Hooked on Asics shoes. Others I have tried don't compare. Comfortable, supportive, and last.
Going back a number of years ago, I wore only white running shoes (called gym shoes at the time). Christmas of 2016 my husband surprised me with a pair of Asics shoes in primarily coral. My first reaction was "Not white! Oh My God, they have to be returned.", but I tried them on so I didn't hurt my husband's feelings, and they were so comfortable. I am retired now, but when I worked at a job, I always matched my shoes and purse to my outfit. I discovered these shoes matched some of my t-shirts. The next day, I ordered a pair of Asics shoes in primarily red. Since Christmas of 2016, I have never worn white shoes again. Now I match my t-shirts to my shoes and even match my socks to my shoes. Incidentally, I still wear the original shoes from 2016, 8 years ago. They are starting to look worn, but they are still comfortable, and I still wear them.I have since bought Asics shoes in a number of different colors to match my t-shirts. I bought this pair in black/soft berry to replace a pair I bought in 2017 that are black/purple. The darker berry color is very similar to the purple in my old shoes. I still wear the older shoes, but wanted something that didn't look worn when I go out.I also bought the blue expanse/light sapphire shoes in this style, which I also love. As we all know, blue can be in different shades and have different tints. So, it can be difficult to match blue shoes to an outfit. Most of these shoes are a dark, true blue, and the accents are light blue and royal blue. So, these shoes would go with most shades of blue. These are now my favorite blue Asics shoes. The colors pictures on the Amazon page are exactly the colors of the shoes you get.As always, both of these Asics shoes are comfortable and fit perfectly in my normal size. The tops of these shoes don't look so much like mesh, which I like. I have tried other brands, but they have never been as comfortable and supportive as the Asics shoes, nor do they last as long. I wear this style and others in the Asics shoes all day, gardening outdoors, cooking in my kitchen that has a hard ceramic floor, and working on my basement garden on a concrete floor. My feet never feel sore or tired at the end of the day. I also like that these shoes "breath". Whether I am wearing wool blend socks in the winter or thinner socks in the summer, my feet are always comfortable. Personally, I would not waste my money on any other brand, nor would I subject my feet to uncomfortable shoes.I do recommend these shoes without hesitation. I hope this review was helpful for you.

Great Workout Shoes
Very durable, comfortable, super lightweight and wide. The grip was super slippery at first I had to scuff them on the pavement before I walked on my treadmill. But great purchase in all. Fit on the smaller side sized up 1/2 size and normally I’m a true 7

Runs Small.
I ordered this shoe in red. Very cute. I buy Asics almost exclusively for my walking shoes. They are comfortable and durable. I never get blisters. My foot is quite narrow. I made a mistake keeping this size, however. My foot is a size 7.5 (U.S) but some of my Asics are 8 and some are 7.5. It seems to depend on the model of the Asics shoe, and even the model version/number. I wish I had returned this pair and gotten the larger size. My toes touch the front of the toe box. I’m hoping they will stretch out with use. For now I’m just wearing them around town and not using them for my daily walk. Next time I will be more decisive and take advantage of return policies. I will stick with Asics though, because I think they are a good value for my money.

Wonderful shoes
I am never sure about ordering shoes online. My feet are wider than many of the shoes online for ladies. I had an ankle fusion on one ankle and consequently that foot is a half-size bigger and wider. I got them this morning, and I have been wearing them all day. Very comfortable and very fashionable. Very nice for the price. They work better than my high-cost orthopedic trainers.

Great Shoe
ASICS sneaker is a great fitting shoe. I’ve worn this brand for years. Always comfortable for me with good support for my feet. I wear inserts, so order a half size larger. Great price too!!

I don’t usually leave reviews but…
These shoes are amazing! I’m usually a Brooks shoe brand girl and also don’t buy a lot of clothes online, I vary in size depending on brand so I like to go in-store. However, I was looking for new shoes and these caught my eye with the design and the fact that they had a size 12 Wide, not many shoes brands offer that fit. So I bought them and told myself if they don’t work out I can always return them. HA! NO NEED THEY ARE GREAT! Now I’ve only had them for less than a week, but they just support my big, wide, and flat feet in all of the right places! They’re also comfortable my feet don’t hurt at all no matter how long I wear them and no ‘new shoe break in’ period where your feet have to get used to the shoe or anything like that. From the first time I tried them on it was like I’ve warn them already (if that makes sense). Let’s see what else…I think that’s it.
