Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Scram® 5

These shoes feel great, but I’m a runner. My first 6 mile run these shoes gave me a huge blister. My second run was even worse. These shoes are fine for a walk around town, but if you are a serious runner, don’t buy these!

Unfortunately, these were too large. I always wear a 7 in sneakers, so that's what I ordered. Imagine my surprise to find they were too big, especially the left foot which is smaller than my right. I had seen reviews that said these ran small and I almost got a whole size larger than usual. Good thing I didn't. I know my feet didn't shrink, so why were these bigger than a size 7 usually is? I really had a hard time deciding, though, whether or not to send them back and get a 6-1/2. I did end up doing that, but am hoping they won't be too small and then I'll be back where I started from. Maybe on the day these particular sneakers were made- in a factory in China, I'm sure- someone wasn't paying attention to the sizing. I think they would have been comfortable if the size was right. Didn't feel that there was much arch support. I wouldn't say exactly "no arch support," but more like very little. But with the right size, that might be different.

I was hoping these would be comfortable since I like the style a lot but they had zero arch support and the heal part felt too loose. It felt like my foot was going to slip out of them every time I took a step. They might be better for someone with wider feet.

I really liked the look and colors of this shoe. However the size 8 felt too wide. For me, the shoe did not have much arch support. After one wearing, my knees were aching because I felt no support.

I used to love Asics, but these feel like cheap imitations. Tight in the upper footbed, little arch support, and the collar rubs below the ankle. These shoes have a lot less cushion too. Bye, Asics.

Terrible on trails. Slipping and sliding on decomposed granite and loose rocks. No stability. Runs large. And the fabric on the shoe that runs along the ankle frayed on the first wear. Terrible.
