I ordered 3 pair of Asics not knowing which would be most comfortable. Knowing how wonderful Zappos is I figured I would return those I didn't like. Turns out all 3 pair were a perfect fit, so I kept all 3. The colors are perfect and and close to what is shown in the pictures. But it's the fit that is so great. I have a wide foot, but wide shoes are too wide. Mediums are too narrow. These sneakers have a wide toe box which makes them fit me like a glove. There is no break-in period. They fit great right out of the box.

I received my Asics Gel from Zappos in a few days after ordering them. This is the only brand of shoes of this kind that gives me the exact kind of support needed for me. I can wear them all day without any discomfort. My next pair will also be Asics, ordered through Zappos.

I have had the last three iterations of these shoes. I determined that they were the best fit for my feet on the Asics website and have been buying them ever since. I have had surgery on both feet and these are the only shoes I have had since that have not hurt my feet. I run/walk in them for at least an hour every day with no pain. As long as they keep making these, I will keep wearing them.

Incredibly comfortable, great arch and lateral support...I wear them every time that I wear purple, which is almost every day!

Very comfortable fit. I have bunions and found the shoe was not tight at the top of the foot. I would definitely buy this shoe again.

These are amazingly comfortable straight out of the box. Wide enough toe box to be comfortable without being to wide through the arch and heel. Asics are my go to sneaker, but have to find the perfect ones each time I re-purchase. The lowest priced ones are often just not right, but have never needed to go with the most expensive either. Zappos makes it super easy to find the right pair.

I've been wearing Asics for a few years now. I even have the Gel Pulse 3 from last year and this shoe is more narrow than its older counterpart. I actually measured the sole of the shoe to confirm that it was in fact more narrow, specifically in the toe box.

These are very cute, but very short! My ideal size is an 11½N, so I look for 12s that run small or 11s that run large and hope that they are not too wide. Very few shoes come in my actual size. I was excited to see reviews that said these shoes run a little small, but they were way small! I also got the GEL-Pulse 3 and the GEL Scram in the same order. These shoes looked the best in my opinion, but they felt a full size smaller that the other two Asics. I am so sad that I have to return the nicest pair - and that there is no "next size" for me.

I do not advise getting Asics running shoes. I was a loyal Asics wearer until I noticed that each pair, after a month of running about 20 miles a week, got a hole in the mesh of the toe. When I called to ask them to use stronger fabric, the representative actually told me that peoples' toenails rub against that part of the shoe, creating friction that causes a hole. I said that it sounded like it was my fault the shoes developed holes so quickly, that if only I did not have toenails the shoes would be fine. He said, "no, it is not your fault, and this is not you, but some other people, I just cannot believe how long their toenails are." I assured him my feet were beautifully pedicured but he continued to sputter that some people have really long toenails that wear holes in the toe of the shoe really quickly. Obviously, in addition to using better fabric for their shoes, Asics needs to retrain their customer service representatives!
