I was so excited to buy these as replacements to my gel-excite 7 that were worn out in the heels. I walk 3-5 every day so it is important to find comfortable shoes to support my feet. I put these on and right away noticed that they were not as roomy in the toe box but was something I could live with. I began using and after just a couple of uses at a couple of miles each i noticed i was having heel pain on just one foot. I started alrernating shoes to see if it was just due to making the switch to new shoes. Unfortunately it was not so i looked in the one shoe snd figured out the problem. The insole curves up the back of the shoe slightly to give more heel support but for me it is causing pain. It only happens in one shoe because my other foot is slightly smaller. Now i have a brand new pair of shoes that are just collecting dust unless i can figure out a fix for the one insole.

Surprisingly narrow. I usually wear size 5.5 in ASICS, decided to get 6M based on other reviews that shoes run small. I could not even get my foot in!
Really disappointed in size.

They are too uncomfortable, too tight. It needs a better design

I have always worn a 7 1/2 and my feet tend to be narrow but I always wear socks. Shoes without socks were much too short and much too narrow.

These run so small! I ordered a 7.5 for my daughter as she’s outgrown her size 7 ASICS. These shoes were 7.5 but smaller than her size 7. If you have your heart set on one of these shoes, definitely order a size up, at least.

fit was too tight and they were too small too tight in the toe area. Used to sketchers fitting true to size and so lightweight also good support. Have foot problems bunions and other problems so maybe just not the shoe for me.
