I normally wear a B in all shoes and my feet are actually on the narrow side of B and these shoes are super tight on me. I can feel my littlest toes suffering. I’m returning for a D width because otherwise they’re good looking shoes and they seemed comfortable from what I could tell, but was difficult because of the width issue. Also, the laces really are short but we’ll see if that’s better in a wider version. The price is great so hope they work.

I have a very narrow foot. This is a great shoe for me, an price is good. I wish they had ivory this year for the new fall color. But the blue is great with jeans. Thanks Zappos for great service.

These are like very Asics gels I've ever bought, except that the shoelaces,(cute with the little purple ends to match the heels) are incredibly short! With my heal lift inside, I can barely tie the laces. Ok, in my previous pair of Asics they were too long, but this is too much the other direction.

These don't have as much arch support as the Gel Nimbus 21's, but a decent walking shoe. I don't like that the laces are so shortI can barely tie my shoes!

I had switched brands from New Balance to Asics. The Asics 9 Medium was snug in the arch, but felt like enough or too much in the toe - might do well to order a half size smaller and the wide width

I am sad that they don't fit as comfortable as my last pair of Asics, but the company did away with that style. Those were comfortable right out of the box. These I am trying to force myself to like them, but they seem to push me back onto my outside heels. They are well constructed and have a soft footing. I have worn them for nearly a month, but find that they cause me to walk differently than my body likes...lol!

Super cute shoe...love the hot pink! For some reason I'm falling between sizes lately in Asics. I went with the 9, because better a little big than slightly too short. Good shoes for indoor workouts.

I like them, lightweight, pretty, but the shoelaces are super short. I can barely get them tied into a bow.

The size felt fine - I order 10 for all sneakers and this fit perfectly so no issues: true to size. BAD NEWS: After wearing them around the house for less than an hour, they just don't feel that great and if I even try to risk wearing them for an outing, I can tell my feet will be *** hurting *** (and I'm not even talking about a major heavy walking theme park visit). What the heck happened to this brand- I've tried so many options. My go to has been the FuzeX Lyte for a long time and now that's gone so I guess I'm going to be shopping for a new sneaker brand.

The shoe overall was very nice, but it was extremely tight on my foot even though I bought half a size bigger then I usually am.

I am a huge fan of the excite 7s. These are not as comfortable to run in but are a good walk around shoe.

Shoes were ok but i agree with some of the other reviewers about the width. The toe box was too narrow even in a Wide. Had to return them

The main issue with these shoes was the tight toe box. The shoes and the box stated wide but they felt more narrow than normal.

The shoes look nice and maybe good for walking. But they are too heavy for exercise. My feet feel loaded as if i am carrying some weight on my feet. Too late to return but certainly look else where if you are planning to work out in these.
