Review on ASICS Gel-Excite 8 Women's Running Shoes by Justin Gerrero

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great until there is a hole in the top of the shoe

These shoes are very comfortable and feel light. They have a pleasant "walking on clouds" feeling and good grip when walking and jogging. The shoes are wide enough so that the toes are not pinched at the sides or at the tips - they are a normal size. Unfortunately I have one foot one size bigger than the other which makes it difficult to find the right pair of shoes. They fit pretty well - my big foot doesn't touch the tip and the smaller foot doesn't move too much. The laces are too small for shoes (as reported by other reviews) but I managed to use them and they stay knotted most of the time. Unfortunately, there is a hole in the upper of the shoe where the rubber meets the fabric. To be clear, it's not because my toe touched the edge. I've had boots since mid-July this year and the hole appeared at the end of October (same year). I've only worn them a few times this summer, up until the end of September I mostly wore sandals. I use them to walk my dog and have walked in them a few times. The rest of the shoe still looks and feels almost new, but the hole is a big problem and once formed it will only get bigger. Shoes don't last forever, but they didn't last long and they don't come cheap. I like them so much I'm tempted to buy another pair but I won't risk spending that kind of money.

Pros
