I have ALWAYS worn Asics as it is the best value for money for me. I discovered her in the Marine Corps and have no regrets. I usually buy mid-range sneakers, but I decided to spend a little more this time and buy better sneakers. Wrong answer. I have a wide lapel and although they are "wide" they are actually a standard size and very narrow. It's too late to return it, otherwise I would have done it. They make my feet numb when I walk, so they've become my go-to shoe for mowing the lawn. It's an Asics Strikeout. I don't recommend if you have a wide foot.
