Great walking shoe!
I purchased these shoes to wear at work, and they've been a life saver!I work in retail and in general spend a lot of time on my feet. My feet do supinate slightly, and I have average arches and a medium width to my feet. These shoes fit true to size and are very comfortable. It took a day or two for my feet to adjust to the drop and the soles of these, but after that initial couple days, they've been a dream! The shoe molds really nicely around the heel and the laces are a very nice quality so they don't loosen up. I've been wearing these shoes every other day (I do alternate work shoes so that I don't wear through them too quickly) for a few months now and they've held up incredibly well! No weird compression in the soles and the upper fabrics still look like they did when I first got the shoes.Additionally, I usually find that I need to change out the insoles on most shoes I buy in order to get good arch support as well as cushioning, but I haven't felt the need to replace what already comes in these shoes. My arches don't hurt and the balls of my feet don't get sore.

Great Trail Shoes!
I recently started using ASICS road shoes, and really liked them. I do a lot of my training runs on trails, so I wanted to give these a try. I hesitate to buy shoes online, but took a chance. I absolutely love them. Comfortable and cushioned, but with just a bit of extra support and traction to work well over rocks, roots, and varied trail surfaces.

Over all, nice sho
Pros: Beautiful shoe! Love the dark teal sole and the tread. Very nicely made. Comfortable. Cons: Shoe laces are FAT and I could barely get them through the last heel lock hole (narrow feet and need the heel lock lacing). The laces intertwine with the center ribbon which is stylish but not all that functional. The laces are pretty but don't move well due to the thickness combined with the ribbon. By the time I'd tugged and yanked at the laces to tighten them, I was exhausted. Also, the tongue is short compared to most sneaker tongues. These are also extra long laces (52 or 56") not the standard 45", but they were almost too short. I bought long black flat laces which breezed through the holes and since they're thinner than the ones that came with the shoes, they seem a bit longer and work better. Also, these shoes may be too narrow for folks with wide feet. Now that I know thinner laces remedy the problem, I'll probably buy the other color shoe.

Great comfortable shoe w/ excellent support!
Great fit and support right out of the box. Wonderful support and cushion through the arch and toe box. The most comfortable shoe for walking, cross training, aerobics. The only problem is with the fabric on the medial side of the ankle in that it tears (perhaps due to rubbing/hitting against other shoe). I will continue to buy these shoes!

great trail shoe
I simply love the brand Asics, it has been my go to shoe brand for all my running needs. I have a normal arch and alight inward step with a shoe size of 7.5. In Asics I wear an 8 (as they tend to run .5 size smaller). This is an amazing shoe for trail running and people who do not run on sidewalks, pavement or treadmill. I highly recommend to any trail runner with a normal or high arch.Your arch and step depends on what shoe style works better for you. Athletic shoes are not a one size fits all.

Narrow fit, uncomfortable over time
I've had ASICS shoes before and liked them. So when a pair wears out, I buy ASICS again. I bought the same size as always. This shoe though is very narrow. I figured that if I really loosen the laces, and use them a lot, that they will stretch out to be comfortable. And that worked for awhile. I liked the cushioning on the bottom, and when I went on long walks, I enjoyed the spring I felt in my step. But after a couple of months, my foot started to ache slightly after long walks. An ache I associate with poor support for the shape of the bottom of my foot. I'm now going to buy another pair of shoes.

Stylish and Comfortable
I initially bought these for the gym but they are a bit bulky for me so now I use them more outdoors. There is plenty of room in the toe box and I have a fairly high arch and these feel supportive and comfortable and have a great tread.
