I almost always buy Asics shoes and I usually like them. They got good reviews and I thought I'd give them a try. As soon as I put the right boot on I had a spot that pressed a little on the back of my cure. I thought it might break it and it didn't cause any blisters or anything. but it's still annoying. It seems that my shoes have a small defect that is very annoying. Otherwise they are good and maybe my problem is just an accident.
