Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Foundation Walker® 3

I purchased these shoes to have some good shoes for work for the winter. When I first put them on they feel tight but as I walk in them they get very comfortable. I wore them 2 days to a quilt show a week after I got them and after walking on concrete floors for 6 to 8 hours each day my feet felt wonderful. Never had that experience after that much walking before. I will probably buy another pair of these when I need a new pair.

This is a second choice because either Asics or Zappos dropped my favorite Asics shoe. Anyway bought last year for walking and work. Great for walking, they break in fast. I am ordering more to try at work where I stand all day on concrete. Now I get to see how long this shoe will be available.

Got these for exercise walking for my hard-to-find-comfortable-shoes feet. Bunions on both feet but need good arch support and have a narrow heel. Great well made shoe. Just wish there Asics could make it in some of the modern colors like their other shoes.

Why do athletic shoes need to be sized up with so many brands? I normally wear 12 but with Asics, New Balance, Brooks, etc., I must get 13. Why can't these walkers come in size 13? I have to get runners for walking, but these shoes are the bomb of comfort. Super sturdy support and fit and nice clean black look.

Great walking shoe. I had foot surgery a few months ago and need a wide shoe in order to walk for exercise and not have my foot get too sore. I would have liked about 1/4" more room at the toe, otherwise I love them.

I have both very flat feet and motion control issues and wear hefty orthotics. I found these shoes even in a 2W too snug at the arch.

The most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet. I have narrow feet and I was apprehensive about how the width would fit, but they are great.

Fabulous shoes. Like walking on air. Bought them to go on a trip. The only "con" is that if you lace to the topmost eyelet, you can barely tie them the laces are so short!

I love these shoes. I'm a nurse so I spend all day on my feet on hard floors. This is the second pair I've bought because they are really that comfortable.

I love these sneakers. These replace a similar pair that I had a few years ago. They are perfect for walking in colder weather, fit well, and have good arch support. They do need a bit of breaking in, but that happens quickly to make them very comfortable.

I ordered 6 pairs of wide shoes for my diabetic sister Brooks, NB and Asics. These were the most comfortable for her. The leather is much softer than the NB, and these shoes were the most flexible (not stiff). We will be buying Asics again.

It's difficult to find wide women's sizes, especially an 11. This shoe was a bit tight in an 11W. I sent it back and asked for an 11.5W, which worked great! Thanks for the free shipping.

I am a fan of the Gel Noosa line of this brand and I found these to be just as comfortable and attractive. I like a soft but sturdy shoe that is lightweight and has a little heel type look and lift. These have it! highly recommend.

These shoes met all my expectations. I have a foot injury that requires wearing a shoe with good arch support and these shoes deliver. I wear them everyday.They accommodate my orthodics and were comfortable out of the box. They are true to size and fit comfortably even with a heavier sock. I plan to get another pair.

I love them! I have a wide foot, ordered wide and they are true to size. Excellent walkers.

I work on concrete and gravel all day at a garden center. These shoes have been a life saver. Great support, comfortable, and nice looking they help keep me on the go. When I wear them they prevent foot, knee, hip, and back pain that can make a good day long and miserable. My view on these shoes is that I am really into these shoes. I keep 2 pair for work, 1 for wear around town, and 3 new back-ups in my closet. A lot of ladies with my size 11, medium feet must like them too because they are hard to get. If you want a great shoe these are the ones for you. My apologies to the ladies that wear my size for my hoarding. I accidentally ordered a pair with width 2E. I sent these to my wider-footed sister and she is sold on these too. She bought some extra pairs too. Love these shoes!

These are good shoes-- versatile, well-made, reasonable price. They are well-designed and sturdy enough for walking, exercise equipment (elliptical, stepper, etc.) or low impact aerobics. And they are also attractive enough to complement sportswear in any social setting. They are generous enough to accommodate medium-weight cotton socks. So far (two months) they have worn well and stayed remarkably white. When they do wear out I expect to buy another pair just like them.

I have used ASICS GEL shoes frequently in the past, but my usual models have been discontinued. I decided to try the ASICS GEL-Foundation Walker-3. The other reviews that mentioned this shoe runs narrower than marked are correct. I ended up ordering the shoe in my normal shoe size (11½) but in a width that is one size up from what I normally get. This ended up fitting very well. I like to walk for exercise, and this shoe has started out being very comfortable. As this is new to me, I cannot give a view on the long-term performance, but I am happy with the comfort and support so far.

Very comfortable shoes. They're perfect work shoes as I'm on my feet all day. However, I've been told they look like Grandma shoes.

I ordered these is the Extra Wide and did not find them to be any wider. I have bunionettes and these placed an extreme amount of pressure on them. I did find them more supportive and cushion then my traditional order of the aasic Kayano.

I bought these for work. I am a nurse. Yes, they protect the souls of your feet from impact. I typically purchase a D width shoe, but they only had the EE equivalent available, so I purchased them. Glad I did! They are snug in the width. The arch support insert is so tall that it rubs my foot raw on the side. I also have a developed a cracked webbing near the base of my smallest toe, so these shoes do a poor job at wicking perspiration away from your skin. Not really so impressed with these shoes. I should have bought the New Balance shoes.

I bought a pair a earlier this year...I hate them! They aren't very comfortable and overpriced! I'll be going back to Saucony!
