My husband owned a pair of the Sonoma 4 and wore them until they fell apart. Ordered this new pair and was pleased to have the fit and feel the same. He also likes the color!

i have very wide feet and swear by asics 4E running shoes. Tried the trail running shoes for the first time. Great support and comfort. These were comfortable from day 1.

They fit perfect but after heading out for a 5 km run they start to rub near the Achilles I put it down to them being new so on my second 5 km run I came home with bad cuts on both feet so I will not be wearing these Asics again . Unusual for this to happen to a good brand.

It runs a bit smaller than other brands. But the cushioning is very comfortable.

Used to wear ASICS. Wear a 10.5 in most shoes including ASICS. These are just too narrow. Must return them. Trying Brooks cascadia.

These are not in any way a 4E, at least not the pair I received. I would call it a standard width at best. They’re great looking shoes, but not for those of us with wide feet.

the fit is great for a normal/narrow foot, wide enough toe box but not too wide. excellent support. there is minimal heel lift when running using this shoe, and the style is nice.

Very comfortable insole while very supportive. Size seems to run 1/2 size big. I'm normally a 10.5 but needed an 11

Very nice looking shoes. However, while they may be sold as “extra-wide” (4E) these shoes do not fit much wider than a standard width. As such they were returned.

Narrow Toebox. Unfortunately the Asics brand simply does not work for me. All their shoes marketed as "wide" are cut narrow with a pointed toebox.

New Balance is one of the only options for wide feet

I used to wear Asics because they made a wide running shoe but the last few pair I bought are more narrow in the 4E width and don't work for me anymore. This is a good looking sneaker but it's just too narrow. I switched to Brooks a couple of years ago and will stick with them. Sorry Asics. Thanks for the memories.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks. Nike.

Asics used to be my first choice but for some reason newer models have very narrow toe box. My foot is not even a narrow foot and this Med width is squeezing the toes. Very odd.

The aesthetics of the shoe are great but the quality of the sole is poor. I picked this shoes for trail running, however, there's no absorption of impact and it tired my feet really quickly. The price is too high for a product like this, would prefer brooks over this shoes

First off I don't dif how your wording says "Felt" a size smaller/larger. My shoes WERE a full size small, didn't just "feel" like it. Ordered the same size as always, never a problem until now. Sent them back immediately.

I really love my Asics. So far I own the quantum 360's, nimbus 23 and now these. The Sonata are not as comfortable as the other 2, but they are meant for trail walks. Bit narrow so go half a size up. Very light.
