Mostly true to size, although they were a little more narrow than I thought, and comfortable. EXCELLENT customer service!

I work 13 hour shifts and with these ASICS my feet don’t hurt at all. They are so comfortable and light weight. Will be buying another pair soon!

I havent had great luck with Asics after loving them for years but these felt awesome when I tried them on at Fleet Farm, of all places. I wear athletic shoes every day because of joint issues and so far these are great. I did have to go 1/2 size up though. I've always been an 8.5 but had to buy 9's so that my toes and the sides of my feet didnt feel like they were going to bust out. I don't have wide feet but I do need a wider toe box so that's what I had to do. Heels fit very well and they accommodate my knee heel lift as well.

Great support, a little tight over my right instep due to bone knob.

I love these shoes! I am a true Asics fan and I have never purchased a pair that didn't look and feel great! I have some problems with my feet, and a very high arch, but these shoes feel fantastic from the first time I put them on. They are light-weight and super-comfy and the fabric allows for ventilation which keeps my feet cool. Asics never disappoints!

I ended up having to return my first pair for a half-size up, but once I got my new pair my feet were happy. Decent arch support (ASICS were recommended by my podiatrist) but I ended up putting some custom orthotics in them anyway. My only complaint is that there is an edge that ASICS decided to leave "raw" and without edged nicely it does look a bit cheap. Of course, it's such a small detail that the only one who will ever see it is me, lol. I'll probably be back to buy more in different colors.

Great fit, support and super comfortable. Most important, feet are not rolling outward.

At my age comfort was a must. These shoes felt so good the second I put them on. Walked about 2 miles and my feet feel great!

After having the same type of Asics for the past 3 years, I got these; my feet feel like they are walking on clouds, they are fantastic. I would a 100% buy these again. They don't feel that heavy and they go with all of my outfits I wear so the color pattern was a great choice as well.

Great! These are the most comfortable ASICS I have ever worn. The new gel cushion is super comfortable and lightweight.

This shoe feels so good, it fits like a glove. I think it's more comfortable than the Gel-Cumulus line.

The Amplifoam insole really helps with plantar fasciitis. I bought 4 pairs of these shoes because they are my most comfortable pair of shoes at a really good price.

This was my 2nd pair of Asics and I really liked them both a lot. I do have foot issues and always remove the cushion it comes with. I replace it with a Dr. Scholls double air pillow, and a heal guard. It's just a light thin small one from Target but works great. Both of these items fit perfectly in the shoe. They are very comfortable. My feet don't ache in them even after 6-8 months of wear. I normally replace any tennis shoe around 6 months.

Brooks, Saucony.

This is my third pair of these shoes in as many months. Different colors, of course. And I didn’t need to order 3 pair because they wore out. But because I LOVE THESE SHOES! Great fit. Great comfort. A joy to wear. My arthritic knees love them, too!

I had to go back to this style shoe because so many of the new styles offer no support and are mainly fabric. The tops of my feet were killing me, my toes hurt and it got so bad I was having trouble walking. Within 3 days of wearing this old style asic, which is a little chunky, my pain was almost gone. While I love the look of the new styles but I hate what they did to me feet. This was the perfect sneaker for me. Highly recommend if you have sensitive feet, cartilage or bone issues. The blue is pretty too.

This is my 3rd pair of Asics Gel- Contend. The previous pairs were Contend 4 but they aren't available anymore so I made the leap. Glad I did. I couldn't tell any difference between my current and new pair.
