So narrow I could barely get them on my feet. I wear a 4E in other shoes A-OK. Gel cushioning seems like it might feel pretty good, but I'd have to order a wider shoe and they don't make it. No way I could keep these; restricted my foot enough I'd be afraid of circulation problems. (Diabetic)

The shoes themselves are great. The return policy is even greater. Takes away all the concern about buying shoes that you have not actually tried on for fit. I am good about shoes and am comfortable with my size, but you never know what the manufacturer produces as your size. The ability to return after wearing around the house if great. And the price was also great. Good company to do business with.

Another victory for Zappos and Asics. As soon as I put the on, I felt like I was walking on a cloud. These shoes are amazing! My size was temporarily out of stock, but when they came back in, I got 'em quick. I'll also buy in greater quantities in the future. Thanks, Zappos!

Probably the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I am basically a runner, but as the years go by, I am walking more. This shoe is perfect for walking.

Started P90X and these are very comfortable shoes for a wide footer. Very stable support for moving side to side and up and down. Have been a New Balance fan for running but their all-around shoe fitted much better. Ordered 2 of them. Love Zappos service for letting me try another pair out before settling on this one. The best shoe store for sure.

Couldn't find the color in local stores, but knew my size. The shoes arrived as stated. The transaction was flawless. I'll order from Zappos.com again.

Very happy with these shoes. They are very comfortable and they look good. The width is accurate which adds to the feel. Even the laces stretch and tie easily.

These are the most comfortable wide athletic shoes I have worn in a while. I have purchased four pairs in six months trying to find these. Asics really fit my foot well, which is wide across the toes and narrow in the heel. Whether running, or shopping in the mall, these are right on for my foot.

This shoe has been very comfortable and I have wide feet. I was not sure if the Asics line was good for me but it has proven to be great.

Plenty of room in forefoot, but still holds heel snug. Lots of lateral support for plyometrics. Good arch support. Just like a Volvo. Ugly but good.

Fast shipping - and they even upgraded the shipping free. Truly a great company to buy from. Others should take lessons.

These trainers fit like a glove. The support all around is great, and they are light and extremely comfortable. I came across this purchase after I had to return a pair I'd ordered from another website. Get this, they sent me two different sized shoes! Their vendor was a pain to deal with and made me pay for return postage. I'm never buying shoes from Amazon.com. I really hope Zappos stays as responsive and professional as they've been to date.

I purchased the Gel-170s as a follow-on to the TR-150s I've owned/enjoyed for the past 2 years. Same shoe - love 'em, but sad to see the price increased substantially from what the 150s cost.

Generally comfortable for a 200+ pound person with a wide foot like mine. Holds the foot well. But could benefit from a bit more cushioning toward the front for the ball of the foot. I had to add an additional insert (under my orthotics) for added cushioning/shock absorption. Zappos is the best to deal with!

This is the best made athletic shoe I've ever had. The size is right and the shoe is very confortable. It's an ideal cross training shoe.

I bought these for working out. Specifically for doing Les Mills courses such as Body Attack and Body Combat. I had always worn running shoes in the past. I have wide feet, so the brands that come in width are limited for me. I also purchased some New Balance running shoes, but they were not as wide around the toes and the ball of my foot as these were. My last pair of Asics lasted over a year, going to the gym 3 to five times per week and I even did a few hikes in them. Back to the courses...if you do Body Attack, then you know it is super intense, and I was worried if cross trainers would as good for all of the cardio movements. These felt a bit funny at first since your feet sit in more of a flat position (rather than slightly leaning forward as with running shoes), but I quickly got used to it and I really like them. Great for working out. Great for Body Attack and Body Combat. I live in France, but when I visit family in the states (yearly), I always buy shoes from Zappos...love you guys!

My podiatrist recommended this brand. It is a great shoe for people who need a good arch support. Good price as good or better than more expensive shoe.

Was hesitant to buy shoes on-line but
I needed a wide shoe that was hard to find at stores. The shoes I found on Zappos were the correct fit and color, AND they were the cheapest price (and I did a lot of searching). Arrived as advertised. Will shop Zappos again - you should try it - nothing to loose!

Good buy. Needed a wide shoe for all day walking and standing. Using my own insoles secondary to plantar fasciitis.
