I've worn New Balance ( Size 10, 4E) for years. My feet needed the SL2 last with a wide toe box, and these became hard to find and expensive. Initially I tried the Gel Venture 6 at Size 10. These were pretty good but rubbed a bit on my smaller toes under certain circumstances, so when I needed a new pair I went up half a size to 10 1/2. These fit perfectly and are very comfortable.

I haven't run in them yet but they feel great up to this point. The laces are a little flimsy, though.

This sneakers are what I have been looking for. I do a lot of walking and was looking for good pair that feels good at the end of the walk. These sneaker felt great as soon as I put them on. Perfect fit.

Great price for my favorite shoe brand. Affordable, comfortable running shoes for my large feet (14 4E).

Quality is dropping on this shoe. I've been buying this shoe for several generations. Each generation feels a little bit cheaper than the last.
They used to include high quality round laces, but now VERY cheap feeling flat ones. My last pair had the soles separate after just a year of moderate use. Tread was fine, but shoe was falling apart. This pair just feels cheaper. Not as comfortable as previous generations (do they even still have gel?) Also the side wall of the shoe doesn't extend as far forward on the toe (maybe that is where they took out a shoe lace hole) making less supportive at the ball of your foot.

Everything was great, except my heel kept slipping. I used all the eyelets and tied it tighter than normal, but still slipped.

The fit of the shoe was good. I walk 4 to 5 miles a day. I’ve had the shoes about a month and have already worn a hole through the top of the shoe by the big toe

I received this shoe as a present for Christmas along with another color. The other color fits fine, but this color is too small. I measured the shoes - they are the same. This shoe was manufactured in Vietnam and the pair that fit in Indonesia. They are the same size - should fit. POOR QUALITY CONTROL. Support doesn't care about loyal customers

Bought this sneakers for my youngest son. He loved how they felt on his feet to the point where he wanted to keep them on all night. Went running in them this morning and they were very comfortable.

I have been wearing Asics for a long time now so I know my size in running shoes. I'm no longer running, but I'm on my feet a lot at work. These sneakers are perfect for me.

These shoes are quite comfortable, having some give while supporting my foot. They accommodate my brace which is a difficult fit to find, and considering that I am a woman forced to wear men's shoes (because of the brace on one foot and an orthotic on the other), they are reasonably stylish.

I waited several weeks before posting this review to see how the shoes felt on my feet and I'm here to say these shoes are great. I bought these to walk around my 1.7M sq ft warehouse for work. Concrete floors, climate controlled and I walk about 6 miles a day. These shoes have stood up to the challenge.
I have BIG FAT feet like Sasquatch/Fred Flintstone and ordered these in a 13 4E and have zero regrets. Plenty of room in the toe box and the gel heel feels great all day. The typical swelling of the feet through the day doesn't seem to be an issue with these shoes as with other shoes and boots I have. They are light and feel cool on the feet with excellent breathability. Overall I am extremely pleased and only time will tell about the longevity.
