Comfortable walking shoes. No break in period. Feels a little wider than my other Asics tennis shoes. Colorful bright turquoise.

These are by far the most comfortable I've had in recent memory. I hope they are around a little longer so that I can buy another pair in my size and in a suitable color. Great shoes!

I get so many compliments on these shoes. The Asics Gel-Excite is the shoe that I'vepurchased the most in the last couple years. Amazing colors & fits well.

Feels good. I have very low arches and have been feeling a little discomfort after running. These feel great. They hug my feet. I only use them for casual walking. Not walking as exercise.

I have extremely flat feet and I have been looking for a shoe for working out and long distance walking. The gel excite 8 is finally the answer! They are so comfortable with the foam insert and give me the support I need. I got them in French blue/champagne and they are super cute! Fit true to size!

Great everyday shoe. I bought these to use when I'm not running. They feel great on my feet. I like the bright subtle colors. They definitely hug my feet and I like the feel of the support.

I’ve been looking for a sneaker to support my flat feet for walking and workouts. The ASICS Gel excite 8 are perfect! I got them in the navy with gold accents and they look so stylish. Love the amplifoam arch inserts! My feet have never been happier :)

I’m a avid ASICS wearer. I have a semi wide foot with a bunion and high arches. Love the material. I normally wear a medium width but this last time I ordered the excite 8 they were way narrow. Very uncomfortable. I do a lot of walking. I actually found some Excite 8 in a wide. Excellent! So much more comfortable. Only thing is it seems they are hard to find in wide with. I’ll buy again.

Love these lightweight shoes! I’m usually a 10.5 in ASICS and these were the same. (Nike I’m an 11) The shoe gives me great arch support and they’re super lightweight for errands and quick walks around the neighborhood.

This is my second pair...I bought the Pink Salt/Pure Silver the first time and a week later I bought the White/Ocean Decay...the reason...seems the toe box is being made shorter on other brands and if I tried to go up a size the arch was off....this style had enough support for me to walk on any surface and a longer toe box. I also like the lighter colors for the warm weather.

Perfect shoes. Especially for those who have narrow heels, but a larger width up front. Great for those with bunions or those who have had surgery.

Fit is great, I need a 10.5 wide which is impossible to find in stores. Thankfully Zappos has a lot of options!!
Color is nice, they fit great and are super comfortable!

I ordered a size 8, which is my standard size and they fit perfectly. I wear these to work and do 12+ hours on my feet and I have no complaints. As far as the style goes, everyone at work always asks about them and where I got them. Can’t beat em’!

I absolutely love this shoe. I have 4 Morton Neuromas on my feet from toe boxes not being broad enough. I can fan my toes out in these shoes and they are so comfortable. I have worn “walking shoe types” forever and thought I would try a running shoe. before I purchased this shoe I read the reviews. I was concerned for the people who said they couldn’t get their foot in the shoe. I find the laces area tight but use a shoehorn and my foot slips right in. lightweight and oh so comfy. Highly recommend this shoe. I replace my shoes every 3 months so will definitely buy another pair!!
