There must be some break in time because these are cutting into the backs of my achilles tendon area. I have to wear higher socks & a bandaid on both feet. They are super comfortable & sleek looking though!

Comfortable, attractive. Runs a little small I think. I ordered my normal size and it's a tad snug with socks, but not enough to blister or hurt when I run.

Nice price and swift postage. Unfortunately the shoes were different shades of red to each other so had to return. Returns process is straightforward.

Comfortable, stylish but the side tends to fall when walking.

I bought a pair of these in the past, I don't know what has changed but they don't feel as comfortable as they used to be, I'll carry on wearing them and hope they become more comfortable, bit disappointed as I was going to buy cheaper trainers but decided to go with these as the last pair were extremely comfortable

The shoes are comfortable, but whatever the soles are made out of, they are probably the noisiest athletic shoes I have owned. It sounds like you're walking on crushed rock. I could remember when athletic shoes were referred to as sneakers. Well there's no sneaking up on anybody with these.

My normal size is 11 so I ordered 11 1/2 since I usually size up in a sneaker. They are advertised as true to size and reviewers seemed to agree. Well, They were way too short so I exchanged for a 12 and low and behold, they seemed as short as the others I had returned. So I returned again and will just try another brand.

The sneaker are comfortable but the shoe box was very damaged and put a crease on the right shoe

I'm a size 6.5 and have had many of the gel pulse trainers but these are tight across the foot. They also rub on the back of my ankle. Wouldn't purchase a gel pulse 12 again

Beautiful runners but inaccurate sizing. Bought these for my wife and she wore them once thinking they would loosen up. She has several other asics for cross comparison of size.

I usually buy New Balance ( size 12 4E ) as their sizes and more importantly width and arches seem to run true to size. I wanted to branch out and see what else there was out there for people with large wide feet. I gave these every type of workout and short of leaving laces very loose felt both tight and tiring on my feet in less than an hour. Had no choice but to send back

Very good support and mad great looking shoes however material on top definitely won't last, like many of my previous ASICS the sole and cushion etc are always excellent but top material doesn't last as long and thus one looks particularly of poorer fabric quality so I returned it

Shouldn't be advertised as running shoes. The label on them and inside the sole says "everyday comfort" - they are great for if you are on your feet all day, but not for running.

These shoes have absolutely been torturing my Achilles heels to where I’m sore for a few days after 3-4 mile walks. I haven’t experienced this with other shoes. At first I thought that I just had to break them in but it’s been nearly two months.
Hugely disappointed because I love the way they look. They’re also a tad narrow even in the 4E width.

These shoes look great and have good heel cusion. The toebox doesn't have as much cushion as i would like to truly make them daily runners. The description stated it had extra cushion. Maybe in the heel...

Maybe my expectations were to high. I won't admit to my husband that these are not at all comfortable. I have had them for about a week.
