Product Description

Don't start your performance training without the ASICS� GEL-Defiant� 2. This workout shoe is chock-full of features such as the visible Rearfoot GEL� Cushioning System for shock absorption and AHAR Plus� technology for extreme durability and longevity.

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.

    Size: 11 D(M) USColor: Charcoal/Black/Lime Punch Verified Purchase
    Boyfriend loves them! He needed a new pair of everyday athletic shoes, so I got them as a Christmas gift. I was looking around at different styles for a while, but my dad had already sold me on buying a pair of ASICS. He has been exclusively buying ASICS for his running shoes since getting his first pair years ago. As much as it may pain me to admit - it seems my dad was right, yet again!

    ASICS makes quality products. These have a great look and are very comfortable. I am no longer a runner and I find these great for just walking around.

    I went with ASICS at my wife's, who is a runner, recommendation. I like the support, feel and look although I was expecting a little more form fitting. Better than the ordinary cross-trainer; would buy again.

    My shoe size is 9 1/2 but since I bought these on-line I purchased size 10. They are still on the small size for me but they do just fit so I'll keep them. I haven't worn them yet, but they seem to be very well constructed.

    These are some comfortable shoes. I just bought them because they were cheap and I love Asics. But after wearing them, they are some good shoes.

    PROS
    - Great-looking ASICS-style shoe
    - Good arch support

    CONS
    - Amazon's fit calculator shows this D-width shoe to be as wide as other ASICS 4E-width shoes, which is not the case; this is a much tighter fit
    - Not available in wide sizes

    Super comfortable and best fitting shoe ever. For sport, i lace them comfortably and can wear them around unlaced and they still feel great. Like a pair of athletic slippers. My favorite shoe!

    I'm glad I discovered and ordered these. They work great for weightlifting, plyometrics and HIIT cardio. They're not too heavy and are very comfortable. I love them so far.
