I bought a size 8.5
A bit too snug in the upper part of the foot. Also could use 1/4” more in the length. A size 9 would be too long.
The most important qualification I need in any shoe, but especially a sport shoe is padding for my high arches. These sneakers do not have any accommodations for arch protection. Which I find unusual. The reviews I rea before buying contradicts this. Will be returning and need to find out how to go about this.

Shoes are attractive but really stiff for a sneaker. Too small in the length and had to return.

This shoe was so small I could hardly get my foot into it. Looked small immediately when I took out of box. Very stiff and very uncomfortable. Not a good walking shoe at all. Exchanged for something else.

The synthetic leather is very hot and stiff. I was disappointed in the performance.

Good for walking only. Too hard to run or do any aerobics with if.

Honestly I didnt even try them on because they looked like cheap plastic chinese made shoes. Amazon is selling a lot of cheap looking stuff these days along with Zappo. Price may be good but quality is poor. I would not recommend these shoes although I wear a lot of Asic brand shoes and until now have not been disappointed.

This is the absolute worst pair of Asics that I have ever bought. I have really liked this brand in the past, but will be evaluating others in the future

The fit was snug, but OK. However, the shoe seems cheap. There is another review with the shoe having tears on top. I could see that happening. Disappointing.

I got the same size as I normally do and these felt tight without socks, so I am going to return them.

This shoe felt very good on my feet at first but after walking in them for a couple of days, my left arch started hurting. I switched to other shoes and my foot gradually got better. Regretfully, I must return them.

The shoe fit was weird. This toebox is so flat. It pushes down on the top of my big toe.

Asics is the only sneaker brand I wear. This pair was so stiff and lacking flexability, that I could not get my foot into it even with a shoe horn. I am returning them. So disappointed.

The material was really thin, it felt like it would rip any minute and was ugly the shoes also no longer fit the same.

First time ASICS failed. So far, every pair always fit just right. Not this time. They do not fit like a "D". They do fit like the typical "B".

Cheap materials that do not flex but pinch. Seem poorly made and very uncomfortable, at lest to this reviewer, and in comparison to the GEL-CONTEND running shoe.

Noticed a chemical smell immediately. Tried the shoe on, nope. This shoe wasn't for me. I wear a size 10, I always upsize for athletic shoes. This shoe felt very small. Returned.

First thing I noticed was the chemical smell. Even after trying to loosen up the laces, these were way too small. I could hardly get them on.

How disappointing. I love Asics running shoes but this walker is not for me. I can handle it not looking good but it did not fit well at all. Tight, not very flexible. It felt kind of cheap. I'll stuck with Asics running shoes, even if I'm just walking!
