Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Pulse® 12 Mono-Sock

The reviews are right: ASICS has totally changed their design, and the toe box is ridiculously too narrow. I have a narrow foot and these are way too tight, even going up a full size. It almost feels like there were no focus groups done with actual women, to test these shoes. I wish ASICS would read our Zappos reviews. I purchased three different types of ASICS shoes -all with flexible mesh fabric - and none are useable. Also, note, this is a 'sock' style shoe even though it has laces, which I do not like -and makes and already narrow shoe almost impossible to get into. Very disappointed, especially since they are pretty to look at. Absolutely do not fit. I would not recommend these to anyone. Thank you to Zappos for easy returns.

A lot of people say this runs small and it does- but not small as in too short or narrow- its just tight. I have very skinny feet- as in regular width, but they are just bony and very flat (low volume, I guess). The kind of feet that slide out of slides because my foot is just skinny. So- these are perfect because it actually feels like a tight sock! I wear a 10.5 in street shoes and always go to 11 for athletic for a little extra room when moving. These ended up being great in the 11 and I dont have to lace them super tight. No problem slipping my foot in.

I love how they feel. So much cushion. I feel like I need to wear a little thinner sock then traditional running socks. Love how the tongue is attached, and there's no separate piece to get balled up.

Very comfortable, does fit a bit more snug than other ASICS in the same size, but I believe it is meant to be more fitted with this shoe design.

Order a half size up! These run small, unlike their other styles.

These are such a great looking running shoe and I Wanted so much to love them but they felt too tight in an 8 1/2. Felt a half size small on me. My big toe was hitting the shoe. The built in tongue made it difficult to slip the foot in easily and the width felt narrow and I don’t have big feet. Unfortunately these beauties had to go back.

These looked cool but they are really a blue color shoe not the white/blue as they appear on line. The fit is very snug and the width in the toes is tighter than other adidas so even If I would have been able to wear and stretch these out I feared the fabric in the toe area would tear prematurely. If yon don’t wear a sock or one really thin and your foot in the toe box is quite narrow these are a good looking shoe. With the “built in” sock feature I don’t think you will collect any rocks. The arch support was minimal.

I bought a medium width and they were still too narrow for my feet.

Shoes were too small. I usually buy the cheaper ASICS and they run big. These are truer to size - I assumed all ASICS would run the same but they don’t. Plus I didn’t like not having a tongue - could hardly get them on but, of course, they were too small anyway. Won’t be purchasing the larger size.
