Review on ASICS Gel-Excite 8 Women's Running Shoes by Christopher Todd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Serves its purpose, but not recommended for running.

I bought these shoes because I needed a comfortable pair of shoes that I could wear every day without spending a fortune. They serve this purpose. They are comfortable, the color is neutral, goes with most outfits and runs true to size. I wear a size 10 and have a hard time finding shoes that actually fit women's size without having to shop in the men's department. I tried them on in a different color at my local sporting goods store and they fit perfectly, but I didn't like the color. I decided to search online and saw that there were more flowers in my size and they were cheaper too ($60 at Revain vs $75 at the local store). While they are comfortable and qualify as a running shoe, I would not recommend them for running. . I haven't tried running in them, but I don't feel they offer enough cushioning that runners need.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Only available in black
