Love these shoes. Only issue is that they are a little tight over the toes. I’m on day two of wearing these for work. They are slowly stretching out on the toe area for me.

Absolutely loved the style and comfort of this shoe. My only issue was it felt a little tight in the toe area. I tried wearing them around the house for a few hours but decided to return them and went with a different pair of Asics.

I’ve been wearing these Asics for a few years now. I’ve tried gt 2000 and kayano, but haven’t found that they last any longer so I keep coming back to the cheaper. Some reviews lead me to go up a whole size, but these fit me better just going up a half a size as I do in all running shoes. They work good for my plantar fasciitis and narrow feet that I have.

I really wanted to like these shoes but overall the fit for me was poor. Had to return. Toe box felt too narrow. Likely will need to order half a size up from my typical shoe size

These are lightweight, but somewhat narrow. The toe box seems to lack vertical space so my big toe (which points upward) feels under pressure. Overall, I like the shoe, but they will not be a favorite for me.

I haven't bought any GT 1000s in a couple of years and these ran very narrow compared to my older pair and seemed to make my feet tilt inward more.

The left shoe feels really odd....I hope this will not affect my hips or knees! It feels as though the ball of the shoe is more padded causing the heel to feel like it is much lower than my right.

Love ASICS. I go for the more classic styles. They look nicer.

i always wear a Size 9 1/2, but these were too small.
Will try a 1/2 size up.
I like them. Here's hoping.

I had tried my daughter's new sneakers on - same size 5-1/2W - and they felt like a good fit. The pair I received feel a fit tight across the instep. I'm hoping they stretch as I wear them. Otherwise I love the color and the price. My daughter has bought more than 10 pair through Zappos and has always loved her sneakers.

Very narrow toe box. However, 1/2 size is already too long. my heal is slipping out of the shoe as I walk. Used to wear Asics shoes all the time in the past- now they look and feel completely different way

I have never had to wear a wide shoe in my life, but in this case I wish I'd listened to the reviews and gone for the wide. These are very good, well-made shoes--pretty much everything I look for to wear in my medium-impact aerobics classes. But they are definitely narrow through the toe area. I decided to keep them and hope they'd stretch a bit, but in my first class some of my toes started feeling numb, so that may not have been the best choice. So my recommendation would be to go ahead an buy these--in WIDE!

Had to return because not enough room in the toe area, seemed narrow at toe although the length seemed fine, so I’m wondering if I need 1/2 size larger to get the room in toe, but then afraid they will be too long. Other than that they were very comfortable and I wish I could keep them. Good support yet light weight.

I usually wear size 12M. But lately the Asics toe box seems smaller than usual, so i ordered 12.5D. So the fit is better.not like I usually like but better in the toe box for comfort.

I needed a solid black shoe for my dance team outfit. That is hard to find. After adding my own arch support under the removable insole, these feel great! I think they look a bit dorky, but they are growing on me. And the comfort is wonderful, so I can overlook the look.

Wanted to like these, but the D width was too narrow for my toes. Had to return.

These felt true to size for me... The back came up too high for me which I know would lead to a blister. Otherwise, I loved the style and price.

Comfortable sneaker for the most part. I have flat feet and overpronate. So I have picky feet lol. But first day I broke them in for a few hours then wore to the gym w success.

Good shoe for overpronators with lots of cushioning but these weren't the shoe for me. Just a bit too small and the drop was too much for my liking

I wear a 7.5, and usually get an 8 in an athletic shoe, but need to get a full size larger in these. I can tell they will be very comfortable and bouncy and I probably won't need my usual orthotic insert until the original one wears down.

Pretty good. Although I have "flat feet" I'm not much a an over-pronator, and this is more of a stability shoe than I'm used to. Like all ASICS, I had to size way up to have room for my weird toes (they kind of curl under). Non-running shoe size 8.5 - 9, ASICS shoe size 10. Not a problem except when I look down and see my clown feet. Anyway, I've worn these for a few shorter 5-mile or so runs including hillwork and speedwork, and so far so good. Planning to wear them on a 10-mile race in a couple days so we'll see what happens. Fairly good cushioning, but a bit stiffer overall than I'm used to. As usual, heel is a bit slippy but with the extra hole and my special lacing (you can find it online), that's taken care of. My main ASICS to this point has been the Gel Nimbus, and I'll continue to buy that one as well, but at this point I can't say I won't also replace these when they wear out.
