This is probably the most comfortable shoe I have ever had on my foot except that it is the narrowest shoe I have had on my foot! I ordered this in a 10.5 Wide. I had to shove my foot in. I walked in them for about 10 minutes. The support and sole were so soft and supportive from toe to heel. The padding was excellent around the shoe. I am so sorry to have to send them back. ASICS needs to reframe this shoe size. It felt like a narrow, and looked like a narrow shoe. Definitely not a wide. They look great too.

These felt snug but as I wore them around the house they felt more comfortable, however, when I wore them while on the elliptical for 35 minutes, my toes were getting numb. Loved the look but sent them back.

I'm a Jazzercise instructor and use these shoes for high impact aerobics 4-5 times per week. These fit well right off the bat. Normally, I have to "get used" to new shoes, but haven't had any issues with them. Highly recommend.

I took a chance & bought this as a gift for one of the housekeepers at the hospital I work for. She LOVES them. Because she is on her feet all day & sometimes for double shifts comfort is key. These shoes definitely fit the bill. Usually by the end of the day she is out of her shoes and into a pair of flip flops but lately she comes in hearing the sneakers and most importantly leaves wearing them. No more going home in flip flops!

I only wore these shoes a few times before my left toe started poking through the material, making a hole. Very disappointing. I really liked the sneakers.

Horrible! I had these shoes for about 3 weeks and the mesh completely ripped in the toe area in the same spot when I was running. Love the colors but would not recommend!

Loved how these shoes looked online and when I got them home. But as soon as I tried them on they had to go back. I already wear ASICS in other models so I have never had a problem with fit being true to size but these were way too small in length and width in my regular size.

These shoes fit me so well - my foot is a bit more narrow, so not sure if this would be a bad fit for wider feet. However, these are a God send for me. I'm not a runner, but do exercises via gym and wear these everywhere. They seem to help me walk a little better after 2 hip replacements on right side.

This is the second pair I have ordered, I love them. They go with everything and are small and very comfy. In fact, they have helped my feet that were giving me an issue.

I love these shoes. I have to admit I always wear Asics so the brand is not new to me. I was nervous when I first put them on because they felt too tight. I am now on day 3 of wearing them and do not regret my purchase. They have good support and do stretch out after the first few hours. I am on my feet all day and have no pain with these. I would definitely recommend them.

I always buy ASICS brand shoes. I have flat feet and they are very supportive. I put my custom arch supports right inside the shoe without any problems.

took a couple weeks to break in, but I do really like these shoes. Good support, fit well. Normally a 7.5-8, and these in 8 fit just fine. Feels firm when I run with a little give, I think they're good.

In all fairness, this is the first Asics shoe I’ve had. Previously, I’ve worn New Balance and Vionic shoes in sizes 8 and 8.5. The Kumo- Lyte size 8.5 seems to run about a half size longer than my New Balance 8.5 shoes. Other reviewers have noted that this shoe runs narrow. That works for me as I have narrow feet. There’s plenty of cushion and I feel no wriggle during my walks. I’m a newbie to the Asics world and will explore other styles in the future.

The length is perfect for my growing daughter - they do seem narrower than normal, or they just start out very snug and they'll loosen up as she breaks them in. She does not have wide feet at all - definitely on the narrow side of medium - so the snugness around the sides was a surprise.

These shoes are so comfortable that I am actually online now buying another pair. I've had the black/rose gold for about 8 months now and wear them almost daily (running or walking the dogs) and they still look pretty decent but it's time for a new pair. Super comfy right out of the box and I am happy at how long they have lasted. I wear a 7.5 in shoes and wear these in the same size. I buy Asics b/c of their great arch support and these do not disappoint. I have a history of plantar fasciitis.

These are amazing. I love that when I jog it doesn't feel like I'm hitting pavement.
