This is a very comfortable, lightweight running shoe that is reasonably priced. I would suggest going up a half size when ordering.

These were recommended to me after evaluation by a local running store from whom I bought a pair two-years ago and they finally have given out. They are very supportive and wide enough not to squeeze toes as a lost of shoes. I do wish they had better "big" toe coverage as there is only the mesh fabric there. Also, I would love it if they came in darker colors because the white and light colors can get very dirty. I have tried other "tennis shoes," but all others seem to need extra arch support and I do not even have a high arch, so I always end up going back to these.

I have a somewhat high arch and wide toe box, and I always use ASICS shoes. This one was great - I have had it for a year and am now looking to buy another pair of these or a similar one in the line. They offer good support for my light jogging and gym needs.

I have bought this shoe earlier, and I really like it for power walking and running. Unfortunately, this pair has problems with one of the shoes - the support is not as good as the other.

The first pair that I had were wonderful and lasted me six months (I exercise 6 days a week) so I was a little disappointed when this pair was not what I expected.

I bought these shoes for a combination of training, activities at the gym, and low distance running a few times a week. I have had them for about a year, and they have done great for everyday use like exercising at the gym, walking, or hiking small trails. I recently started running in them a couple of times each week and only made it a total distance of about 2 miles before the shoes really started to get to me. They do have good arch support, but for my foot and running style, I do not think these shoes are the best. I needed something with far more cushioning in the rear of the shoe and that was better suited for a mild under pronator.

The Asics Gel 1130 has been a great shoe so far. For running and exercise it provides the stability and more importantly cushion I need. 2 years ago I fractured my foot so I am very careful about what kind of cushion and support I select in a shoe especially for running which has the highest impact on my feet. So far- very happy!

Definitely do not buy these shoes if you have anything other than a perfect stride. Or if you plan to run more than 5 miles a week. Unlike my previous experience with the otherwise excellent Asics brand (I eventually replaced these with a different Asics model that better fit my stride and that I am very happy with), these seemed cheap and underbuilt. My knees started hurting almost immediately after switching to these (shoes not suited for very mild pronation), and the eyelets started ripping out within the first three weeks(shoes cheaply built). These would probably be fine as light-duty walking shoes, or shoes for the gym, but I can't recommend them for outdoor running.

I have bought them for my 11 year old daughter. She uses them to go to school and to work out. They are very confortable and beautiful.

Great product at a great price. Purchased for my wife. Great stability, cushioning, true to size. Wife wears them for work.

I received the Asics running shoes within a few days, and they came in brand new condition (as expected). I could never go back to another brand of running shoe - these are by far the most supportive and cushioned shoes I've ever owned. The size is dead on, too.
