Customer Reviews ASICS 33-DFA™

I'm looking for an alternate running shoe, after Nike seems to have changed their formula on my old favorite (Flex). I don't run long distances, 10ish miles a week, and was looking for a very lightweight shoe that still offered adequate support. I read the reviews that suggested to order up a half size. I did this, and it still feels too snug in the toe box. I'll be sending these back and will keep looking...

These shoes are really cute, sadly they ran about a half size too small for me. I have always been a true 7.5 in sneakers. Typically I like Nike, but thought I would give these a shot. The shipping was fast which I love. Tried these shoes on with a think athletic sock and my toes hit the front. It also felt really snug in the width. It was also a bit uncomfortable because the bottom of the laces would bend when you walked and would dig in to the top of my foot. Also it was really short in the heel so I felt like these would slip right off when walking...I know I have difficult feet so I was bummed these didn't work for me.

I am glad that I read the reviews on this before buying - I ordered half a size larger than my normal size (I am a solid 11 in just about all shoes; I ordered 11½M). The shoes fit well, but my other Asics are just a teensy bit more comfortable. I had wanted to order the kind that I had before (Gel Craze TR-2), but I did not like the colors at all. But overall I am happy with these. I ordered the Grey/Charcoal/Mint and they colors are just as I imagined (but other computer screens may differ in color). One other thing about these shoes - the back, above the heel is soft, unlike most other athletic shoes. It is easier to slip them on when using a shoe horn.

I bought these because they were designed for supernators, and at the same time bought another pair of gel Asics that were less specifically designed. I have to admit, these really were noticeably more comfortable in terms of conforming to my foot, and feeling comfy when I walk. Like them so much I bought a second pair to have when these eventually wear out! Depending on the brand I usually wear an 8 or 8.5 in sneakers, in these I would need an 8.5 to get enough toe wiggle room with thicker socks.

I bought this for my 10 year old daughter to wear to school daily. We are now on her second pair and bought 2 colors because she loves them so much. A light and functional shoe.

Very comfortable-supportive but lightweight and flexible-and very cute on! :D

I ordered this shoe in the red and black in a 10-1/2 since most reviews said to order a half size up and I'm glad I did. The shoe is so comfortable. Then I decided to order the shoe in blue/navy in a 10-1/2. The blue/navy is a tad shorter than the red/black ones? Although I love Asics I'm disappointed that the sizing seems to be inconsistent. Otherwise, the shoes is really nice. I think I'll keep the blue ones and hope they stretch just a bit.

I like these, but have not had them long enough to really know how much I like them. I am a long time Ascis buyer and this is my first pair of trainers. I usually buy running shoes even though I just walk, but I walk a lot. I purchased this pair for a step and circuit class that I take 3 times a week. I like this color combo and they aren't as clunky looking on your foot as running shoes.

Very comfortable and lightweight. Much better arch support than a similar Nike shoe. I wear a size 12 and the shoe doesn't make my foot look huge!

LOVE this shoe! I have owned 4 pairs of Asics so far in my athletic and fit life, and by far, this is the best pair I have ever owned. The foundation of the shoe (although looks very simple in comparison to to the bottoms of other shoes- with more grooves, arch depth and cushioning) is both very giving in allowing your foot to function as freely as if you were barefoot, and yet conducive to help provide support and comfort in just the right quantity and extent. I don't feel hampered by extra "fluff" like my other shoes have had (and I thought I needed!), the lightweight, simple, well thought design of this shoe is perfect. Enough structure and grit to provide balance and stability when weight lifting (including high intensity power-lifting) and light weight, giving and contoured enough to provide a smooth minimal shock flow when running, this shoe is ideal for anyone of any fitness level. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the style, is because the color shown is quite misleading. I bought the shoe convinced I was getting a sort of "Tiffany blue". (yes, the description says "mint" but I could not identify that color on my computer) After purchasing, the shoe turned out to have a sort of "aqua blue" if you will- right between a mint and sky blue. Mislead, but still love the shoe. Thank you so much Asics for continuing to make an amazing product! :)

Good fit and good lasting shoe. Daughter is using these shoes to run in jr. high track and enjoys the comfort.

I normally always wear a size 7 but I read the reviews about these shoes and they were right about buying half a size larger. That said, the shoes are very comfortable and I prefer to wear lightweight shoes. I have not really used them to run but I have been on my feet all day at work and they felt great!

I haven't worn these yet, but I think they will be very comfortable. They run small, though. I had to get a size 10 when I usually wear a 9. They are light weight, which I like.

The shoes for so many compliments! They are so super cute and comfy. But just make sure to wear a sock that isn't too thick! Some of my socks are a little bit thicker than the other ones and the thicker ones make the shoe a little too tight! But such a cute and comfy shoe none the less.

I was looking for a shoe with less of a drop. Found these and do really like them. One drawback is when I jog and walk long distances with these my feet do get a little sore on the underside. But for working out in the gym they are great.
