Like some of the other posts, these shoes are HURT. I alternate this shoe with another pair of ASICS so I don't kill my feet. Well these shoes were never comfortable and I wore them long weekends, BIG mistake. I felt a feeling of tension and direct pain in the tip of my foot. Worst of all I contacted ASICS, they said there was nothing wrong with it. My advice is if you receive this shoe and don't like it immediately, send it back ASAP.
