I'm a big fan of Asics running shoes. I needed a new pair of white sneakers and these were a bit cheaper than the ones I had my eyes on. Since they look basically the same, I decided to give it a go. The Asics quality shines through. These are the comfiest sneakers I own now. The ortholite innersole provides cushioning for all day walking. The toe bend is on the perfect place. They're easy to clean and they are the best fitting pair of sneakers I have.

What do you need to understand in order to correctly evaluate this product?:- these shoes are synthetic leather;- the stitching along the sole is not real;- these are inexpensive shoes.Despite these facts, this is one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have ever owned. They are impeccably made. There are small traces of glue, but it's not significant. The sneakers don't squeeze, don't chafe my feet, my feet don't sweat, the fit is perfect.

Old school cool, exactly what they are and were back in the 80s these are comfortable enough to wear all day even if your standing most of the time. They good for walking on sealed surfaces too. I like these, ok they are not real leather but it’s actually quite hard to notice, no sweaty feet associated with pleather shoes
I’m very happy with these shoes. Very comfortable, very stylish. I have skinny feet and these have a little more room in the toe box, but not enough to be an issue. I lace these a little looser so I can slip in and out of them. It’s a chilly spring in Chicago, so I’ve been wearing these with joggers.
It has a hard, stiff sole. Needs more flex and a little cushion. There are a lot of shoes on the market that look basically the same. I expected Asics to be the most comfortable, but they're not by a long shot. They're also quite warm, which is nice in a cold climate, but not in the summer or if your feet run hot.
It's everything you'd expect from Asics. Well built, comfortable, looks great. The color contrast between the white and beige is a bit more noticeable in person than it looks online.My only issue with the shoe is that it runs small and narrow. The narrowness may simply be because I haven't broken in the leather yet, but the length surprised me. I usually wear size 11 shoes and decided to size up to 11.5 to give myself some extra wiggle room. Even then, in some positions my toes still touch the end of the shoe. Again, this might become less of an issue as the padding in the heel compresses to my feet, but definitely size up on these, at least on the higher end of the sizing scale.
Purchased these ASICS to wear with jeans and joggers. They’re really well made and comfortable for the price. Classic styling and true to size.
