I will always buy ASICS. The shoe is a bit narrow across the width of the foot but over time I can see it stretching. The reason for low asterisks is that the area around the ankle is very stiff and rubs on the bottom of my ankles causing discomfort. I will order thicker soles to elevate my foot so it doesn't rub against my ankles. I will not be returning it as I feel it is well made except for the ankle area.
