very skinny feet and they don’t feel too wide like some shoes do when you have to buy larger sizes like I do. (In most cases, my feet are about size 11, except when shoes run large.)

Very comfortable shoe. Cushioning is great. I added arch support inserts because I have really high arches. Didn't interfere with gel feeling at all.

I broke my foot 2 years ago and these are the 1st pair of sneakers I have bought since then. I bought ASICS based on the recommendation of my orthopedist. Soon after I broke my foot I was diagnosed with diabetes. I also have plantar fasciitis and arthritis developed in my right foot from the break. Needless to say it has been a battle to find any sneakers/shoes that are comfortable and offer the support I need. I love these sneakers so far! If at any time I want to put my inserts in I can because the insole is removable but I have had no flare ups of my plantar fasciitis since the purchase. I'm not a runner but I use them for walking.

Overall a really good value for a $60 shoe. it has moderate arch support such that my feet (with plantar fasciitis) fell comfortable enough that I can work with it and not spend huge $$$. They have decent cushion but not amazing. I have yet to walk for long distances in them so I will update when I have had them longer.

I really like these shoes. They are comfortable, supportive, and stylish. I bought them for the gym and so far they have been a good fit for sprints, burpees, weightlifting, etc.
