Perfect Fit and Super Comfortable

I just got these shoes in the mail, and used them immediately for a run. Not only did they provide good support, they were super comfortable - right out of the box! No need to "wear them in" as they say. The colors are exactly as pictured, if not better, and they're just so beautiful. I love these shoes! They fit as expected, not to narrow (and I have wide feet) and I can literally wear them all day long. No blisters or discomfort, nothing. And the best part is they're very light. Great shoes! I would highly recommend them for runners or walkers!

Comfortable and love the color!

I can workout in these, walk in these, stand in these or sit at my desk in these and they are comfortable! I feel they are supporting me. I've had lots of back and hip problems and I feel I can trust these shoes to be supportive. I also love the color with them having both blue and black in them; they match a lot of clothes!

A++++++

These are great "sneakers" for all day wearing. I am on my feet for 10+ hours a day during work, and I do not have the least bit of discomfort. This is my second pair of these within the last 9 months. I got another pair so I can alternate them throughout the week. My first pair was purchased from a reputable footwear store where I went in and actually had a professional tell me what size I should be wearing. Much to my surprise, it was a half size bigger than what I had been purchasing for many years! This has made all the difference in the world in how my feet can stay comfortable all day long. Seriously, I am out the door at 4am and they don't come off until I finally arrive back home which can be as late as 4pm! I highly recommend these shoes and you can't beat the price. These were half the cost of what I paid for my very first pair! Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed!!

Super good shoes - not for wide feet sadly

These are very cute shoes, however, they were too narrow for me. As other reviewers said, they seemed tight to get on at first but they do relax once you get your foot in. Unfortunately, the width of the shoe just wasn’t a match for me. I didn’t return them because my sister fell in love with them and bought them from me, so they found a good home anyways. Great for narrow feet!

Had to order a full size down! Otherwise very comfortable and great colors!

I have been wearing ASICS for over 20 years and have always worn a women’s 9.5B. When these arrived they were way too big! I had to return them and order a full size down (8.5B). I have high arched, narrow feet and the arch support is less than desired but adequate. These are very light weight and cushioned. I was able to wear them for a full day out of the box at work (I stand and walk all day on tile floor) and had no issues. Very happy with these shoes. Not sure how long the upper will last in the big toe area. So glad ASICS is bringing back the beautiful, bright colors!

Great quality, comfort, support

I usually wear size 6 shoes, but my last pair of ASICS were 6.5, so I ordered the same this time around. I have feet that are in between normal and wide, and these are very comfy without being a specifically wide size. I wear these for walking, light running, and for everyday stuff, keeps my feet from hurting and my knees from getting achy thanks to great support.The last thing I'll say is in praise of ASICS in general. I had a pair before this that I completely wore out, after using them for several years longer that I probably should have. Even in their worn out state, they were still gave me more support and were more comfortable in a job where I was on my feet all day on concrete floors than brand new shoes from other brands. It was a no-brainer to turn to ASICS again, and I'll probably continue to do so.

They're ok. Sole too thick and lacking in arch support for me.

so, let me start this out with saying that I'm flat footed, so that probably affects how these shoes feel to me. They're alright, I would say they're good for running, but that's kind of it, not really great for walking or light trail hiking, which is weird cause running is just fast walking right? This all comes down to the cushioning though. It's very bouncy and comfy, feels like you're walking on a pillow, which is also the problem, cause a pillow is terribly unstable, which is, I'm assuming, why shoes were invented. For running on even ground (like a sidewalk or other pavement) these are great as long as you're paying attention to land correctly everytime. It's bouncy, and feels like I'm running on a trampoline almost. The problems start though, when you're not paying as much attention to how your feet land every time (like when you're enjoying the scenery or doing anything other than running on pavement). Because of the excess cushion and thick sole, landing not perfectly in the center leads to a very high probability of the side of the shoe coming to the ground rather than the typical bottom of the shoe. Not ideal unless you're looking for rolled ankles. Maybe this is just me though, as I typically run in worn out vans because I like their sensitivity and closeness to the ground.Also, my second point, and this is probably where the flat-footedness comes in, the arch support, while looks like it's there, collapses or compresses pretty readily to almost be useless. For anyone flat-footed, this will become very tiring after walking for any decent amount of time (for example, I wore mine on a trip to IKEA). Anyway, that's my take.
