I have had these shoes for a couple of months and they are by far the best fitness shoe I have come across in the last ten years. It is important to keep in mind that the White/Storm/Lilac shoe is a slightly different design from the White/Blue/Silver in terms of material used for the upper. I have the White/Blue/Silver which has the more solid leather-style upper with minimal mesh, whereas the other is a primarily mesh upper. I am testing a pair of the competitor's fitness shoes that have the primarily mesh upper and I have to say that these Asics are far superior. I wear a 7.5 US with a medium width and the Gel-150TR shoes fit true to size. They are comfortable, with just the right amount of cushion on the inner sole and the perfect arch support for someone with average to slightly high arches. With every other fitness shoe I have tried I have needed an arch supporting insole just to keep my arches from spasming, but that problem is nonexistent with these shoes. They are holding up well both structurally and aesthetically and I plan on buying another pair in a couple of weeks "just in case." The shoes I fall in love with always seem to go out of style and these are far too comfortable and cute to miss out on.

I have owned many pairs of Asics over the years and one thing I've learned is they do not run true to size. Never experienced this problem with other brands of sport shoes only with Asics. If you need an 8, order an 8 1/2, etc. That is why I gave this only 4 stars. This is the first time I've purchased this model GEL-150 Training Shoe. I wear a 7W but a size 7 in Asics is usually too short and is more like a 6 1/2 so I ordered this shoe in 7 1/2W The length is exactly like a a 7 so I'm happy about that, however, even though it is W width it is not a true wide (just slightly more roomy than a medium width - and Asics does not make WW). It fits ok as long as I do not wear thick sport socks. Now for the positive features of this shoe. It has excellent arch support for those who have fallen arches or have flat feet and if you need special arch support you can substitute your own orthotics. It also has great stability to keep your foot from pronating. All in all it is a good shoe but I do wish that Asics would make their shoes in true sizes and widths.

These cross-training shoes used to be made well and were very comfortable and supportive. Through the years I've gone through several pairs. My latest pair was disappointing, though, because the sides of the shoe don't come up as high, therefore the laces wind up covering more of the top of the foot. The result is that they provide less support to the sides of the feet. My feet get tired faster and I don't feel as stable when exercising. I assume this was a cost-cutting measure by the manufacturer. I will try other brands in the future.

A great shoe for the price! This is my sixth pair of Asics shoes. I wish they made more styles in the 2E width, as this one fits much better than my others that are D width. Asics shoes seem to run small and narrow as I wear a 7.5 D in other athletic shoes. I need an 8.0 2E in Asics, but they are the best overall. I love the gel cushioning. This pair has more leather and less mesh, but it is very stiff leather! I'm wondering if I will ever get to "broken in" comfortable. I suffer with spinal stenosis and have had surgery, so I wear my Asics nearly all of the time. I'm still looking for that "perfect" athletic shoe, the one that I don't notice I am wearing even after several hours. This shoe is very supportive and well made. I would recommend them.

These shoes are great, comfy and good to run in, but when they arrived the soles on both sides were covered in black paint stuff..instead of being white like in the picture. They were obviously seconds and I would not buy from this supplier again..they did not say seconds...But they did arrive promptly, and were well packaged.

I bought these shoes because they were consumer report's top rated tennis shoe for women. I wear a size 5 1/2 but bought a six because my feet tend to be a little wide and the size 6 fits perfectly. My last pair of New Balance shoes were giving me blisters - these are wonderful!! No blisters and I can wear them most of the day as compared with other athletic shoes that I could usually wear for only a few hours at a time. My only gripe is the design - the little black specks on the inside of the shoe (looks like it's dirty) - but other than that I'm totally happy with my choice!

I ordered these shoes because I have always loved Ascis Gel shoes and the Size 8 always fit and was supportive and comfortable. (I normally wear a size 7 1/2 in regular shoes). My last pair of Asics Gels were my favourite EVER but were wearing out badly from the inside, around the toes & I knew it was time for a new pair. I ordered these and I was so disappointed to find that they were uncomfortable and felt distinctly short. I tried them for one class, wearing my orthotics and had terrible toe cramps. I will have to try again...but I don't think I will order shoes online again...even though aerobic shoes are almost impossible to find in stores...I will persist...

I'm an ICU nurse who works 12 hour shifts. I love these shoes because they fit wonderfully and my feet never hurt. The best part is that usually ASICS has that fabric material on their shoes, but these are rubber and easy to clean! That, and they match my uniform:)

Although I ordered my normal size the shoe was way too narrow and I returned it.

I read a review of these sneakers and they have totally lived up to same. they are great sneakers and I am ordering another pair.
