Fantastic shoe!September 7, 2008 This is the second time that I've purchased this shoe. It's one of the best that Asics has to offer. I received the shoes fast with no problems.
Perfect running shoe for me!August 8, 2008 I was looking for this very type of shoes that I had previously been fitted for at a running store. I was able to find the pair pretty easily via name and number and make sure with the very accurate photographs. I then compared prices. I got a great bargain and ended up ordering two pair. Amazon rocks!
This pair of shoe works exceptionally well for a first-time marathon trainee (I will run Chicago in October 2008). I am also a fuller figured woman who needs extra shoe stability and this shoe has fit the bill. I highly recommend this shoe but also believe that all new runners need to be professionally fitted before starting an running program. Get fitted at a running store like Fleet Feet but then get your replacement/second pair of shoes at Amazon. Runners need new shoes every 175-300 miles (that's a lot)!

The shoes came very quickly and packed very appropriately, but there is a defect in my right shoe and it gives me terrible blisters. I don't feel I can return them because I've already run outside in them - don't ever buy running shoes online!!
Great shoes for beginnersApril 5, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
These shoes are awesome!!! They're extremely comfortable and they do a lot to prevent you from running improperly. I used to get bad shin splints with my old shoes but these are great! No problems - lightweight, super supportive, VERY comfortable. I ran my first road race in them during a rain storm and they managed to still be comfortable and dried very shortly after the rain stopped. Best value for the best price
Great SneakerFebruary 19, 2008 Soft insides for the Gel. It has great support plus the style and colors are great.
