Need half a size bigger.

This shoe runs 1/2 size smaller. I compared them to other Asics running shoes of the same size and they were about 3/8-1/2" shorter in toe width and 1/4" shorter in length. I sent it back and ordered the next half size up and it's more in line with my expectations. I usually defer a review until I have a better idea of how a product performs over time, but I thought others should be aware of the sizing issue. I'll update later on the overall quality.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

These shoes got my disabled veteran husband walking!

This year my husband decided to run a marathon with me. I've been wearing them for many years now and have always preferred ASICS. More specifically, the Gel Nimbus. I was nervous though as he had major reconstructive surgery on his leg while in the military where he still has 12 screws and 2 steel plates holding the leg together. Most often, after a long walk, he feels pain in the leg, which is to be expected after such a traumatic event in this area. However, I dare not stop him from this new

2nd pair of Gel Excite! Still great! (caution size)

I bought a pair of Gel Excite 2's in early 2015 and they have served me very well for all the 5k and 10k I've worn over the past 2 years and generally go. They were starting to wear out so I needed a second pair of running shoes. Look, the same shoe line was at 4 now; ie I am guessing there were 3. As a wide footed person I don't have many shoe options to start with anyway. I loved Excite 2 so you can bet I was looking forward to Excite 4 as much (pun intended). I really like the design and the

Have they shrunk?!?

I've been wearing Asics for 20 years. I still have several pairs in my closet and wear them almost every day. I bought two pairs because I couldn't find mainly white sneakers in my area. I tried them for the first time and they were tight. I thought ok I bought the wrong size (no I wasn't wrong) so I've been wearing them for a few months anyway and they are smaller than others I've bought in the past. I have four other pai and they are all the same size BUT they are pretty snug. I was in the…

Eased the pain as soon as I tried them on

I work as a waiter/bartender and when at work most likely on my feet or in motion. I ordered these shoes after looking for shoes that would help with knee and/or ankle pain (I have tendonitis in my left foot). I came home from work and hobbled around the house. I came home from work today and tried on my new shoes and my back and leg hurt less just from standing in them. I haven't worn them for long, but my first impression is very positive. I will inform you if this changes. As mentioned…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Will write later

Oh so practical. I think I'm walking on lips!

This is my fourth pair of Asics running shoes and I love them. They are light and comfortable. So comfortable it's almost like walking and walking on sponges! The first pair I ever bought was at a large sporting goods store. I fell in love with the Asics brand. I usually wear a size 9 to 9.5. The size that fit me best was a 10.5 with Asics. When they wore out I knew my size and have bought every pair at Revain since. Different models of this shoe vary slightly in size, but it's not that much…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

Lack of padding for men

I have worn many variations of Asics for over 10 years as they are always comfortable, have a consistent fit and are great value for money but these are by far the best and Most uncomfortable Asics I've ever seen, ever worn. I run 3 times a week and use my running shoes at the gym and they don't seem to cushion the heel or toe when exercising or walking. They're advertised as "Asics Gel" shoes, but they look more like the cheap $15 sneakers you get at Walmart.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Minor issues

too tight for athletic

Nice low fit running shoe but I find it unusually snug/snug. , but with this Gel-Excite 4, the toe box and instep were still very tight. If I forced myself to wear these shoes, the little toe side of my foot would end up sticking out the outside of the shoe. I don't know why the difference in width and fit is with ASICS. Instead I'm sticking with my ASICS Gel ventures where 10.5 Medium fits as expected. Skip the Excite if you have a narrow foot or don't want to experiment with width.

Pros
  • sequins
Cons
  • bothersome

Won't last a month longer

Inner healing started tearing after 1 month Update: I know my purchases are far away but I have some new gyms in case they get replaced is urgently needed. I used to buy this brand many times, but the quality has deteriorated. 2 pairs of shoes for a month. See attached photo. I wear these shoes 1-2 hours a day exclusively at the indoor gym. Never worn outside. These shoes have gotten miserable.

Pros
  • Looking forward to
Cons
  • No paint needed
