I love ASICS running shoes because they always fit me perfectly and look good. I recently had to order a pair online because my son is 15ft and you can't get that size in stores. We have these shoes and they look very good but the inner stripe that the laces go through is a little stiff and my son's feet get chafing. He had to wrap it inside each shoe with thick tape so it wouldn't irritate his feet. Disappointing for a $70 shoe. I won't be ordering them again, they look great.
