Color at top of shoes NOT as represented. They're actually a hideous bright neon pink. Doesn't work with the rest of the shoe which nice looking. These shoes could have worked for walking, light hiking etc., but have minimal arch support, so I would've had to replace innersoles with orthotics.

I ordered my regular size 8 1/2 and was happy that the box area had room for my wide feet, sometimes it is too narrow. That being said, as I started wearing them, they started stretching out, and now feel too big in the box area, but the length is good. I could not go down to an 8. I also do not like the mid top. No, I would not buy these again.

I wear high-top hiking boots all the time so I was hoping for some ankle support for my routine walking and bought these shoes. I love asics and wear them all the time, but the high tops in these shoes caused really bad blistering and I have not been able to wear them since the first day. I was not able to fasten them securely enough around the ankle that I could avoid the rubbing. I will try again, but I wanted to put out a word of warning that these shoes may not work for you.

Runs small compared to other Asics I've purchased. Really cute though.

I got these to try because they are made out of all synthetic materials (vegan). Wood Crepe/Rosequartz color is very cute and I really like the look of mid top. I wore them for the first time all day when I was traveling and they felt comfortable, so no break-in time necessary. I have narrow feet but I felt like they were very tight in the toe box, and I had to go up a full size which solved the issue. I would have liked removable soles, so I can use something more cushiony but otherwise I am really happy with them.

Very comfortable and supportive sneakers. The fit like a glove and support my deformed ankle that is weak.

So comfy! Used them for a hiking trip in Utah. Was thoroughly surprised on how comfortable they were. They were super lightweight and almost inexistent .

I think they run generously sized. I ordered a size 9 hoping to fit a heavier sock .... fit is perfect and the shoe is very supportive around the top of my feet and low ankle. I am pleased and very comfortable with my foot issues of pain and arthritis. I like this color combo as well. I recommend trying this Asic and I plan to order again. Arch support isn't very noticeable but I felt comfortable with what is there.

Hard to find a mid-top shoe, love the extra ankle support. Great buy from ASICS.

The shoe is great for me. I do think there could be a bit more cushioning on the inner sole other than that I do like the fit and step

I wear a 9 - 9.5 in tennis shoes and hiking boots. Most reviews I read said the shoes run a little small in the length. I ordered them in a 9.5. They fit really well. I can wear thicker socks with no problem. I believe the reviews regarding the length of the shoes maybe valid. If you are between sizes, I would order up 1/2 size. I'm currently wearing them in AZ for some light hiking. No issues other than they rub the back of my heels a little. I've been wearing them all day.
