Half-Size too Small
Great running shoes! Great, supportive fit! Great neutral to pronate stance support. However, the shoes do run 1/2 size smaller than the norm and as a result, the 11s that I normally order were too small. But, the 11.5s fit perfectly. Also know that the shoes run quite NARROW. This is not a problem for me as I have narrow feet. But people who are normal to wide widths will definitely have an issue. Apart from all of the fit idiosyncrasies of these shoes, they feel great and I love wearing them. As you can see in the picture, I have replaced the laces with Lock Laces; elastic laces that increase and enhance a shoe's comfort and also decrease injuries. All of my athletic footwear has them. I would never use a pair of athletic shoes without Lock Laces, I love them so much. Highly recommend the Asics, just order a half-size larger.

Great Fit and Cushion, but Watch for Arch Support and Sizing
I recently purchased a pair of ASICS shoes, and I have mixed feelings about them. On the positive side, these shoes offer an incredibly comfortable fit and cushioning, which is perfect for long walks and light jogging. The softness and support in the sole make every step feel like walking on clouds.However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind before buying these shoes. First, if you need significant arch support, you might find these lacking in that department. I have fallen arches, and I had to insert additional insoles to get the support I needed. So, if arch support is essential for you, be prepared to make that adjustment.Secondly, the sizing was a bit tricky for me. I usually wear a size 12-12.5, but with these ASICS shoes, I had to size up to a 13 to get the right fit. It's crucial to follow the manufacturer's sizing guide and, if possible, measure your foot accurately before purchasing. This can save you the hassle of returns and exchanges.In conclusion, these ASICS shoes are a great choice if you're looking for comfort and cushioning, but be aware of potential issues with arch support and sizing. Make sure to measure your foot and consult the sizing guide to ensure the best fit for your needs.

OK but..
I've been an Asics customer for years and have always loved them. While this is a comfortable shoe, I find the toe box is a bit too narrow and the insole a bit thin. As a result it isn't as comfortable for me as in the past, which is why I gave it only 4 stars. Other than that it is a nice shoe.

Great comfortable shoe
I wanted to review this shoe to aid others in evaluating whether to buy a pair.I am notoriously hard to fit in any shoe, and I will not compromise on fit and comfort, and durability is an extra benefit. This shoe meets all of those standards for me.I wear a size 12 in most shoes, and they need to be wide too. I have previously bought Asics Gel-contend 3 size 12 4E width, and I wasn’t sure that the 12 Extra Wide was the same, but it is if you are wondering.Next, I was certainly not sure that the overall comfort of the shoe would match my previous Asics shoes which I loved, but these are exactly the same which kind of amazed me since my previous experience with shoes has been that you will find a brand and model that you really like, only to see them either discontinued or changed in design such that they are uncomfortable (Sketchers are you listening?). So my previous pairs are now over 6 years old and structurally sound, but looking a bit scruffy from daily use so I am happy that I found these, and I got the gray/red ones, and they are beautiful. I decided that since these fit so well that I would get another pair in all black so they won’t show dirt so easily.I realize that shoe preference is a pretty subjective thing since feet vary so much, so I hope my added details will help.

Best Bang For Your Big Foot Buck!
For the first time in my life I’m able to feel what it feels like when a shoe actually fits your foot perfectly like it’s supposed to.Measure the length of your foot from heel to top of your tallest toe. Write this down.Measure the width of the widest part of your foot usually just under the toes. Write this down.The length you want will be your length measurement + 1/2 an inch.If your foot is 4.5 inches wide or more you’re gonna want a wide shoe.But keep in mind one thing they don’t ever tell you to measure is your foots thickness. If your foot it kinda thick it might make sense to go for an extra wide because it will give you extra space to fit into.So I went with a Size 11 Extra Wide and it fits like a glove. For the first time in my life a heel isn’t moving around, my foot isn’t feeling totally crushed and there’s not too much space above my toes causing shoe creases.I also got these at a massive discount and am so thrilled with them I’m considering ordering another pair in the all black version.The first day I wore these shoes I felt so good wearing them that I walked 8 miles in them.Do yourself a favor, measure your feet properly and buy these amazing affordable shoes.

Great shoe
My teenage son loves these shoes. He has not wanted to switch, so we have bought him the same pair, just in different sizes, for years. For an active teen, they last about a year.
