Buying shoes without trying them on - Error

When will I know? I have bought many pairs from Asics in the past. All the same size but all the same model. This time I tried a new model (Excite 6) and the results were not very good. These shoes are very short(?) on top and cause constant uncomfortable pressure no matter how loosely laced they are. Hope they stretch a little. I don't remember the return policy but I'll take the $50 lesson I learned for now.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Unreliable

Recommended by my podiatrist

After seeing my podiatrist about my plantar fasciitis, he recommended this type of shoe.

Decent but not great running shoes

I've been running for 12-13 years and mostly run exclusively at New Balance and Asics. I recently went back to Asics and have several pairs.

Less support in the toe box and a slight missize means the forefoot of the shoe sometimes curls onto the toe, which

  • Very good value for money

  • Functionality

Great shoes with great support

I've had them for a little over 2 months so can't comment on wear or durability but so far I'm very happy with them. I had never ordered athletic shoes online before so I was concerned about sizing. I'm my usual 10.5 (although I'm 11 sometimes) and they fit too tight. But I decided to keep this size and I'm satisfied that it's tight. They provide great support for my daily walks (2-4 miles per day at a brisk pace) which I needed when my feet started to hurt from the extra walking since workingโ€ฆ
