I love the style and overall comfort of the shoe for the price; however, these fit smaller than my last pair of the same style from 2 yrs ago. I wear a 7.5 and they fit like a 7 -- would recommend a half size up.

Very comfortable for walking a lot, nice cushy support. I wouldn't mind them being a little wider for a wide width, but overall really happy with them.

Lining is thicker than last model so the fit is a bit snug. Otherwise they're comfortable.

The fit was good, just a tiny bit tight in the toes. Still comfortable enough to wear at work all day.

These look comfortable and well-made, and would have been great...if my daughter had been able to fit her feet inside. She couldn't even get them on. They were too narrow for her, even though we ordered a W.

felt true to size and with moderate arch support but very comfort for the daily work if someone who is on the feet for long.

I keep forgetting, they shortened the toe box in this brand. I usually size up a half size for tennis shoes. This one I have to size up a full size.

I wear a 7, so I thought a 7 wide (as my podiatrist suggested) would be perfect. I like these shoes, but my toes do feel slightly cramped at the top, yet not cramped enough for me to return and get a bigger size. I believe my toes will adjust as I wear them more. At the point of this writing, I've only worn them for about one hour. My previous Asics were also a 7 but not wide and my feet adjusted just fine.

I thought I would take a 7 1/2 but will have to return and order a size 8.

These shoes are TIGHT. Once I wedge my foot in and get my socks unbunched, they are quite comfortable and great support for walking and working out.

This was my first pair of ASICS, and I ordered the Gel-Content 7 on a friend's recommendation. I ordered the grey with pink trim -- very cute! I want to love these shoes, but the fit isn't quite right for me. I did the usual walk around the house for a while routine, and the heel rubbed. Not sure why, but it is a deal-breaker. Based on my experience with the RYKA Devotion 2, my favorite sneaker, I ordered a half-size up, a good decision. I also got wide, although I usually wear medium width. The length and width worked well, but the heel rub is causing me to return the shoe. That said, my friend loves this shoe and ASICS, as do many others. It is certainly worth checking out!

I ordered my usual Asics size (half up from my usual shoe size) and found these to still be too short. The arch didn’t seem to hit me quite right and my toes were immediately uncomfortable. So these went back.

I ordered a half size up, after returning the 8’s I normally wear. I am keeping them, because I like the style, and can’t imagine that 9’s would fit better, but they are a bit snug. I hope they stretch out with use. No cushy socks for this pair!

I ordered a full size larger than I usually do after reading reviews and I'm glad I did. But it fits perfectly!! (9.5w-->10.5w). Easy to wear with my orthotics and very comfortable.
I also love this color scheme.

These shoes are super cute and overall pretty comfortable. At first wear, they felt a bit tight and narrow, but loosened up after about 3 wears. They are great overall shoes and I wear them all day while coaching HIIT classes.

I wear a size 9 narrow in street shoes, and have always ordered asics in a 9.5 narrow (which are becoming quite rare?. This shoe I ordered in a 9.5 and it was too short. I reordered in a 10 and I’m happy as it fits my arch inserts too. My suggestion would be to order a size up in this shoe. That said, I really like the color combo and looks of this shoe which is why I pursued it. Oddly, I called Zappos about the 9.5 I was sending back, and the agent said they didn’t have the shoe in a 10. I later looked at Zappos on line, and they DID have the 10 which I ordered. Strange...... I’ve worn the shoe several days now, and it’s not an exquisite runner, but since I’m only walking it’s fine, especially at the price.

Fit was fine. I love Asics shoes. But I had to return these. The issue is with the soles being wider than the shoe. I trip easily and the first time I wore these I clipped my foot on the wide sole and fell sideways.

Fit true to size. Compared to the photograph on the website, the main charcoal color was lighter and the magenta and blue stripes were less vibrant in person. I prefer these duller colors. The cushion and support on this shoe are notably inferior to the Asics Cumulus, although this shoe seems to provide enough support for moderate-intensity exercise.
