I loved the style and color of this shoe. I had ordered 2 pairs a size 10 and a 101/2 , the 101/2 length was ok but the toe bed was extremely wide as it folded when I walked. so I had to returned it. If the toe bed was not so wide I would have kelp it. Thank you Zappos for allowing us to return shoes. That's the reason I keep coming back hoping to find comfortable shoes.

These shoes are more narrow than expected. Normal sizing was too small.

I was looking for a gym shoe for HIIT workouts and I was immediately lured by the low profile design and bright color of this shoe. Unfortunately, the ball of my feet hurt after a light workout and I knew I would need more cushion than this trainer provided; perhaps the trade-off for the low-profile look.?

Pretty stiff, not as much cushion or substance as I had hoped.

The shoes were a really nice style for asics but unfortunately the sizing did not work out. My normal asics size is 9.5 but this ran a bit large/loose all over. 9 felt a little too short at the tip of the toes. Also there is barely any cushioning so they are not super comfy like kayanos.

I have an old pair of Gel Nimbus-18 ASICS that I'm looking to replace but am returning this shoe because it does not equate the comfort, the cushioning, of my old shoe. Feels as if it has much less of a gel cushion in the sole.

The fit of these trainers is too boxy in the ball of the foot area, which loses support in my cross training.

The quality seemed normal, but the shoe was extremely long.

I read these were great running shoes, specifically for sprints. I found them to be very flat and stiff, and the tongue area often bunches and causes uncomfortable pressure to the top of my foot- even when wearing casually and not training. I've tried 3 types of ASICS and these are definitely my least favorite.

They are light and nimble and feel sturdy. However for me I feel I need more spring under foot . I had been wearing GT-1000 which are quite springy.

I've been wearing these since 2009 and always get a size 8. This new model feels about 1/2 a size too large. I tried on two older pairs to confirm. I'm disappointed.

So cute, but need to be beefier for anything but shopping. I would love this pattern in a true running/walking shoe with more arch support.

The shoe it self feels great. For the pricing I feel like the laces should be better. They feel cheap. No matter how tightly i tie them they always come undone ruining my runs. So I put my nike laces on them.

The toe box was too wide, which was disappointing, so these will have to go back.....thank goodness for Zappos

The Gel- DS Trainer 25 were very appealing in color. However, these shoes ran a tad bit on the small said. There was no cushion to these shoes, and it was like walking on a hardwood floor.

The shoes are not comfortable to me, I'll be sending them back. I have had other ASICS and I have loved the way they feel. It's too bad as I loved the color of these!

Narrow. Narrow. Narrow. These shoes are super narrow. Cute. But not so good for my wide feet. These are the kind of shoes that feels great taking them off.

These shoes are my favorite shoes but sadly they are very cheaply made. I had these shoes for a few months and the sole started to peel. I got sent a replacement pair and figured the new pir would be fine but literally not even a month of having the new pair and the same exact thing is happening. I've only worn them inside at the gym, not even outside at all.

Not comfortable at all. I hate to think when I start using them as my walking shoes. I'll give them a try though.
