Be careful when buying ASICS full leather shoes. The width was correct but the full leather models seem to be tighter across the ball of the foot - even at a half size larger - than ones made from open mesh material. Always buy at least one half or a full size larger.

Fit seemed right on. I've been wearing Asics for years and the only problem I've ever had has been the mesh front models sometimes wearing a hole above my big toe. These have a synthetic layer over the front and I don't anticipate a problem. Very comfortable.

I read other reviews that said that the leather uppers walkers ran a bit small, so I ordered half size bigger, but I stuck with my normal medium width. The fit is excellent. This is my second pair of Asics walkers, and I wish I had done the same with the first pair which have always been just a bit snug even after breaking in. The quality seems as good or better than my previous pair. I'm happy I listened to the reviews, and I am happy I have these great shoues.

Wanted a shoe similar to my ASICS running shoes that I could take on vacations to wear to most restaurants with nicer clothing, and these fit the bill. Dual purpose: running shoe comfort for daily walking but nice enough to wear in evenings. Like all ASICS in my experience, order one full size larger than street shoes.

Way too small, way too tight, not enough toe box room and felt flimsy with little support. I ordered 1/2 size larger and almost couldn't get the shoe on my foot.

My 3rd pair of Asics Walking shoes. They are better than a running shoe for walking. I walk 3 - 4 miles at a time and really like these shoes.

Fist of all the carrier miss placed the shoes ! The fit is snug (over time they may stretch out) a half size larger may have been a better fit. I wear a 7 1/2 medium in a New Balance tennis shoe and in the Asics they are a very snug fit, but I'm expecting them to stretch a bit ! Next time I'll try a size 8 medium.

claims to be E E E E width, NOT TRUE, more like just Wide. False labeling. So another brand wasted my time, and lost money for their pocket.

Size and width are perfect for me. They’re as comfortable as any shoe I’ve ever worn.

Others posted that a person may want to order shoes a half size larger, which I did; shoes fit perfectly. My brother-in-law, a medical doctor, saw I had purchased ASICS shoes and mentioned that he and a number of his staff wear them because of the comfort. Their hospital is quite large and he puts on quite a few miles during his day.

These fit me well. I use Pinnacle insoles in them for better arch support. Good for long walks. I will buy another pair in the future.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Shopping for shoes online always makes me nervous, but in this case it worked out.

FINALLY! Hubby ordered 5 pair of this brand in his usual size of 11 medium width. Three styles had to go back since they were too narrow. He had a pair of brand new ASICS in his closet that was about 3 years old but were never worn. He started wearing them 2 weeks ago (and threw out his old cruddy ASICS) but wanted to order another so he always has a fresh / new pair. Each pair was a different style but the same size. What a difference in fit!!

Great fit and comfortable right out of the box. I’m a real ASICS fan and have worn running an other sport shoes from ASICS over several years. My favorite brand!

Very comfortable sneaker. Looks better than the photo. The padding around the ankle (that you can see in the photo) feels very soft and comfortable. I have some arthritis in my big toes and this sneaker has been very comfortable to walk in. I have narrow foot and fits me well. Great sneaker that was reasonably priced as well.
