Asics Gel-Craze TR 4 - awesome shoe!
I love these shoes, specifically for their fit and functionality. I have slightly narrow feet, but I find that these shoes fit perfectly. They have a lacing system that secures my feet comfortably. I normally wear a 10.5 or 11 (in most Asics) and went with an 11 for these and found this size as the best-fitting. They also have decent arch support, which is great for my flat feet.I mostly use these shoes for my workouts which are HIIT oriented, normally doing 3-6 exercises in a short amount of time. I sometimes incorporate sprints, as well. I wouldn't recommend these as a dedicated running shoe, but short distances (up to a mile for me) would be just fine.Overall, excellent shoe (and my favorite workout/casual shoe)!

Never been disappointed.
Asics shoes always fit me well, I guess the lasts they use are consistent with my foot shape. What I like is they fit the first day and are immediately comfortable and only improve with time. I've worn many other brands over the years, (I'm 75 yrs old) but have settled on Asics for all my sport shoes because of the fit, quality and comfort.

Snug
Love the style and comfort of these now that they're broken in but as some other reviewers pointed out these do fit a little snug.. initially these felt a bit awkward despite purchasing my usual shoe size.

Comfortable, but have some issues with quality
The grey gets dirty fast. The sole of the shoe started coming up after just a couple weeks of wear. I just used some superglue to glue it back and it has worked so far. They started to squeak when I would step forward after just a month or two as well. They are very comfortable, look great when they are new. If I had purchased a darker pair, that wouldn't have been an issue. The quality issues are a concern however. Asics customer service has a pretty annoying form to fill out if you want to fulfill the warranty on them too. As my pair definitely warranted fulfillment, but it was too much of a hassle to me. While these are not running shoes, I have worn them to jog for a few miles and they work fine for that.

I love the TR3 the TR4 is ok
I have bought several pairs of each series of the Gel Craze TR shoe. The TR4 is my least favorite so far, the reason being they left out the padded tongue on the version which makes it a little uncomfortable on the top of the foot. All the other TR series prior had the padded tongue. From the first TR I have purchased 14 pairs including 2 pairs of these, had I been able to try them on before purchasing I would not have bought this series and would have purchased 2 extra of the TR3. Still a good shoe minus the revamped tongue.

Excellent for walking and working out
I used to wear Asics Tiger Gel Kayanos for walking. However, if you're like me (which I didn't know at first), if you want to be more planted or more rooted to the ground, the TR4 is for you. Prior, I thought the Kayanos were the ultimate walking shoe (aside from its normal purpose, running). They are stable, very cushioning and just comfortable. However, after wearing the TR4s for a while, I found that I prefer a more grounded feel than the Kayanos so I switched. As I continue to wear the TR4s, I find my foot adjusting more and more to this shoe and the shoes are getting better and better. As for working out, they work very well too. I do not know about the durability yet but for performance, the TR4 is among the best I've tried once your foot adjusts to it. It's not for everyone though, it just depends on what you prefer.
