- Judy L.2024-05-04Hooked on Asics shoes. Others I have tried don't compare. Comfortable, supportive, and last.
Going back a number of years ago, I wore only white running shoes (called gym shoes at the time). Christmas of 2016 my husband surprised me with a pair of Asics shoes in primarily coral. My first reaction was "Not white! Oh My God, they have to be returned.", but I tried them on so I didn't hurt my husband's feelings, and they were so comfortable. I am retired now, but when I worked at a job, I always matched my shoes and purse to my outfit. I discovered these shoes matched some of my t-shirts. The next day, I ordered a pair of Asics shoes in primarily red. Since Christmas of 2016, I have never worn white shoes again. Now I match my t-shirts to my shoes and even match my socks to my shoes. Incidentally, I still wear the original shoes from 2016, 8 years ago. They are starting to look worn, but they are still comfortable, and I still wear them. I have since bought Asics shoes in a number of different colors to match my t-shirts. I bought this pair in black/soft berry to replace a pair I bought in 2017 that are black/purple. The darker berry color is very similar to the purple in my old shoes. I still wear the older shoes, but wanted something that didn't look worn when I go out. I also bought the blue expanse/light sapphire shoes in this style, which I also love. As we all know, blue can be in different shades and have different tints. So, it can be difficult to match blue shoes to an outfit. Most of these shoes are a dark, true blue, and the accents are light blue and royal blue. So, these shoes would go with most shades of blue. These are now my favorite blue Asics shoes. The colors pictures on the Amazon page are exactly the colors of the shoes you get. As always, both of these Asics shoes are comfortable and fit perfectly in my normal size. The tops of these shoes don't look so much like mesh, which I like. I have tried other brands, but they have never been as comfortable and supportive as the Asics shoes, nor do they last as long. I wear this style and others in the Asics shoes all day, gardening outdoors, cooking in my kitchen that has a hard ceramic floor, and working on my basement garden on a concrete floor. My feet never feel sore or tired at the end of the day. I also like that these shoes "breath". Whether I am wearing wool blend socks in the winter or thinner socks in the summer, my feet are always comfortable. Personally, I would not waste my money on any other brand, nor would I subject my feet to uncomfortable shoes. I do recommend these shoes without hesitation. I hope this review was helpful for you.
- Amazon Customer2024-07-13Great value, nice quality and comfortable running shoes
I ordered these because this brand makes high-quality running shoes. I did not order them for running, I wear them for every day because I got the black/black color that matches everything. They are super comfortable, perfect for walking, running, hiking, anything active. This color would work for hospital nurses that need a peg colored shoes that are comfortable. I like this model because the shoe is secure around the toes and has good tread on the bottom so I don't slip. This brand always meets the standard, I ordered a different model for my daughter because she runs, they last her at least one year before she hast to replace them.
- Dorothy L.2024-05-27Surprisingly comfortable
The sneakers are more comfortable then I expected. A little more cushion and they’d 110%. They fit as expected, great for walking with good support. The grey color is nice. Hopefully the durability is good, but too soon to tell since I only just got them
- TMAfanVA2024-07-09Good fit
These fit well, a true wide width with a comfortable toe-box and instep. The color is nice. They aren’t as cushiony as other pairs of ASICS I have had. Perhaps this one isn’t meant to be as well cushioned as my prior pairs. I would still recommend it for fit. I’ve had them a few months and wear them several days a week. I work on my feet and they’re not showing any wear yet. I’m not athletic. But, I do wear them for a decent amount of walking and the soles are also not showing much wear.
- Kimberly Streich2024-07-10Comfy, Light Easy for Walking
This pair of shoes I never tried until they arrived. They fit perfectly (see their measure chart it is realistic) and pretty much what I needed. With Plantar Fasciitis I need a decent walking shoe that is comfortable, light and well-vented (we are in tropics 6 months out of the year). I did need to add a Dr. Scholl's insert for Plantar Fasciitis though because I noticed my foot was sore after a 3-mile walk without one. The combo of this shoe and inset is wonderful because I can easily do my 3-to-5-mile walks in these shoes with no pain. The bottoms also have good traction so for my turf walks this is very helpful. ** I do switch to another pair so alternating days to provide the shoe to 'recover'. I will buy this shoe again.
- Carollee2024-06-22Super supportive shoes
These shoes are amazing and so very comfortable, lightweight, and attractive. I’m on my feet most of the day and they keep me pain free. If I do not wear these shoes one day, the next morning I will wake up with low back pain. And they are very reasonably priced! I love them!! ❤️
- William2024-07-14Durable shoe with good arch support.
Very well made quality shoe with good sole. Comfortable and true to fit.
- Barbarbarb2024-03-16Runs small.
Update: I had went up 1/2 size from my normal size. They were too short. Sent them back and went up a full size. That didn't work out either. My feet were slip sliding around in them so I tied them tighter to prevent that. Because they were tied tighter my right foot (the bunion foot) went numb. Back they went. My quest for shoes I can tolerate continues. After a lifetime of being on my feet for work my feet have grown and have gotten wider. I also have a bunion which makes finding shoes I can tolerate extremely difficult. I went up half a size in hopes that this strategy would work out. It probably would have except that these shoes seem to run small... my toes were touching the end and I'm sure my feet wouldn't have tolerated that after awhile at work. Even though I ordered a wide size they also seemed to be a bit narrower than the wide shoes I do have. It was more like they were hugging the middle section of my foot but that felt tolerable. The cushioning is awesome though; it feels like walking on a cloud. I had to send these back because of my toes being all the way to the end issue. I've ordered a new pair a size larger than what I normally wear. Fingers crossed that will work out for me.
- Diana Sánchez2024-07-12Excelente compra
Por segunda vez compro está marca porque quedé 100% satisfecha con lo q buscaba que era su comodidad.trabajo todo el día de pie y caminando y necesitaba un calzado cómodo pq adicional tengo un juanete que me duele demasiado. Y con estos calzados no sufro nada de dolor. Yo soy usualmente talla 6 pero con esto q me salió un juanete ahora soy talla 6 1/2. Cómo dió la opción de escogerlos 61/2W así los pedí y me encantaron. Son mucho más ancho al frente y así no molestan a mi juanete. Quiero otro par pq estos últimos q compré son grises y pienso q se me podrían ensuciar por el color tan claro. Así q me compraré otro par más próximamente. Los amo💙
- Sarah Letherer2024-07-16Support comfort light
Shoe brand is in the top tier. Very comfortable and supportive. Very light, shoes are not heavy to walk in. My foot measurement is 9.25 (or 9 1/4). I wear size 7.5 regular (not wide width or narrow)in ASICS. My last pair was nearly 5 years old. Tread, inside and outside of shoe still looked remarkable, decided to get a new pair since it had been so long. After wearing my new pair, I won’t wait another 5 years to get another. The support in my old pair is worn even though it looks great.
