I was delighted to find highly rated Asics shoes at such a great price. I've only worn Asics GT 1000's and they were about the same and about the same price. since launch. I've had the cheapest discount running shoes a few years ago and only Asics since I started running seriously so I was surprised at the pain caused. Problem. This seems to be the standard policy when shoes are put on but is very disappointing as the shoes are causing constant pain/injury.
