The only shoe I've ever felt like I was one full shoe size smaller than I normally am. Had to exchange for a half size smaller... And think I could go even one additional half size down. However they are super comfy and breathable!

Good shoes for the price. Not great as they have better shoes in the upper end of the brand. I wear them mostly around my home and yard.

Good Shoe. Seems sturdy and well made. Sole is a bit stiffer than I like and footsteps a bit loud on solid floors. Overall a good purchase.

Very lightweight shoe and it feels well made to todays standards. The heel has significant cushion and feels good when picking up your pace. This shoe does fit narrow though, which is odd because i have rarely noted that in an Aisic shoe, or other off- the- shelf shoe.

This is my third pair is Excites and as an avid walker/hiker I can honestly say they are the best for the money. That being said, I have a fibroma so I buy 4E and I swear they get more narrow each generation

Just got it 3 days ago. Toe box is wider than expected. Cloudy cushion, but maybe too soft for long distance running. The lip makes it easy to take on/off.

I have wide feet and these fit perfectly. I do think there could be slightly more arch support and my feet start to feel like they're taking a pounding after around 8 or 9 miles at a time, but overall these are a a very good running shoe and I'm happy enough with them for my daily runs.

It is quite comfortable. The shape is bit wide from toes. The color is very attractive.

Decent shoe, especially for the price. However, I use a custom ankle foot orthotic in right shoe, and need lots of room in the shoe. These shoes were just too tight. If I unlaced the shoe nearly all the way, I could get my foot in. But, it was just too tight. I will keep either a NB 840v5 or a Brooks Ghost14. They are both more roomy and comfortable, albeit much more expensive.

? New Balance, Brooks

Great shoe. I got these to replace my gel-excite 6's that were going strong (but stankin') after almost two years of steady use. I feel like the 8's run a little bigger but not so big that I'm dropping down a size.

These are great as a walking shoe, or for someone who has a lot of heel strike

I wear a 4E shoe and the trend toward lumping together a few wider sizes into an XW category is a bit frustrating. The problem is that to accommodate wider feet, laces need to be loosened, but there is not a corresponding increase in lace length, leaving you with only a little slack to tie into the world's tiniest knot.
