I use these mainly for cross training at the gym and they are extremely comfortable. They do have an aggressive tread, but that's expected because they are meant for trail running. I love these shoes so much and always get complimented on them. Definitely one of my favorite pairs of Asics so far!

Very comfy and grippy. Done a bit of trail running in them and very happy so far.

I love the look of these shoes -- so snazzy! I've had so many compliments on them & even my 22-year-old grandson thinks they are cool! They are well-cushioned & comfy & run true to size. The laces are just the right length (not too long like many athletic shoes) & they stay tied.

Really cute but a little tight across the widest part of my foot. The Gel Intensity 2 worked better for me. To be fair my foot is more a C width than a B. Loved the styling! Wish it came a little wider.
