Lightweight - I guess that’s why it’s called Ultralight - but it lacks support and stability for the foot. The toe box seems a bit wide. I would not choose these for extended walking or strenuous exercise.

This has been a go-to sneaker for me, and I was very disappointed in what seems a major change in the overall cushioning (not arch support). I don't see many other reviews indicating this, so perhaps it was an outlier, but I put them side by side my other GEL-Venture and it was a noticeable difference. They were true to size (6.5), fit comfortably, and I LOVE the color/style! (Sheet Rock/Ice Mint), but I won't use them for sustained standing or walking. They are super lightweight so I kept them for use with a stationary bike, elliptical, and puttering around the house.

These run short in the toe box. Too bad because they are a cute shoe but I will be sending them back and buying a different brand that is more supportive and comfortable.

I had to send these shoes back because they had a narrow toe box and felt tight on my size 9 foot.

Very comfy right out of the box. Front toe tab started to come unglued after one day but other than that they're a decent replacement for my NB 'Dad' sneaks. I'm a size 8.5 but I ordered the 9 after reading other reviews and they fit perfectly.

The item did not have the wide fit that I was expecting. Even though it says wide it feels narrow. Might be tight with thick socks, but ok to wear with thin socks. Other than that light sneaker, breathable, and comfortable to wear all day.

Shoes seem to run a little small. I’m normally a 6/6.5, and ordered a 6.5. Probably should’ve gone up to a 7. Nice support. Sturdy shoe. I have bad feet and a bad back and they are good for my body type.

I have a thin foot but I found this one to be too tight which really surprised me. Everything else was great about it just runs a little small

Very nice shoes, but I wish the laces were thicker and more durable.

My toe was right up against the front. It was my usual size. I am afraid a half size larger will make my heel slip. I am going to try it though. Disappointed. I have older trainers in my usual size from Asics and they fit fine.

Bought for outdoor Pickleball, previously wore NB leather court shoe. Great traction, worn 2 weeks, so far seems to provide enough lateral support to avoid rolled ankle. I have plantar fasciitis so i need a small silicon arch support, with that added the support is very good. Would purchase again, price is good, pickleball is tough on sneakers!

I loved these shoes and wanted to keep them, but they were too narrow. That is the first time I ever returned an athletic shoe because it was too narrow. Boo!

Though the website states the color as black and silver, they're actually blue. I like the look and feel of them. They are very comfortable, no breaking in. A few months ago I purchase the black and berry in a 7.5 from a different site but they were a little big. I didn't feel like going through the hassle of returning the sneakers so I donated them. This time I bought a size 7 and was extremely happy.

Style fit well except I stepped out of it just a bit in the back. Can't go any smaller or toe will hit the front of the shoe.

I have wide feet and a high instep. I ordered 8 1/2 W and they fit the bill perfectly. I also have a narrow heel, so the lace-ups work great. Thanks for the great customer service Zappos!!

I love how comfortable these shoes are and they appear to be well built. However, I ordered a 7.5 and they are run small; I can feel my toes against the front of the shoe. I have never had to purchase shoes larger than 7.5 so this was surprising. I'd have exchanged for a larger size if I hadn't removed the tags already, so I recommend sizing up at least by half if not a full size.

I have worn a lot of ASICS for work. I got the same size as I normally do and these came feeling a bit longer and definitely wider than I am used to. Not enough to send them back but these won't be my favorite.
