This shoe is true to size. It is comfortable and is stylish enough for casual wear. I am pleased with this shoe and would not hesitate to purchase again in the future.

What I like about these shoes is that they have room in the forefoot for your toes to spread out. That makes for comfort for me which has been hard to find. The support is great and they feel good on my feet.

My feet feel great with these shoes. One issue I have is with the stitching on the side of the shoe it bunches up on both shoe.

I liked the look of these sneakers. However, due to me having high insteps, I had to loosen the ties a lot to get my feet in the shoes. The shoes felt really comfortable once on. Unfortunately, because I had to loosen the shoeties, there was not much left to tie the shoes comfortably and they felt somewhat smaller because the top of my foot was tight. Sadly they had to go back. The shoe entry was a bit shallow for me but if you don't have the high instep issue, I'd say go for it, the shoes are really cushioned and they look nice on.

I ordered size 8 since my old pair of Asics Gel Excite 9 are very comfortable in size 8. These new ones are too tight, even after wearing them around in the house for a morning with thin socks. I love my old shoes, so I'm disappointed. My small toe did poke a hole in the right shoe as a result of my bunion, but otherwise, they have been great. I will return these and try another style.

Buying these shoes on line was very easy. They fit my feet immediately I tried them on and have continued to be comfortable.

I was looking for a new sneakers as I walk 4 miles to and from work everday. So far, they feel great. I feel supported, my arches don't ache and my ankles feel secured.

I know Asics is more of a running shoe brand than anything else, but I was looking for a new pair of everday/walking shoes since I do a lot of walking and this one was recommended to me. They have been great as walking shoes, even after a couple hours of walking my feet feel fine. I do have two (very minor) nitpicks, and both are just appearance related. I got the Indigo Fog/Monument Blue color, and the actual indigo color of the shoe leans more purple than in the listed picture. And as for color in general, I'd love to see some more variety. But I'd definitely consider getting these again once I inevitably wear my current pair out.

They fit a half size smaller. The back of the material runs up against the back of your ankle. However, the cushion feels great

For some reason, the black with white soles are more narrow than other colors.

I usually wear a 9W and that is what I ordered. It is not wide enough. I liked the shoe and wish it had fit correctly.

They fit ok, but I have had some that were better. I think I’ll be adding a special insert.

I am a fan of ASICS shoes – love the fit and style. They are super comfortable, lightweight and a great buy. I buy my usual size and they always fit well right out of the box.
