These are extremely comfortable though I haven't worn them outside. Lots of arch support, A+. Nice non slippy soles which is what I wanted, but I think the toes are a bit wide and clunky so they will probably be going back. No way to tuck jeans in very well. I bought 38 and I wear a 7-7.5 in sandals, these fit fine. (I live in a warm climate and haven't bought boots in ages so I was very unsure what size to get.)

I usually love love love El Naturalista Shoes, but these didn't do it for me. I couldn't feel the arch support I was used to, and they were hard to get on and off. I was a little concerned about how long the fabric part of the boot would last as well.

Does not work with orthotics. This is a nice shoe, but be warned that it doesn't really work with orthotics. The first problem is that the insole is glued in, and it's extremely difficult to tear out. So if you intend on replacing the insoles with your own insoles or orthotics, think about getting a different shoe. Even if you manage to get the insole out (which I did, after much difficulty) it still doesn't work with orthotics because orthotics tend to lift your foot higher than regular insoles, and there isn't enough room in this shoe for that.

This is my first pair of Serrano's by Asics. I own several pairs of the Ultimate 81's and a pair of Mexico 66's by Asics, and the Serrano is my favorite of all Asics' low profile shoes. The Serrano has a cushy sole, super light weight, and flexibility unmatched. Another thing I love about the Serrano is that it's the one shoe style by Asics that doesn't make my feet feel too hot. The mesh on the sides and top is breathable and airy. All I hope for are more colors. Please don't discontinue this Asics model! I love the yellow/black and the charcoal gray. Looking into buying black/white/yellow also.

I have several pairs of Tigers (Ultimate 81, Mexico 66, etc), but I think the Serrano is my favorite. It's definitely the most comfortable. Very lightweight, comfortable shoe! I got the navy Serranos yesterday, took them out of the box this morning and wore them all day. They feel great! Like most of the other Asics Tigers, the Serrano runs a half size small, at least in woman's sizes.

If a person likes a low profile shoe and likes the Asics shoe brand, then this shoe will rock for you. I currently own 4 different types of Asics and this one is now my favorite. Quality construction and almost barefoot feel. My only concern would be to get one's shoe size to fit accurately. I am normally a size 10 but these style of shoe run one size big, so I wear a size 9 here.

Initially, I was pleased with these shoes: they look good and they have a bit of cushion. Yet they did not hold up to walking around London for a week - my feet hurt enough to buy insoles at the nearest drugstore. So I wouldn't recommend them if you actually walk more then a mile per day. 1 year after buying them, they haven't held up very well. The leather toe cap has started peeling away, with loose threads on the front of both shoes. Since these are mostly mesh and suede, it's difficult to get them looking new again. I don't like to write a negative review. They look great when you first get them, but they're just not made to last.

Very lightweight and comfortable. The sole is a tad too thick to be a true minimalist running shoe, but it makes a fantastic casual shoe.

This is the closest shoe to the Tiger Light Trainer I wore high jumping in the 1970s. They are a good training shoe, the closest to the N--- Zoom III spikes that I now jump in. When I'm indoors on the b-ball court and I really can't use the spikes these are what I wear for hj training. Great traction. Great fit for my foot. Love the style.

These are very light, and comfortable shoes. My foot fits in very well. It has a cushioned sole and the bottom have little spikes for more traction when walking. I have had them for a few days and they are probably the best shoe I have ever owned.

I just put these on, and they feel fabulous. They are so light, and yet supportive. I am not sure that I will be able to wear socks with them, because they fit like a glove (yes, on my feet!). But I am very very pleased right out of the box.
