Great shoe - narrow enough in the heel for me with a wide foot bed to accommodate bunions!

I use these at the gym, mostly on the treadmill, and already since they've arrived I've had much less leg pain. I wear a women's 10.5 with an extremely high arch and didn't have to break these in at all, though I've noticed some numbness in my little toes after a really long run. I have another similar pair I use for work and those are also comfortable, but I love the color on these so much I'm making them gym-only so they don't get as dirty.

This is my third pair of Asics. They are very comfortable all day. I just wish that I could wear them to work. The width is very true to size but the length seems to be a bit shorter than normal. I ordered half a size larger than normal and they are perfect. I am a walker and the gel makes walking on pavement a breeze. I highly recommend them.

This product was recommended by my podiatrist to alleviate a knot on my foot. The shoes are very comfortable, give me lots of support, and the knot is gone.

I have had these shoes for about a month and so far I still like them. They provide good support and cushion. I use them for Jazzercise. The sole is probably better for a running shoe. We do quite a bit of pivoting and that is sometimes difficult with this type of sole but I manage to work around that. There is plenty of room in the toe box and the heel fits well also. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly.

I'm still breaking these in but they treated me well on a 9-mile run this morning. They might not be the best choice for someone with really narrow feet. It's been hard getting them tight enough for my heel not to move and give me blisters. Otherwise a fine shoe, arch support isn't really tall, colors are fun!

I used to run in Brooks Axiom/Ghost but have switched to Asics for the last two pairs.

I have worn Asics for for ten years now. This is the first pair that was a little small. Mainly they were a bit narrow. Hopefully the next size up will fit comfortably. Otherwise the style and cushion support were perfect..

Great shoes! Comfortable, and the bounce of the heel was so nice! So cushiony! Love them! Have had them a few months, workout in them regularly, and there's hardly any wear and tear!

These are super comfortable and true to size. I use them for running & working out every morning and they fit perfectly with no rubbing my heels and no sore feet after a hard work out! Highly recommend!

I had foot surgery in March and the doc told me to try Asics. I have wore them in the past. But this pair seems more light weight not heavy on foot. I really do like them.

This is the first pair of sneakers I have found that fit great right out of the box! Last year I paid almost $170 for a pair of Asics at a running store. Since I couldn't afford that again, I figured I would try these. Much cheaper and just as good. The turquoise and purple add a bit of color without being gaudy.

I love these shoes. The sizing is perfect. Doesn't run to small or too big. I have low arches and i'm a slight pronator. I feel so much better when I run now.

I bought these in a 10 wide, and they were really tough for me to get my feet into. Once I got them on, they were pretty comfortable. I like them so far. Plus shipping was quick!

These are fantastic shoes. They are nice and squishy. They are exactly what I was looking for. No pinch points or hotspots after 10 miles.

I ordered 2 pair of Asics shoes, different styles. When I got them I loved one pair and hated the other, so returned the pair I didn't like for a full refund. Return was easy, still waiting to confirm refund to my credit card. Then I ordered 2 more pair that I got within a matter of days. Good prices, fast service. If you know what you want, style and size, this is a good way to shop!

Love the color of these shoes. I had to break them in, because my feet are a little wide. Once they were broken in they were comfortable and stylish. Definitely recommend these shoes.

I love the colors and fit of these shoes. I had ankle tendon surgery for TPD in October 2014 and have to wear insoles. The insoles fit nicely, but after wearing the shoes for about two hours, the pain in my ankle was so intense that it spread to my knee. I had to take three days off from the gym to let the pain and swelling subside. The shoes just did not offer the inside ankle support that I needed. They are being sent back.

Shoe size was true to fit. I found the shoe to be very comfortable and no pressure on my bunion. As for the arch support, I feel it to be good, but I always have to use added insoles in every pair of shoes I buy. Has a very supportive cushion throughout the shoe especially in the heel. As for the color, I find the fluorescent and neon colors to be very uplifting, always bringing a smile to my face. Puts an extra spring in my step bringing out the inner kid in me, and with me in my late fifties, I can use all the kid I can get! I highly recommend this quality shoe to anyone especially those who struggle with bunions. The mesh allows good air flow keeping your feet cool and comfortable. I am a walker and this shoe has proven its ability to support my feet.

Love these shoes! They are so comfy and great for running. I did have to exchange my first pair for half a size up and Zappos got me my new pair very quickly. The bigger size fit perfectly and I also ordered the wide width which is perfect for my feet. Thanks Zappos for the great service!

Very comfortable. It was very important to me to get a lightweight shoe with a lot of cushioning. This shoe did that for me. Also like the colors- the right amount of vibrant.

Very comfortable and breathable! Have been using them to run on the treadmill and they are fantastic. I added my own insoles; however, so I can't comment on the ones that are provided.

Perfect shoe for me. Room for toes, I can put a new pair on and walk a couple miles. My dogs and I walk more than 10 miles a week (not a lot but I am 67 with a bad back) and "princess" feet. This is about my 7th pair.

These are my fifth pair of Asics...& I just love them. Very comfortable & I can be in these all day if I were allowed to do so. Although I need to get dress to go to work so it comes a point where I must take them off. Thanks Asics for being so carrying to the feet of us runners & fast pace walkers.

Great shoes! Pretty colors. Comfortable. Good support. Order up a half size and if have even a bit of a wider foot order the wider width. Can fit too snugly otherwise.
