I am very happy with my purchase. I was leery about purchasing workout shoes online but after they arrived I wore them around the house before using them to workout. I have done an array of different things while wearing them, i.e. walking, elliptical, stair master, and running, and they have felt great through all of them! I would definitely recommend to others!

I have a pair of Asics running shoes that I use for walking and have been extremely satisfied with them! So when I was needing a cross-trainer for the gym and low-impact aerobics it was a "no-brainer" that I would go with an Asics again. I ordered the same size as my runners and they fit perfectly! The price was very reasonable too!! If you love Asics and are in need of a cross-trainer I'd definitely give this shoe a try!! They look good on too!!

I developed plantar fasciitis last year and got orthotics fitted this Winter. My doctor told me I needed to wear shoes with a firm base which don't twist too much and with excellent arch support. He approved of these and my feet are so happy in these. And they're very breathable and light which is great for those who run a little warm. I ordered my regular size and they fit perfectly. I'm very happy with my purchase & amazon had the best price (& you gotta love the free 2 day shipping with amazon prime). I'll be back for more Asics when these are worn out.

Was surprised by this shoe. In all my years of ordering size 9's from Asics, this one is actually a bit on the small side for me. Considering I had the earlier model of this style, and they were huge and bulky, the TR 260's have lost some serious weight! But with any weight loss, this is good. It sure looks good on my feet, I have the blue/silver color, and it feels really lightweight too. The only slightly too small part is width-wise, my big toe's scraping the top of the shoe. Good thing there's mesh at the toe part, it has a lot of give to it, so I expect this to stretch out with further use. If you took that little irritating bit out, the fit is the usual almost glove-like one I expect from them.

Ok so I loved the shoe already fit and looks-wise, how is it cushion-wise? Here's the part where I didn't love it that much. Overall cushioning felt fine at the start. But then, there's this part at the forefoot where you feel the plastic "support" across it. If you didn't do too much high impact excercises, your ok. But start jumping, you'll really begin to feel this at your forefoot, my left toe started to go numb at one point. Not good I was thinking. Then I used it just yesterday for a marathon session of Jukari and Zumba, and boy my forefeet were aching after. Was really let down at this point, I expected much more from these shoes, my older Antares model did an even better job cushioning. The upside, and here's where the shoe really shines, the 260's stability is great! When your balancing on a Core Board, this shoe rocks!

So after my initial dissapointment, I remembered I had these ProFoot Miracle Insoles and swapped out the original for them. Just came back from another Zumba class this evening and boy, those insoles just did the trick! Now they're as cushioned all over as I want. The true test will be a Body Combat class this Friday. Hope this works for that as well and these shoes will be redeemed. Who knows, maybe even another star added. Updates to follow.

When they first arrived and I tried these on, I thought the fit was great but after wearing a few times I feel like the toe portion of the shoe has stretched out. The thick back heal portion is too stiff and rigid and rubs against the upper portion of the heel. They're very uncomfortable and I doubt that I can wear them any longer. I do not wear my fitness shoes back and forth to class or outside of class. I have worn them only in a one hour strength class approximately six times. They've become downright painful! Unfortunately, I've waited over 30 days and I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done.

I really love these shoes. Very comfortable!! The gel insole is very nice. They are a good price for the shoe.

Loved the shoe when it first arrived but by day 31 the heel inside lining had disintegrated into black dust bunnies! WE ALL KNOW AFTER 31 DAYS OUR REFUND IS OVER!

I walk every day for 2.5 to 4 miles and need a shoe that is comfortable, breathable, and provides support. I've purchased this gym shoe over 5 times already and have always found immediate comfort, with no required "breaking in" time. Love it.

I tried this shoe at my husband's suggestion. He has used the men's version and said the shoe felt responsive during his outdoor runs. I use this shoe mainly for my weight lifting session. Mostly this is basic lifts, but I do incorporate some speed drills and plyometrics. The shoe is stable and comfortable. My foot is an average width, and this toebox is plenty roomy so my toes do not feel smashed together. The price was great for the quality; I am happy with my purchase and will probably buy Asics shoes again in the future.

I have this shoe in 3 colors and use it for weight training and aerobics/cross training. They fit true to size and are very comfortable. I would definately purchase more as needed. Great buy!
