Gel-Ventures 6 and earlier have always been my go-to choice for everyday and casual runs. But with the Model 8, ASICS has been replaced with flat, cheap, slippery laces that don't stay tied, and when double-knotted, they're a project of their own, just for take-off. If you buy these, plan on buying a second pair of laces, which ASICS used to make.

The rest of the reviews were correct. Normal shoe size is too small. Listen to other reviews and order 1/2 size larger. Backordered and I hope you figured it out. Stay tuned and I'll let you know how things work! UPDATE: The new size fits well. The little toes are a bit tense, but everything is fine there. My only problem is that the shoes hurt my heels. I walk about 4-6 miles a day for work. I hope my feet get used to it, otherwise I'll have to buy insoles.

Always wore a size 13, had to order a size 14 these days and these shoes are too short or too small, size 14.5 out of stock, return for a refund
