Yes, a good fit and feels good on my feet. I was expecting a bit more of an arch support, but there are many shoes to choose from with good arch support on the website. I am satisfied and happy with my shoes. Plus, I got a $10 off gift as a birthday present.

I bought these ASICS several weeks ago as I decided I needed a change in my tennis shoes. My current ones were rubbing the side of my foot and in a bad way. This is the first time I’ve ever bought a wide width as I have a very narrow heel but the fit is awesome and I’m so glad I bought this width. It’s no problem with the shoestrings fitting them to my narrow heel

Bought these shoes because I have plantar fasciitis and needed something that was comfortable but still supportive. I tried on what seemed like every brand of shoe and I kept going back to all of the asics. They seemed to be cushioned and hit my arch right where it's needed. Overall great shoe and will be buying more next week. I feel like i want to walk in these shoes instead of thinking with my previous brands which shoe would I wear that won't hurt my feet too badly.

Comfortable shoes. First time having the D fit. It made a difference. Good support for the heel and breathable. Foot do not feel hot anymore. All good and price was affordable.
This shoe is perfect for my low impact lifestyle class. It has just the right amount of stability and support. The fit is perfect. I also enjoy that they are stylish while being a perfect workout shoe. Also love the little pop of color on the back and lace area
I ordered these as my office work shoes since I do a lot of walking during my commute. They’re super comfy, go with almost all my outfits and are lightweight. I love them and wear them everyday. I’ve even thrown them in the wash and they came out like brand new. (All white pair)
I bought this shoe in July, 2024 and didn’t wear it until September, 2024. Right away the back of the right heel started rubbing my skin to wear ultimately I have a cut behind my right ankle. This is after a short 15 minute walk with my dog. Usually ASICS are my go to shoe for comfort, but this one didn’t meet the quality expectations I have for ASICS.
When I tried them on at the store I wasn't sure they would be that great but they were the color I wanted. So I tried them on at home the next day and wore them and they turned out to be so comfortable that I wore them all day! They are light weight and I hardly know I am wearing them.
Perfect sizing. At first my big toe was a bit sore, after a couple weeks, these are perfectly formed to my feet. Good arch support! Super comfy soles. Will definitely buy again. And again.
I've always had problems buying tennis shoes, because they always squeeze me and are very uncomfortable and that's why I didn't like them. BUT THESE TENNIS HAVE BEEN THE BEST. I bought them and I didn't know I would like them so much. They are very comfortable, they don't squeeze me, and you feel like you're eating on the clouds.
