From the Manufacturer

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this shoe1, July 22, 2009

I bought the ASICS GEL-150 TR Training Shoe, based upon a recommendation I read in Consumer Reports. I walk at least 3 miles, 5 or more days a week, and needed a comfortable shoe for my almost 61 year old body. I tried them for the first time today, and boy was I impressed. They were much easier on my feet than the expensive New Balance running shoes I'd always bought. The fit and cushioning are exceptional. This is my first pair of ASICS, and obviously not the last. You can't beat the price. I got them for $65 online. I'd always paid at least $100 retail for running shoes. What a bargain!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but if you have wide feet.., August 3, 2009

Very comfortable walking/running shoes. They are flexible and the most "cushiony" shoes I have ever had, maybe too soft if you are running for speed and distance. But if you have wide feet, be aware that they are not as wide as the should be. I normally buy wide or E shoes and get a good fit. After having a similar problem with New Balance shoes, I ordered the 4E width of the GEL-150. I can wear these, but the laces have to be let out so far that barely enough are left to tie the shoe, and I am skipping the top set of holes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worked out well..., August 30, 2009

I ordered this model online because I could not find it in the local stores. I was interested in a training shoe and this one met my criteria. Another factor for pursuing this particular model is that it was recommended by Consumer Reports.

My initial reluctance to ordering shoes online was the uncertainty of how it would fit. Not all brands are true to size... some are too loose, some are too tight. This particular model, as it turns out fit perfectly. They are also very comfortable and supportive. I would have preferred they come in a finished leather rather than suede, but I knew this ahead of time.

They arrived sooner than expected, so overall, everything worked out well.
