Customer Reviews ASICS Sportstyle Gel-Bnd

These shoes arrived quickly even though we are in a pandemic. They were comfortable right out of the box and they fit true to size. Like others have said the shoes tongue is very stiff and this is true it was very stiff. But got softer as I wore them through out day. Can't say enough good things about this shoe.

I believe this is my second review on this pair due to having to ship them back for an exchange, but in any event, they're great shoes! I've never had Asics, only Sketchers and New Balance but these are a nice change of pace. Soon as you step in them, you can feel the support. Now, it remains to be seen how well the gel foam that Asics uses holds up to the memory foam that Sketchers brags about but so far I have no complaints. I did have to trot around my apartment a few times to make sure they would feel right. In addition to that, I will say you will probably hear a slight rubber sticking sound when you walk on flooring. I took notice to that right away which led to Asics recommending an exchange through Zappos. After I received the new and current pair, same story. I will say this, that that noise does wear off. I tried telling Asics and Zappos I believed it was the break in for the tread and it basically is. A few trips with them on, and it likely will wear off. Other than that, this is a pretty bangin pair of sneakers at a good price! You probably won't get this quality anywhere else!

First time for myself investing in Asics actually. Was a lifelong patron of Sketchers but wanted to try something different. Mostly because Sketchers memory foam doesn't hold up the best. With that being said, these shoes pretty much fit the bill! Very comfortable on the feet and especially walking with them. Only problem I had was something on the tread. It was kind of strange because what I felt was normal, Asics felt was a manufacture defect in that they were making sticking noises when I walked on my kitchen floor. They were ready to offer my a free exchange before I informed them that they were purchased through Zappos. With that being said, after I explained my situation to the wonderful representative named Emily, she arranged to have a new pair sent to me, again at no cost because of the manufacture defect. All this said, I'm ready for my new pair of Asics to get here this week and Zappos truly has the best customer service reps! They're not kidding when they say they're geared toward customer service and it shows! Thank you again!
