Felt a slight bit smaller than other 9.5 sizes I've tried on. Like these shoes alot regardless. Provide reasonable support and last a good long time.

Solid trail-running shoe, great traction on wet grass track. Delivered promptly. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is because the size (Euro 45) for some reason wears looser than same size in regular ASICS runner, which I also bought recently. So means the trail-running shoe is looser on my foot, solved by wearing extra pair of socks over anti-blister socks underneath - makes the shoe snug on foot.

I have been wearing ASICS Gel shoes for about 10 years now (purchase 2 pair/yr) for walking, running, and riding bikes. This pair felt a little tight in the toe initially but after wearing for several days in the house, they stretched out and felt better. I have tried Nike's, Adidas, Saucony, and other brands but feel these give me consistent support and last for a lot of miles.

I bought these shoes 6 months ago and still wearing them for everyday use. I love the color scheme of the Metropolis/Black and overall look of these shoes, comfortability is nearly perfect (if not perfect); just one thing I hoped for was that these shoes would provide full water or wet weather protection. I hate stepping into a puddle and having my sock soaked.

I bought these for my husband, who has been having heel issues in the Mizunos he's been wearing. We walk about 30-35 miles/week, so the shoes get a good bit of wear. He's had these for about a week now and worn them 3 or 4 times, so far he's happy with the heel support. He's had Asics in the past and he's happy to be in them again. We sized up 1/2 size from his street shoe size and they seem to be working great.

This is my first pair of Asics. Shoe is just a bit narrow. I wear a 4E wide and usually buy New Balance. I like them, but would have to think about buying another pair.

I had originally ordered these in an 11 and that was just a bit too small. Sent them back and ordered an 11.5 and those fit much better. I typically wear an 11 so maybe these run a little small. I needed new sneakers after finally going back to the gym, and realizing all the sneakers I had were either worn out, or didn't fit well. I've had ASICS before and liked them. I like the wild color scheme as well....makes 'em easy to find in my closet.

This very comfortable shoe rolls lengthwise more easily than most, which makes going up hills a little easier. Nice! On my first hike, a generally easy one, the tread worked well. The shoe laces are flatter and more slippery than most of my prior Asics shoes, and that seems to make them more difficult to cinch up with the desired pressure on each crossing of the lace. The prior crossing tends to slip a little before I can apply adequate pressure to the next higher crossing. I should have kept the laces from the old Asics that I tossed--the laces remained in good condition after long use.

I had to reorder this shoe in the same size (15) because the D width which I always have worn in ASICS did not come close to fitting me. I had no choice but to go with 4E width. A 2 or 3E would have been a better fit. Overall the ASICS fit I had on the Gel Venture 5 did not come close to this show. The new Venture 7 is much narrower. The laces are also horrible. ASICS might be trying to save weight or money on the laces but they have to be replaced. I have never felt such a skimpy lace on a pair of sneakers. Then again for what I paid these are an OK value. The feel of the support and shoe itself is good. ASICS please go back to the older shoe fit and laces.

I ordered these for a comfortable pair of shoes to bang around the house in. The width feels nice and comfortable, but my toes were hitting the end so I have to return and try ordering in a size 15. Brooks, Hoka, On, Sketchers all fit in a 14. These do not, so they run a little short on the length.

Nice, vibrant colors, fit as sized. Lower heel drop, which is what I like, tread on the sole is fairly aggressive. A good entry level trainer.

I was disappointed that this shoe was not wide enough around the toe of my foot. I thought it was a great looking shoe but unfortunately it is hard for me to find shoes that are wide enough to be comfortable.
