Felt true to size but not half size large they run well my pair runs a little bigger feels a little loose but i can live with it, wide is good i was worried they be narrow i have a wide foot but not wide enough to get the wide size, i also have a DVT so my foot and ankle swells and these fit good on my foot with some room to spare. they may feel loose to me because i do not wear regular socks but compression stockings which are very thin so they may very well run true to size. Everyone complains about the laces, they are flat laces and not round ones i have no problem with them in fact the flat ones stay tied better. They are a little pointed at the toe but my foot fit comfortably. the silver looks grayer than silver. All in all, a good pair and Zappo's good fast delivery as always.

I don't run but wear Asics for cushioning and arch support due to torn tendons in my ankles caused my very high arches. Asics are the best that I've found for cushion and also accommodate my custom orthotics. I wish they designed more subtle "street" styling, but these aren't too bad. Also, I compared these to many higher end Asics gel runners and actually preferred these.

Walk a lot on the trail with my two furry friends. Asics offer a degree of comfort and hold up well.

I've been buying ASICS Gel-Venture or Gel Contend for several years for myself and my twin boys. We go through two pairs each year. We buy new ones around Eastern and then again in the fall right before school starts. These are reasonably-priced, comfortable, reliable shoes.

Okay guys, there were fine even if they ran a little small in the toe box. HOWEVER - they are so wide beyond the arch that they literally felt like clown shoes. Just crazy.

Still ASICS! This was a miss though.

Been wearing Asics for years as a runner. Now that those days are behind me, Asics still are great shoes: fit, comfort & style.

The Right shoe did not fit right. The toe area in the right shoe really rubbed hard on my middle toes, I loosened the lace and walked with it that way, but no relief. I wore them to church and home. No relief even with the laces loosened. It is probably a manufacturing defect.
My oldies but goodies are still hanging in there, but needs to be replaced ,and so this order.
Thanks, and Shalom Aleichem...

So the child says they are comfy and wide. The appear true to size, but seem to run a smidge bigger than the saucony of the same size.

I walk in these shoes 5 days week on blacktop and dirt trails. Light weight yet sturdy and supportive. I would recommend sizing up 1/2 to 1 size larger. Fit and feel is great with no imperfections pushing on my feet. Not sure if trail running on rocky terrain would work. I would absolutely purchase these again.
