Great shoes, but one size bigger!

I usually wear a size 9.5 or 10. I just had to listen to the reviews but Amazon told me to order a size 9.5 so I ordered it. They arrived and were too cozy for my liking. The toe seems narrow and I decided to size them up. 10s fit much better.

Pros
  • Great overall specs
Cons
  • So far so good

Best for Running Running

Every Nike running shoe I've had has given me problems. This shoe fits my feet and offers much more support around the ankle and arch when running. rivers don't. But this is on a grand scale. They appear to be normal for slim because they enclose the legs with padding around the ankle and arch of the foot. Very comfortable brand for walking.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • There are nuances

It's like putting your foot in a box instead of a shoe.

I understand that every shoe has a break in period, this shoe was like putting your foot in a box. It didn't go small as other reviewers put it, it just doesn't have arch support for my high arches and I was expecting heel cushioning but it wasn't there. Also, there is an odd bump in the ball area that looks like a tennis ball under my foot. Terrible shoes. Terrible.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • I don't remember

I have orthotics and have been told to wear well fitting shoes that support my flat arches and are slightly higher in the back than some of the shoes we buy. I started with Ascis and chose them because I know my orthotics will fit and support my feet. Most shoes from cheaper stores just don't fit me and I end up throwing them away. I love my Asics so much I wear them until they wear out.

Pros
  • handy
Cons
  • damaged

Really Asiki?! My feet don't lie.

Asics usually run small but not this pair. I bought women's size 8 and they fit WIDE size 9 more. Was returned due to wrong shoe size. Today I went to the Asics store to have my feet measured in case my feet are getting smaller (insert sarcasm) - no, still a size 8! So I tried on a pair of Asics women's size 8 running shoes and they fit like a glove. Hmm, did Revain send me a real pair of Asics or a fake?!

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

BAD gel, BAD tip adhesive, normal overall texture

A plus, I like the color. But I noticed that there was an Asian inscription on one of the corners of the box, which made me wonder if they sent me a fake. The size was right. I would NOT recommend this shoe for standing/walking work. After about 3-4 days I no longer felt the support of the gel. Disappointed that they failed so quickly. In less than 6 weeks the glue on the toe of one of the shoes came loose. They lasted the 6 weeks I needed them for, but I would have liked them to last longer…

Pros
  • Firm surface
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Great fit shoes with big toe box

I have ordered at least 15 pairs of shoes to look for the perfect fit. These sneakers finally are. I put these shoes on immediately and felt comfortable. I wore it to tap class the next morning and spent 45 minutes trying it out! 100% passed! My toes felt good, my arches felt good, and so did my heels and the rest of my feet. Absolutely no pain or discomfort! I can not believe that. That corresponds to the size. I usually wear a 7.5 and that's what I bought. I have a slightly wide foot, a…

  • Very good value for money

I still love Asics!

This is a real review. I've been wearing Asics for years. I noticed that they have been cutting the interior of shoes for the last 2-3 years. Unfortunately they are not that wide. Check out the picture where I compare the Gel Noosa Tri 9 to this shoe. Shoes are placed on the side. As you notice, Gel 4 is sewn tightly to the base of the shoe with a plastic construction. The Tri 9 doesn't have that, which makes the shoe give more at the widest part of the foot! If you're not concerned about the…

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Replacement availability
