Great running shoes! Great, supportive fit! Great neutral to pronate stance support. However, the shoes do run 1/2 size smaller than the norm and as a result, the 11s that I normally order were too small. But, the 11.5s fit perfectly. Also, know that the shoes run quite NARROW. This is not a problem for me as I have narrow feet. But people who are normal to wide widths will definitely have an issue. Apart from all of the fit idiosyncrasies of these shoes, they feel great and I love wearing them. As you can see in the picture, I have replaced the laces with Lock Laces; elastic laces that increase and enhance a shoe's comfort and also decrease injuries. All of my athletic footwear has them. I would never wear a pair of athletic shoes without Lock Laces, I love them so much. I highly recommend the Asics, just order a half-size larger.

This is about the 5th pair of Aasics gel running shoes I have purchased. The last 3 through Amazon. I was troubled with plantar faciaitis many years ago. If I wear these shoes once a week, I never have that awful pain. I live in a small town in western New Mexico where my sizes for almost any article of clothing are so common that it is almost impossible to find my size in anything. I appreciate being able to buy what I need om
Amazon and know that it is going to fit. Thanks!

I had a previous pair of wide Asics that I paid $130 for at a running store, so when I saw this shoe here at this price, I was excited but also skeptical. However, these shoes fit great and are so very comfortable. The fitment is a true size 13, they fit like a glove. Good support throughout. Will buy it again!
