I get plantar fasciitis so I ordered 4 different pairs to try and kept these. Usually the ones that are most comfortable look a little funny with the thick inside sole but these don't while having the support needed.

I wear Asics because they were recommended by a doctor for low back pain. This particular Gel-Exalt 3 is very cushioned in the heal and absorbs shock very well. I have 5 herniated discs so the right shoe is essential. This is my second pair of the Exalt 3. It is extremely comfortable. I wear ot with thick athletic socks so I got a hard size larger.

purchased these due to foot pain and needed a shoe that would support my arch. feels ahhh.. mazing. i've worn nike's for 20+ years and won't go back to that brand. i ordered 1/2 size larger to be able to accommodate my insert but overall true to size. super cushiony, great arch support, hot colors!

I think a very good Asics product...I was comparing with Asics Gel Kinsel 6. This doensn't have quite as thick sock-liner and as much collar padding but essentially the same shoe for considerable savings...But Asics shoes don't seem to have enough arch support for me. I Would consider these if I were going to replace the insole.

My foot grew a 1/2 size after I had my baby so I am forced to get a new pair of ASICS even though my current pair are perfectly fine! I have the ASICS Gel Nimbus 14 and they are SO comfortable. They feel like walking on a cloud because the sole is super cushioned. I just got these ASICS Gel-Exalt 3 in the mail. I LOVE the color. Keep in mind, this pink is BRIGHT pink, not muted at all. Be prepared for almost a highlighter pink color. They fit perfectly - always make sure you go 1/2 size up from what you wear normally! However, these are not as comfortable as I am used to with the ASICS brand. The shoe is kind of hard where the ball of my foot and my toes are. The heel isn't as cushioned either. I really didn't feel like my arch was being supported very well, but I do have a pretty high arch so take that with a grain of salt. I'm sending these back because I have had more comfortable ASICS and I don't want to settle for something that I know I won't be happy with. These aren't bad, but if you are looking for comfort, try the Gel Nimbus. They are way more comfy.

I have flat feet, and I over pronate, so finding workout shoes is always an issue. I've had luck with ASICS before, so I gave these a shot. They are light weight, and very comfortable. There is a lot of room in the toe box, which is very nice. I have mostly walked in these shoes, and was able to do a four mile walk right out of the box. These are not so stiff and clunky like many of the stability/motion control shoes, and my feet didn't hurt in them.

I'm returning them because I find them to be very narrow and uncomfortable. They may even have been a little short in the length, but the vice-like squeeze has made that sort of hard to judge. They look nice though, I wish I didn't have to return them.

Great running shoe. Wore it and ran over 350 miles in them with no problems. Have slight overpronation and these shoes provided enough support that over the 350 miles, the shoe wore out evenly in the tread, as opposed to mostly on the inside of the heel.

It was time for a new pair of running shoes and my last Asics proved to do the job so I searched Zappos for a new pair of Asics. This pair was very reasonably priced. I knew this was the right shoe for my foot as soon as I put it on. The color was a lot brighter than expected but as I wore them running in DC and NYC I saw lots of others wearing similar colors on their feet or running clothes so I felt I was being a trendy runner. They provide good stability without going overboard.

Very comfy shoes! I just started running again after a 20 year break, and these shoes are helping me ease back into it. Good support, very cushiony and light. I think these have helped prevent pain in knees and calves. I ordered a half size up as people recommended, and they're fine, maybe a bit roomy. Not crazy about the feminine colors, but comfort is what matters to me.

Zappos, thank you unbelievable patience and assistance in my sneaker selection. This one is the winner. I wanted another pair ASICS Gel-Sendai but they are discontinued. The Sendai's made me feel like i was ready to go and up for miles on any surface. The Exalt is the closest that I have found to the old Sendai. 8 orders, 6 returns and I finally have 2 pairs that I love.

Awesome color. Trying to replace a pair of Asics that I wore out. Wore size 11 in that style, need 11.5 in this one. Returning to get bigger size.

I've worn Asics for over 20 years and have always sized up a full size, including these Gel-Exalt 3. These shoes are extremely comfortable and offer good stability. I walk/jog about 4 miles a day and so far am very happy with them.

I have old sensitive feet and have had several foot and toe surgeries. Since I walk for exercise I need a comfortable shoe with a softness to embrace my sensitive feet. So far, these shoes are working for me. I am hoping they have a longer life than the last several pair of shoes of a different brand I was wearing. Many friends who walk wear ASICS. They all seem pleased with their performance.

I have tried many brands of running sneakers but always come back to Asics as my favorite. I am typically a 5.5 in sneakers and these fit like a glove. They are light weight with the perfect amount of support. I have only run short distances in them so far (3-5 miles), but have had zero issues. Would purchase these shoes again, highly recommend!

The only sneakers I wear are Asics. I have a whole 5 shelf rack of Asics. I have acquired plantar fasciatis from walking so much in other shoes and flip flops (before I discovered these shoes years later!) So yes, I'm a tad partial to Asics, because I've been able to keep the pain at bay with them. But I can't wear just any Asic. They have to have the thicker sole and good support. I always fall in love with a style and when I'm ready to purchase more, they've discontinued the ones I've grown fond of. So it's always a journey finding my next favorite. I got these and another of the same style, different color, and another pair of a different style. This was my favorite style when it came to looks and feel! I sent the last pair back...not so cute and more expensive! So I get lots of compliments on the two I kept and I seriously feel like I'm walking on air. I'm like most girls when they purchase a new purse when it comes to me and my Asics. I feel like a whole new woman; and not only are they worth every penny when it comes to comfort, they really are lookers! WORTH IT!!! Try them, you'll never go back to Nikes again! :-)

Really love these sneakers. I've been trying to find a replacement for my Brooks Ghost 5s (since they changed the design) and these finally do the trick! Great support and extremely comfortable right out of the box. I ordered a 1/2 size up from my usual and am very pleased with the fit. Highly recommend!
