I’m a size 11. I ordered these in an 11 and I got the wide just in case. They are much too small and uncomfortable. Nice looking shoe otherwise, but the wide felt more narrow than my medium width sneakers.

These shoes are cute, but overall I didn't like them. They felt clunky on my feet. They were not at all flexible. The cushion inside felt barely better than ones I was replacing. My feet even tingled a bit after my runs. I'm thankful for Zappos Runlimited return policy, because I've already sent them back

The inner padding was bunched up at the toes and not as supportive as other Asics I bought in the past

These felt a little flimsy to me. I prefer the Nimbus. Feel more supported and better made

Great looking shoes but they feel about a 1/2 size too big. Going to order an 8.5 and see if it fits better.

Looks great. Toe box is a little narrow, but I hope it stretches with wear. Not many options in 10-1/2 so I was happy to find it.

These shows have given me such sore blisters! The rest of the fit is good but they run very painfully

I've been wearing Asics for years. They're the only brand of sneakers I've worn for a very long time, and this is the first pair I've ever had that felt narrow.

Very lightweight, but not as supportive as other Asics that I've had in the past. Wide, but also not quite as wide as other Asics.

Not true to size. Order up at least a half size. The shoe is comfortable but my toes hurt everyday.

The material used to construct the uppers was stiff. Also, the shoe seemed to be rude in the heels. When I walked my feet were sliding up abs down in the back of the shoe.

The heel was too wide on my foot. Also the material used to construct the shoe upper was too stiff.

The website suggested I get size 9 even though I wear 8-1/2. The shoes are definitely true to size 9...too big, but I am just wearing thicker socks and pulling the laces tight. They work. They are darker than they appeared online, but I like the colors either way.

The shoe was quite comfortable, but after three months of dog walking on trails with some decent up and down sections the foam padding in the heel had worn through to the point where I am replacing them.

I didn't try out this shoe because i couldn't get one to fit me. I bought it it in size 42 ,my usual size,which was too small,very tight and short and size 43 which was too big,slipping off my heel with reasonably thick socks on,not in any way comfortable at all. I've worn only asics for exercising all my life snd have found they never need breaking in whrn new. Something has chsnged in the manufacturing and its not good.

It's a very nice shoe but I'm normally 7 (USA) or 38 (EU) and I feel them tight. I still don't know if I will be able to wear them to make my running training

Look well made but they fitted too small, possibly because of the amount of cushion in the shoe, id go a size up. Had to return them.

Unattractive colour, really dull, and rather wide at the toe.

The traction worked well on mountain trails for light hiking. However, they rubbed blisters on my heels the first few wears despite thick wool socks, and the toe fabric has a small hole after just 2 weeks of light wear.

I ordered a 10.5 medium last year. After several hiking trips this summer, I decided I needed something a tad larger, as my pinky toe was smashed against the side. I ordered an 11. However, the 11 was the EXACT SAME SIZE as the 10.5. Very frustrating. I then ordered an 11W, thinking that even if I had the same length, a little extra width would help. The 11W was the exact same size as the 10.5M and the 11M. It is really hard to find half sizes once you get above a 10. I really hate that Asics is being dishonest with their sizing. It is one thing of their 10.5 isn't the same as someone else's; but it is really annoying that they don't really make these special sizes; instead they just make one size and put a different label on it.

Great quality, support is very good, however
I don't believe this shoe is made on a women's last. The toe box is generous enough, but the heel is tremendously wide for a medium width shoe. If anything my shoe width runs between medium & wide. I laced my shoe using a heel lock lacing technique. It helps but my heel still slips significantly. For this reason, I believe these shoes are just men's shoes that had women's sizing and colors slapped on them.
