I hate writing bad reviews but these shoes were too tight, the sides were coming apart when I put my narrow foot into the shoe so the shoe and padding was pinching my feet when I walked, the back of the shoe is hard and not soft, and the shoe looks overall like bad quality (not like whats in the picture). I read the reviews so I am uncertain as to why I got such a bad shoe or maybe the bad reviews are not being posted. I am pretty sad because these were apart of my birthday present.

It is too narrow. I wear normal width shoes. The top fabric is very thin.

No support, probably ok for super flat feet.

I like the color; they seem to fit me feet tighter than the first pair if ASICS I purchased. I am hoping with more wear they'll loosen up.

Here's a tip, don't ever buy any ASICS that have an insole that says Everyday Comfort. That means the insole is a flat piece of foam and not the shaped insert that supports your arch. These shoes where fine when I replaced the insole with one from an older pair of ASICS.

I bought these shoes to replace my brooks and it ended up being a big mistake. Definitely brooks, at least for me, are the best for running

Hi! They are very comfortable however, they already need replacement because a hole formed in the fabric on my right shoe already from walking 2.5 miles/day since I received them. I can send photographs if that's helpful. Thanks, Yvonne

The shoe was okay, but because it was soooo cushioned my heel went up and down making uncomfortable for me.

I bought these in July and 6 months later the toe blew out. Im so disappointed because I just loved these shoes.

Overall these shoes are ok. However after wearing them only 4 or 5 times, the padding in the top of the heel wore down. Now every time I put my foot in the shoe, the padding creates a big bump in the heel which is very annoying. I have to go out of my way to pull the padding back to the top of the heel. I would not buy these again.

I gave them a shot, but was disappointed. I ordered a pair marketed as wide, but they are NOT wide. I’m returning them and will again have to look for mens sneakers that are not ghastly to look at. As a woman who does not have dainty little feet, the struggle is real.

These shoes are extra narrow. I couldn’t even get my foot in them and I have narrow feet. It’s interesting because I have the same shoe, same size and width of the ones I ordered I just wanted some replacements. Oh well

Disappointed - not only was the mint color rather unattractive in person but they were not comfortable! Plus I went with the size Zappos suggested and it was way too big.

I knew these were not 10W as soon as I took them out of the box. I held them next to my New Balance old shoes and they were a fraction shorter. Even New Balance doesn't make true 10Ws anymore. And 10 1/2 is too big. I have been shopping for new sneakers for over a year, and have to send them back every time. Why can't the shoemakers just stick with the right size, and if it takes an ounce of extra material, charge us for it instead of shorting the shoe??!

Honestly, these are the worst sneakers I have ever owned. I bought these because I thought the would give me the support I need during a kickboxing class. I was very WRONG. The front of my food slips and slides left to right. There is NO support on the sides. So dissapointed.

The sneaker unfortunately hit the back of ankle n scraped the skin.
Made to high rear or not enough padding there.

too narrow across the arch and ball of my foot, so narrow that when I opened the laces to put my foot in there was hardly enough lace left to tie the shoe. returning

I have worn Asics Gel-Excite running shoes in the past and I've always been happy with them. However, when I wore these shoes out for a run, they hurt my feet, legs, and hip terribly. I had to stop wearing them and return them. I will try another pair and see if that is any better.

I have decided to return these sneakers. They have an unpleasant smell and I would need an orthotic for proper arch support.

I walk between four and six miles every day and my shoes usually last about 400 miles or 4 months. These shoes have disintegrated in the heel after a month and a half (200 miles) to the point where the plastic liner rubbed both of my heels raw on today's walk. I'm not sure if these are still returnable but I'm very disappointed. I have purchased many pairs of Asics and this is a problem in about a third of the pairs I have worn. I always unlace my shoes before taking them off too as I know this helps. I wouldn't buy this pair again even though I got lots of compliments on the bright colors.

If you're an everyday runner (1-3 miler) they're fine. Not great, but fine. Compared to some of the higher end models of running shoes, these feel really hard. While my toes go to the perfect spot, when I look at them I feel like the shoes are so long and when I flex my feet they toe materials gap up. Like I said, they're fine, but spend the extra money and get a higher end shoe for the sake of your feet.
