I've been wearing ASICS shoes for years and decided to try them at a cheaper price. While they work fine for a few weeks, they definitely wear out quickly. I only wore them as casual shoes, no training or running in them. I'm used to wearing quality ASICS shoes for 6-12 months, but I only had about 1-2 months before my feet started to hurt in them. Spend the extra $50 and buy better quality shoes.
