The shoe is too light and the material is very thin and is not durable, in my opinion, especially the vamp! The vamp bends pokes your foot in an uncomfortable way. Returned immediately upon initial trial!

Never received shoe, still in Chino CA with FedEx over 1 month. Asics customer service is unhelpful. Shipment date keeps changing so I cant do anything for 60 days.

This style has too narrow of a toe and then a very wide area towards the arch. I might have put up with the very wide area but narrow toe box is not comfortable for walking. I walk 3 miles a day, I need a comfortable fit.

I normally wear a size 7. Seeing the recommendation to size up half a size, I first ordered a 7 1/2. It was too small, so I exchanged it for an 8. That one was a little too long, but also too narrow - though I don't have a wide foot. Very disappointing, but... there's always this kind of possibility buying shoes when you can't try them on first. I appreciate Zappos' return policy!

This shoe is good but not quite as comfortable as my Asics running shoes, as I had hoped. It meets the requirements for Nursing school (solid color and material) and I've worn Asics for 15 years, since recommended by my podiatrist. It runs small so I had to get a half size larger and Wide Width. Overall, I am satisfied with them.

This shoe is good, I purchased for Nursing school as it meets the requirements of solid color and material (vinyl) but it isn't quite as comfortable as my favorite styles of Asics running shoes. This style either runs small or the material doesn't allow for any "give" so I had to return for half size larger in Wide. I've been wearing size 8 medium width in Asics shoes since recommended by my podiatrist 15 years ago...

Not enough support in my opinion for a work shoe. My ankle began to ache after wearing these shoes. I think I will have to stick with a walking type shoe with more support for better comfort of my feet.

These shoes are not wide at all. I can wear a regular wide show in other brands.

Perfect fit. They look great.
My gait is more balanced.
My knees and feet feel much better after long walks.

I think this is my second review, but these walking shoes are worth a second look. I wear a size 10, Asics suggested going up a half size. The 10.5 were too short and tight. I exchanged for an 11, and I got a comfortable shoe, great fit, and support. I walk 3-5 miles/day, and these are working really well for me. I had a podiatrist appointment a few weeks ago, and I wore these shoes. My DPM usually recommends two other brands. He agreed this was a great shoe for my feet, and said I'd made a great choice. I would definitely buy again.

This is a great walking shoe. I followed Asics advice and bought a half-size larger. I needed a full size larger for a great fit. Good support, a little bit stiff to start, but I walk 3-5 miles/day, and the shoe is working great for me now. I would definitely buy again.

I had an older version of these and loved them. Super comfortable, felt like they we made for my feet.
These, not so much. Too tight and narrow, even though measured my feet properly. The interior feels like plastic as well. Last pair had a fabric/soft quality that I really enjoyed.

They don't stretch out to your feet and require a lot of breaking in

I wasn't excited about the styling of these shoes - they were a bit too "old" looking. I'm looking for a more stylish shoe with comfort to walk lomg distances.

Comfortable but if you work in a profession where you are on your feet or walk a lot there is not enough cushion. My feet hurt after a long day.

I really want to love these, but they are WAY TO SMALL. I've worn Asics for years and never had this problem. Might be more of a manufacturing issue than anything because it didn't seem to be a problem in all of the reviews, but it did come up several times. Will try again with a larger size...they look like great shoes.

I am a big Asics fan but did not like these shoes. They were very comfortable and lightweight but clunky and a little stiff.
