When i first tried these shoes on, I thought it was too good to be true. I have had these shoes for about 4 months now and they still look pretty new. These shoes are very durable and the gel pads take in the shock from when your feet hit the ground and add stability. I recently ran a marathon with these shoes and my feet didn't hurt at all afterword.(That's pretty amazing considering no other shoe gave me that much comfort during a marathon). These are a great pair of running shoes for all athletes. Overall, I was very impressed with this product.

I am on my 3rd or 4th pair of these, as I also switch mine out every 5 months or so. I tried some $ 45 New Balance shoes on, and then these. The ASICS felt much more solid and stable and substantial, and yet light, than the New Balances for the same price. Very good shoe for the price.

Great shoe! I'm on my second pair now. They wore fairly well, considering I'm more than 200lbs and I over-pronate.

I've you like to replace your running shoes every three months or so these are great and very affordable.

Good shoe for casual use. Not a good choice for the avid runner. Little padding in the forefoot. These are typical dept. store quality shoes. A good price, however if you look hard enough you can find better Asics at the same price.

I've been wearing ASICS for a few years now. I bought these for my boyfriend for Christmas, and he absolutely loves them. He has high arches. His old sneakers were giving him shin splints, and he has none with these.

I bought the same thing for myself but in women's. I also love them.

I like Asics because they fit well, which is a problem with other athletic shoes. I can order a pair online, receive them in a few days, immediately put them on and not be aware that they are new. That's comfort, and that's a plus. The pair I purchased is inexpensive and not expected to accomplish demanding sports. In fact, I use them for walking. They last about six months, but I walk a lot. The padding could be greater, but I could buy a more expensive style, too. So, for the price, they meet my needs. That I know the fit will be good and comfortable is reassuring in an age when shoe sizes are measured in inches and designed in metrics. I might move up to a higher-priced style eventually to see whether they will last longer and, ergo, make the investment worthwhile; but, for now, these are fine. My only complaint is that Asics running shoes seem, in general, not to be designed to ward off rain. Mine always act like a sponge and that's even if it isn't raining -- just having rained, with the streets still wet, will be enough and my shoes (and socks and feet) will be soaked in no time. Do something about that, Asics, and you'd probably sell more of these.

I bought these shoes based on price, description and reviews from fellow runners. True to size and easy on the heel-strike! I have to say that I have now had these for a few weeks and I have put them through the wringer. I run on the pavement, street, grass and in the rain. Although they are not slip resistant (nothing really is on wet pavement or in mud) or trail shoes, they have great overall traction and killer traction on dry pavement. My only mistake is that I only bought one pair. I will be buying another, when they are available (they are currently out of stock). Hope this helps....good running!

Excellent running shoes, light but firm, very comfortable and the designs features the Asics brand. I am very happy with them. 100% Recommended

Would not waer them out besides to run, but dont hurt my feet. I am military and run 3-5 miles a day 5 days a week and they are great.

This is a very good shoe, well made and the cushioning is unbeatable, First time i buy asics and it beats all my other shoes
