I need a wider toe box. I have been very satisfied with Asic GeL/Venture styles but really liked the look of this running shoe.
It was narrow in the arch. Excellent pad and support but the fit was not good for me.

These are not as comfortable as the Nimbus. I am a RN and I used them for my 12 hour shift. My feet snd legs were hurting but it is ok to use for errands.

They weren't really comfortable for me, and as I was walking my toes were basically saying hi at every move, like really sticking out at every step (I guess it's because the material is quite thin). I was afraid they might make a hole in the upper material of the shoes, lol. Returned them. I went with the GEL-EXCITE 8 and they're perfect.

If they came in wide, I think they'd be my favorite shoes. They seemed even narrower than normal regular width should be. They felt very comfortable, just way too narrow.

I have worn ASICS for years and have never had an issue with the shoes being too narrow… until this pair! I do have a borderline wide foot, but have never bought wide in ASICS. This shoe isn’t available in wide, so I have to return them. A real shame, because the cushioning and support are awesome.

They aren't as comfortable as they appear. My knees started hurting after my first walk in them. They need to be worn a few times to adjust to your body. I don't suggest running in themI strictly walk

These shoes do ride well when running! However there isn't enough padding in the back for my heel and I was left with large blisters. I just may need to find some thick sock. Crossing my fingers that will do the trick!

They're just ok not much different than a cheaper pair. Don't waste your money.

I loved the look of these and assumed by the excessive sole they’d be squishy, but less than an hour on my feet, I was in pain. Not as much arch support as I need, and the footbed is super stiff. I have RA though, so maybe these would work well for someone without joint pain!

I usually wear ASICS kayano but wanted to try these because I liked the gray with purple sole. The gray material seems cheap. They have a lot of cushion, but I felt they lacked the support I need in the arch. I have had 4 surgeries on my foot so I am super picky about what shoes I wear.

I wanted to keep and love these but couldn't. Mega comfortable cushion and a really nice looking shoe, but absolutely no arch support.

It is not as open in the toe area. Funny because I have the orange-colored Novoblast and it is perfect. This one is taking a while to break in.

I loved the look of these shoes, but they were NOT for me. When walking in them, as you can see the way they are made, they do not have a flat foot bed, and they throw me forward. I just did not like that feel. Had to return.

I had to send them back because something in the tongue region of the shoes kept rubbing on the top of my foot while I ran.

I have worn ASICS for many years and I've never had any that caused pain in my legs(from my knees to my ankles) like these. I always get a neutral shoe and these were stated to be neutral. They are extremely light and cushiony/springy and really attractive. Fit was perfect in my regular 7.5. I was thrilled when I first put them on but by the end of the day my legs were really hurting. I realized they are actually CAUSING my feet to pronate. I read other reviews that said they had a similar experience. I'm hoping to find an insert to counteract the issue. For the right person this would be a really great shoe. For reference, I always wear a 7.5 in ASICS and these were a perfect fit in the 7.5.

I have purchased the same size Asic running shoe (size 9 womens) twice before and they have been superior in all respects. They fit me better than any other brand d/t narrow heel, high arch and broader forefoot. I am hard to fit. These do not have the same foot bed; the forefoot is very narrow. The right shoe chafes badly at the base of the 5th toe. I purchase the last pair at a Dick's sporting goods store 2-3 years ago. I still have a pair from 2-3 yrs. prior to that. Both pairs have the wider toe box/forefoot. Even before trying them out I could see the difference.
I'd also recommend:
None. I will again go to brick and mortar stores for running shoes.

Great cushioning, but wore out quickly, & laces kept coming untied. Haven't had to double tie in years.

Not much cushion after 50miles. Blister forming along Achilles, again, after 50 miles. Weak shoelaces, I expect them to snap soon. Outer sole is taking a beating very well, though.
