These are not exactly what I expected. They have decent support but not for what I originally bought them for - running. Not as flexible as other ASICS I've bought in the past. Great for walking, hiking, and look great otherwise!

Small fit, go a size up, so not super comfortable to run in for me.

Unfortunately I found that after a few wearings, the shoe doesnt hold its arch support foot pronation begins.

Not as comfortable as my GT-1000 7 so I have demoted these to just walking shoes.

So CUTE but the left shoe has thicker padding around the ankle than the right shoe. Double the thickness, a weird factory mistake. I'm able to live with it but I expected better for the high cost of the shoes, I really thought that meant high value as well :(

Ive been wearing Asics GT's for 22 years! They provide the ankle support I need and they're very comfortable. They wear well. Can't imagine why I would ever change to a different shoe. I won't mess with perfection!

These were true to size if you buy a half size bigger than your normal size which I always do with running shoes. I wear a narrow width and these are definitely narrow but perhaps a tad too narrow. What I didn't like was the styling--somehow they are cut differently from other brands of running shoes I have like New Balance and Brooks--they look very long on my foot which was a deal breaker for me.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance, Brooks

They're super comfortable but they are not good when it rains or if the grass is wet. The water goes straight into the shoe and your socks will be soaked.

I have four pair of Asics GT 2000 8, and my new ones are too narrow. I must return them. I always wear a B width but this pair is too narrow.

I had high hopes for these being the severe over-pronator I am. However, they really didn't offer as much support as I had hoped for. I have the ASICS 'Gel Foundation' and those really are superior in stability. But the GT-2000 8 did not offer as much support for my overpronation. I did like the knit top though. That was very comfortable! I bought the aqua and light orange color - it was a beautiful combination! So sad the sneakers had to go back.

these shoes are great other than the fact that there is a crease on the toe that is super annoying and this is the second pair that i have that has gotten that

Very neat shoe design. Just very crowded at the top of the shoe, and had problems with the inside mid foot always rubbing against my foot while running causing bad blisters.

I had to return these shoes as I wear orthotics with a lift and the back wasn't high enough to support the lift. I wish Asics would make more narrow shoes like they use to, difficult to find.

I bought these shoes for overpronation/stability and they lasted about 30 seconds on my feet. The soles feel very hard like walking on wooden planks. Absolutely not enough cushion for me!

Seemed to be half size smaller than marked, and narrower in the toe box than ASICS I’ve bought in the past.

I always wear asics runners as I walk everywhere.I buy a new pair every 5 mths and I was a little disappointed with the comfort of these runners.While the sole of my foot is well cushioned The top is not so comfortable and I find myself adjusting the laces regularly.

I think they run a little small and do not have as much cushioning as other Asics shoes I've had.

Lovely looking trainers, have a nice bouncy sole, however they are a little narrow for me! I was a little concerned about this when i purchased them, but thought I would give them a go! Wrong decision i'm afraid. I wont be returning them as they will be fine for walks with the family etc... but I won't be using them for workouts or runs as toe space is cramped and in general they feel a little narrow. Shame as I love the design. I will be sticking with my Brooks (wide fit).

I absolutely love these trainers
I have 3 other pair and they are so comfortable.
Unfortunately I had to return these pair due to a fault. But once refunded will buy again

When I tried them on, the fact they fit way too small was really disappointing because other than that I think they could've been a really great shoe! I'm holding off on buying another pair until they have been returned

Too tight just below the area where the laces are. I wore ASICS for years but they changed something a few years back and now I can't find a pair that fit.

Shoes were very stylish, but had to return due to the low cut around my ankle bone and the shoe rubbed that area. it ran slightly larger in size.

Comfortable yes ... but very hard to keep clean .. I got them for work as I am on my feet for 12 hour shifts 3-5 shifts a week as a nurse ... need to be able to keep them clean which is difficult.
