I usually wear the 2100 series by Asics but decided to give these a try. I purchased through Zappos the 3020 (previous version). These shoes do tend to run smaller than the 2100 series and like the other reviewers, after 10 miles or so I too started getting blisters. Asics shoes have never given me blisters. I finally found one that breaks that rule. It's a nice shoe, but for short distances. I'm going back to the 2100 series.

I run about 3 miles/day 5 to 6 days a week. These shoes have so much support, but it is a little too much! I have very flat feet and used my own orthodics. After the first use I developed a good size blister on the bottom of my foot where the arch of the foot is. I thought the more I wore the shoe the less it would rub, but I had to keep buying band aids to keep the shoe from rubbing. It became very uncomfortable and very expensive after all of the band aids I kept buying after buying a new pair of shoes! I also found the box of the shoe to be very uncomfortable. As replacements, I bought the Asics Gel-Kayano 17 and I love them! They are so comfortable!

I absolutely love this shoe! I am a late-stage pronator in one foot and this shoe addresses that problem perfectly. However, one word of warning - this shoe runs on the small side. I did not notice this until I increased my mileage to 10+ miles. Once I hit the double digits I started experiencing black toenails and blisters so had to move into this shoe a full size larger than street shoe size (from 1/2 size larger).

I'm new to running - I do about 15-20miles/week, and seldom exceed 5 miles per run. These shoes have been amazing for me! Feels like I'm running on clouds! Super cushion-y, very good support, and lightweight. I tried these on in person at the store. I usually get 8.5 in running shoes, but got an 8 in these.

It's a nice watch. Very comfortable, lightweight, and just has a nice, clean look to it. I've had it for about 2-3 weeks now and so far it hasn't been a dirt magnet and has actually been pretty easy to keep clean.

It's a really nice watch, but the wristband is fragile and the holes will break with use. I am not sure if it can be changed, but having to look into this after only four months since I got the watch is a bit frustrating.
