Amazing running shoes! I was having consistent heel and knee pain during and after my daily 3 mile run. I purchased these shoes and good-bye discomfort! Aside from their extreme comfort, they have a modern and stylish look to them. They fit true to size. Love them! I have them in yellow and light blue. Planning on purchasing the pink ones next.

This is a great shoe. Good fit in all respects with just the right amount of arch support and cushioning. I got the yellow ones and they look very nice. The yellow is not glaring and blends nicely with many different colors. I haven\'t enjoyed a pair of shoes this much in years and all I wear are running shoes!

Finally, after returning 4 other pairs of shoes (3 New Balance and 1 Murano), I found a great fitting shoe. Great arch support which is what I was primarily looking for. No break-in time and great cushioning. I ordered a half size larger than I normally wear and they fit great.

I love Asics! They fit my feet very well. This particular model is great to walk in for long periods of time. There is not much of an arch which is great for those that can't tolerate one.

Asics Gel-pulse shoes are my first pair of running shoes. Guess what? I love these shoes! After 10 minutes of running on the treadmill, I felt air running between my toes and the open-hole meshes were keeping my toes and feet cool; how delightful! I definitely felt like my feet were stabilized, and not over-pronating. I usually wear an 8.5 and for me, these shoes were true to size. I would recommend these running shoes to my friends and family members.

Shipping on the shoes was really slow. I was surprised, usually Zappos shoes come the next day or two days. It took over a week. Other than shipping time I am completely satisfied. These shoes are very comfortable! I love them! I took the advice of reviews and ordered a half size up and I'm glad I did. They fit perfect. Very good for walking, running, or areobics. I have done all 3.

I\'m just getting back into running after a two year break, and I didn\'t want to spend a lot on my first pair of shoes, but I also wanted a quality shoe. Asics has shoes in every price point, and I\'m really happy with these ones. The toe box is on the wide side, but I like that. They\'ve broken in very well and have a moderate amount of cushioning. I\'m really happy with what I got for what I paid, and I\'ll definitely stick to Asics in the future. Love these shoes! As with all running shoes, I ordered 1\/2 size up from my normal size, and they\'re perfect.

Was having knee issues when running and a friend thought Asics might help. Love these shoes! Have had no problems in my knees or back since.

Very comfortable shoes with lots of cushioning. I have plantar fasciitis and my feet do not hurt when I wear these shoes for walking. I ordered a 1/2 size larger based on other reviews I read on the internet. Zappos is a great company to order from!

This is a lightweight and comfortable shoe. I wear it on walks and it's supportive without being tight. I usually wear a size 12 but as the case with most athletic shoes, I must order one size up. When will manufacturers get real with sizing?

These sneakers are great! I got them for my first half and they got me through well (even when it rained and they were soaked through entirely). Haven't had any foot or joint pain since putting them on about a month ago, so I'm happy! These run the same sizing as other Asics.

I knew the Asics shoes would be comfortable, they are the only sneaker I will wear. Love the yellow and the silver really pops. I won't order shoes from anyone other than Zappos. Their customer service is by far the best out there, and I do a lot of online shopping.

These are WONDERFUL. First jog in ages with no pain at all. Perfect for underpronators with higher arches, and they have tons of heel cushioning. Medium width is great for even a slightly wide foot. Zappos rules...5K finish line here I come!

I love the Asics Gel-Pulse. I have a lot of foot pain and these are cushiony and wide enough not to scrunch my toes. I have worn the blue ones like these for over a year and am very happy with them.

These are very comfortable, supportive, and cushiony. I have slightly higher arches and wide feet, but these were still very comfortable, better than other running shoes I've tried!

I’m an Asics lover, it started with the 2120 a while ago and I’m still searching for my "true love" shoe. These shoes provide good cushioning and look really sharp (love the yellow!), but I feel that they are lacking in the arch support department. I was looking for a happy medium between the arch support in a stability shoe and the comfort of a cushion shoe (any suggestions?). I still really like these shoes and wear them to workout and sometimes on the treadmill.

I love my Asics Gel-Pulse! I am on my feet all day at work and I also try to squeeze in some exercise in my busy mom schedule. My feet, legs, and back are constantly sore. I recently became aware of the different types of shoes for the different types of pronation. I am an under-pronator with narrow feet and high arches. This highly cushioned shoe has definitely made a difference in how my feet feel... as well as my legs and back.

These shoes were recommended by Runners\' World magazine for people who need a lot of extra shock absorption in their shoes. I go to at least 5 dance aerobics classes per week, and the shoes I\'ve bought in the past that were created for dance-type workouts have not been giving me the shock absorption I now need. I\'m a forty-something woman who is determined to remain fit and fabulous, but my body feels the effects of impact that it was impervious to 20 years ago. With good shoes like these and lots of post-workout stretching, I\'m able to continue dancing just like I did when I was in my twenties.

These are the best sneakers! They are great for running and other activities as well. My daughter clocks 20+ miles per week, and I only clock at 6 miles. We both love them.

I am a big fan of Asics running shoes. I absolutely love these shoes. They are comfortable from day one, and do not blister my ankles or heels, which is often the case with first wearings. They are light and well cushioned. I will order Ascis again. Zappos beat the price of our sporting goods store and provided very fast delivery!

I had originally ordered the Gel Nimbus 11 to replace the Nimbus 9 that I loved, but found it had an odd fit. The Gel Pulse turned out to be a really good fit. I am usually a 12AA in running shoes, but found the 13 b/med was narrow enough and could support the length I needed. It has nice cushioning and seems to be a pretty neutral fit; I have a high arch and am an underpronator, and it keeps me positioned well without bothering my knees or back. Good price, too!

I really like this well cushioned shoe from Asics. The shoe is well made and supportive while still being flexible. I have really high arches and I found that the arch support was adequate. This shoe fits snugly around the forefoot on me which I appreciate. I find many toeboxes these days are too large for my foot. I have used this shoe for Stairclimber workouts, treadmill walking and running, and step class as well as just wearing around the house and find that it is very versatile. I think these shoes run true to foot size.

The gel soles definitely add spring to my step. I wear these shoes primarily for walking, but I suspect they would feel great to run in as well. Excellent fit and colors appear just as they do on Zappos.

I love these comfortable, lightweight shoes! Good for walking, running, step aerobics, and body conditioning classes. The black color matches nicely with black workout pants and make my legs look longer. My feet are on the wide side and these are perfect. The staff was very helpful and they arrived in 2 days. Thank you, Zappos, you're the best!

Very comfortable. I'm a power walker and love the cushion this shoe provides. It's true to size. I ordered a half-size up because I don't want to feel my toes hit the front of the shoe, and I probably shouldn't have. I've worn them, so they're mine now, but could have stuck to my normal size. I like them in black with the touch of deep pink, especially for the winter months when I wear black pants for my workouts. My collegiate daughter didn't think they were so cool on me. Told me I looked like I was Sigourney Weaver and should be chasing aliens around a space ship. Good thing 22-year-olds are not my fashion icons either.
