I have come back to raise my review to a all five-star. The tightness in the toe area loosened up quickly. These are great shoes in every way. Please make them in black! Although the blue is beautiful.

I bought these for my husband but he felt that the toe box was too tight, a problem he has never had before. They are very nice looking but we had to return them.

The Asics Gel Foundation 13 is awesome, when they arrived via ups i was like a little kid at Christmas i counldn't wait to open the box to see my shoes. When i opened the box and with a smile on my face these shoes are just beautiful. i put them on and my feet just went to heaven because i was dancing on a cloud. I have very flat feet and i over pronate and i'm considered as a heavy walker. I used to be a heavy runner but since my right knee replacement i was told no running but i can walk and ride my mountain bike. The Asics are great!! lot of cushion and great support , shipping was just a little slow compared to three years ago when i barely got away from my computer and the shoes arrived at my door. I love Zappos!!! excellent customer support and if you have to return your shoes there is no problem zappos will help in anyway they can for their customers. I WAS NOT PAID FOR THIS ENDORSEMENT , I WISH I WAS THOUGH. Thank You!!! Jimmy

Love this shoe a lot but can't find another size 13 4E. Found out ASICS discontinued there best support and motion control show!! Talked to customer service and they said the closest to it is the GT 4000 but it isn't the same and 2E was way too narrow! BRING THIS SHOE BACK!!!!

I bought these for my husband, size 10 in 4E. He has wide feet and nothing fits him. These are very comfortable, good for his overpronation. After he wore this shoe for over a week I bough him a second pair for a back up. Many reviews mentions that they are narrow. Please notice that they come in 4E and will fit a foot of 4 and 1/16 inches wide. That is the width of my husband widest part of foot while standing. Excellent shoe, highly recommend.

I bought these for my husband, who over pronates and he loves them! He says he feels as if it perfectly corrects his issue and they are comfy!

These are very comfortable for my wide foot. Right away I knew they were keepers. They are nicely padded around the ankle area. These are my first pair of Asics but not my last.

This is a very nice looking shoe, but the toe box felt too narrow so I have to return them. I don't usually have a problem with the toe box so I feel this shoe is a bit narrow.

I needed a good walking shoe that looks half decent. Asics typically come in several colors but this a nice neutral dark blue - I can wear them casually without looking like I'm going for a run. I purchased them for general everyday walking. Aside from visuals they work very well and correct my overpronated feet - not all the way, so I will expect some discomfort, but much less than other shoes. In fact they seem to work better than my Kayano 25's. The truth is you will not find the perfect shoe ever because they don't exist other than getting corrective surgery for your feet but these really do correct most of my overpronation. Will definitely buy again

I bought these shoes because the reviews often stated that these shoes were too narrow. I have a narrow foot so finding shoes off of the shelf is almost impossible! These shoe DO run narrow and offer great arch support. If you have narrow feet and are tired of your feet swimming in your shoes, these are the shoes for you!

This is my first pair of GEL-Foundation's and I love the arch support and my feet have never felt so good.

I am a woman and where a 10M in mens. I love this shoe because I have a problem with my ankle turning inwards because of a injury. These felt snug when I first put them on which I like because in time they will stretch. The support in the arch feels good. I also like the navy color. Conservative looking shoe.

Recently purchased these from a local running shop and now here to grab another pair. Over the last year it's become increasingly evident that an injury I suffered had also affected my gait and the way that I stand, because after an 8 hour shift at work I could hardly walk. My feet felt like they were burning, my knees and hips ached horribly, and this isn't an issue I'd ever experienced before. My Doc was the one who said something about my shoes and she was spot on. Apparently my injuries had caused severe over-pronation.
The first time I put these shoes on I could have cried. The pain that I felt every day just standing disappeared for more than just a few minutes. Don't get me wrong, these aren't a cure all; after wearing them for several days I do have some discomfort from the adjustment, but right out of the box I was able to wear these for a 10 hour shift on my feet and actually walk out of work without dreading every step. Each day I wear them they become more and more comfortable. They may not be the most stylish shoe, but the support and comfort they offer more than make up for it.

They were a bit tight in the heel at first but they seem to break in very quickly. Today they are very comfortable. So far I am very happy with them.

I bought these a month ago and have put about 65 miles of walking on them. They are my third pair of Asics and they fit perfectly. Definitely would buy again.

I work 12 hours shifts on my feet on hard floors. Needless to say I've had issues with sore feet. Since wearing your shoes I am pain free. I just bought my second pair and I know I will be adding others to my closet. Thank you!

This shoe has met all expectations. I have very flat feet and always buy motion control running shoes. These are just as good if not better than my old Gel Foundations and Brooks Beasts. Very very pleased.

I bought these for my son; he weight lifts and runs. He has tried multiple brands and says that these are the best - neutral base and super comfortable.

I have run in Foundation for many years. 6 marathons. So glad it is back. Had plantar faceitis years ago and my podiatrist recommended Foundations for the motion control. If you overpronate or are older and want the ultimate in support and control this is the best. I have always wore 9.5 2E but they dont offer that width so I ordered the normal width. It seems to have a somewhat larger toebox than what previous versions have and works well for me. The design is changed quite a bit so not sure about durability....have only run 50 miles with them.

I have worn a few Asics but had never tried the Gel-Foundation 13.
It is perfect, very stable, not to tight in the toe box or around the Achilles tendon.
Roll is controlled without causing plantar fasciitis. The cushion in the shoe is very good without loss of stability.
