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 best walking shoe I've ever owned, July 8, 2010

Used to be a New Balance guy, but the last pair of running shoes I got was the Asics Gel-Nimbus 12 because it was recommended at a running store and got very good reviews. Was so impressed with those that I decided to check out Asics walking shoes for daily use (at work, etc).

WOW, I am super impressed with the comfort and quality of Asics shoes in general, and specifically the Gel-Tech Walker Neo beats any other pair of walking shoes I've ever bought hands down. Good support, comfortable, nice cushioning, and the upper mesh is incredibly breathable (similar to a very breathable running shoe).

Price is a little steep for a walking shoe, but for someone like me who has had chronic knee issues, I'm willing to pay for quality.

Am going to get a second pair ASAP, although it would be nice if this shoe was released in two different color schemes so I could have two different-looking pairs!

I've had alot of shoes and have never been very happy with how they fit and feel. These are the most durable and comfortable walking shoes I've had. I have used them in a variety of terrains and they always feel comfortable. Nikes are a joke and a waste of money. If you want shoes that were made for walking and running, then go with Asics!

The ASICS walking shoe is an excellent product.I can't imagine that it would not make any walker of any age quite satisfied to own a pair of these shoes. I am 83 years old and suffer from peripheral neuropathy and these shoes help me a great deal in my walking. I should mention that these shoes were rated as a "best buy" by the Consumer Report magazine. All in all, it was a great buy!!
