Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Zaraca™ 2

These shoes are incredible! They are so lightweight, and comfortable! They feel just as wonderful as my higher level Asics that are double the price without the bulk! I loved them so much I bought a second pair. I highly recommend this model. Plus the colors are even cuter in person!

I've always been a fan of Asics. These seemed to run small and I needed to order a size up. Other than that, they're cute and less clunky than other styles of Asics. Love 'em!

I love these sneakers! They have great support. The gel in the bottom of the shoe really helps the impact on your feet when you run. I used to get cramps in my shins from my old sneakers and I no longer do! These are the best sneakers I have ever owned! I definitely recommend them!

I've been looking for a good shoe to replace my few-years-old New Balance, and these are the first I've liked. I like a slim shoe normally, which is why I was surprised I liked these. These certainly aren't chunky, but they aren't slim, either. I prefer slimmer shoes because I feel like the wider ones (like Nikes) can feel really clunky. These don't feel clunky. I did end up buying a half-size bigger, but only because I like a lot of extra room. I think you should start with your typical size, and go from there.

I ordered about 10 different pairs of moderately prices running shoes to try. I am a fairly new runner, averaging nine miles a week with cross training two days a week. I found these shoes to be the most comfortable of all the shoes that I tried, with plenty of room in the toe area. Lately I have been buying size 8½ in all shoes, and these were no exception.

These shoes are super cute and comfortable. Even cuter in person than in the picture. I needed to get some Dr. Scholl's inserts for arch support though, the inserts that come with the shoes don't provide much arch support for overpronators. I'm an occasional runner (3-4 miles 2-3 times a week) and these feel great when I'm running.

These shoes are fantastic. I had a lot of problems when I have tried to run in the past. I have seen huge improvements in my running ability since ordering these shoes. I also love how flashy they are - totally matches my personality!

Love this shoe! very light weight. I cannot run any longer due to bad knees but they would be good if I still could. I do a great deal of walking in them and they are great.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. They are very light, yet supportive. The gel is fantastic. I have disc problems which make my back hurt often after jogging or long walks. No problems with these shoes. And they are cute, to boot!

I have put approximately 50 running miles on my shoes and I like them. I retired my Trinoosa and paid practically half for this shoe. The shoe felt tight and I removed the insole and it's perfect for me.

The first two days I wore them they fit a little funny. One shoe seemed bigger than the other and would slide off my foot slightly when stepping, and the other shoe felt more narrow. On the third day they both fit fine and were very comfortable. It may have been the socks I was wearing. It's been about a week since I've received them and they are still great shoes.

Wow, I ordered these on Monday at lunch time and by the time I got home from work on Wednesday they were at my door! Love the hot pink; it is even prettier in person! These shoes are definitely narrow and will have to be broken in but I think they are going to work out great for me. Weight training and light running.

These are very comfortable and look just as they do in the picture. No major complaints. The one minor issue is that the little plastic/metal ring that surrounds one of the lace holes was never properly attached so it is missing. But that does not seem to make a difference at all to the shoes functioning.

These are great sneakers for light running, workout machines and weights. They fit true to size and provide moderate support. I wish they were a bit less bulky. But for the price, I am very happy.

Cute, comfortable, very light shoe. I've used it so far for a 6 mile walk, 3 mile run, no pain, moderate support. Could use a little more structure/support but it's a good shoe.

I'm a big fan of Asics but I think I need a pair of the more expensive cross trainers. These shoes are comfy but they just don't have the same arch support I've gotten from others with the Gel technology. Cute as can be - love the pink shoes - but for running, jumping rope and doing high-interval training I need a bit more support.

Bought these sneakers because of the great reviews. They fit true to size and felt comfortable when I wore them around the house. After wearing them a full day to do errands my feet are killing me. Not sure what it is but not enough cushioning in the ball of the foot.

I usually love Asics, but these shoes just did not work for me. I don't have wide feet at all and I had to loosen up the laces a lot to even get my foot into them. They seem very "short" from top to bottom. I could barely get my foot in the shoe, even though I ordered a half size up! Even after loosening the laces, the shoe just felt tight all around. I love the colors and style, but unfortunately I'll have to return these.

I love Asics, but these hurt right across the top of my toes when I bend my foot. I think it is because the top has the stripes that are somewhat hard, and they cause it not to bend as comfortably. My running shoes with the mesh toe are much more comfortable. Too bad because they are very cute! I am going to be returning them.

I bought these shoes in April (not even 4 months ago), and the plastic on the inside, at the heel and on the sides, has already worn through the fabric. The shoes can't be worn anymore because the plastic rips holes in my socks and cuts up my feet. This is only from moderate use (walking to/from work, gym a couple times a week). Very poor quality.

I made this purchase after much research. I was sadly disappointed. To be honest, these are the worst shoes I have ever run in. I have never had foot problems, but now I have blisters on my heels and the top of my toes. I missed several runs due to treating the damage done. The size feels right, but there are a lot of "catches" lining the inner shoe. I wear appropriate socks, etc. The dye inside the shoes runs, turning my socks black. I now have pain in my left knee and hip and lower back. The info is misleading about cushioning. It feels like there is none. I am so disappointed. I am back to my Saucony's. When I can afford a new pair, I will probably try Nike's again. Don't buy these.
