    "I have been a Nike fan for over 20 years. Well, I went to FF and had my current Nike on one foot and tried several other brands on my other foot to compare them. This Asics shoe was fabulous! I couldn't believe I finally found a strong match for my fussy feet! This shoe truly came out the winner! It was just as comfortable but offered a way better fit! I bought it, and took it out for my first walk this morning. It was great, no breaking in, it was fabulous and fit perfectly. I had no problem and will buy this shoe again! And, it is very stylish also! Love it!"
    Pros: Lightweight, Good traction, Cushioning, Shock absorbing, Breathable
    Yes, I recommend this product.

    "I am a loyal Asics user. These are my favorite style. Like any good running shoe, I replaced the stock insole with a performance gel insole. Insoles that come with shoes are just there for fitting purposes. To actually run with them would cause pain in even the best running shoe. These shoes are light, breathable, and have cushioning in all the right places. I especially like the Duomax arch support, as I am a major pronator. I have a second pair that I use at work (I'm a night shift nurse), and they are the only thing that keep my feet from hurting at the end of 12 hours. But don't forget to buy a good pair of insoles!!"

    "I was so excited for these sneakers to arrive. When I put them on for the first time, they felt great. It wasn't until I started my exercise routine did I notice the lack of comfort. I usually walk/run around 3 miles per day. Within the first 15 minutes, the bottom of my feet started to burn. I felt this sensation for the rest of my work it. It was unbearable!!! I never experienced anything like this before. My overall rating is less the poor because I was so uncomfortable and my feet were killing. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone."
    No, I do not recommend this product.

    "It's a supportive shoe and the colors are nice, but a hole wore into the toe area after just a few months. For the price, they should've lasted longer. They're fairly comfortable and very breathable; just not very durable. The outer mesh seems to be too weak to keep holes from forming."

    Cons: poor design
    No, I do not recommend this product.
