These trainers fit perfectly, are great quality and are really comfortable to wear all day. I'd recommend them to everyone.

Great looking shoe, great price. On the bigger side of fitting compared to my normal asics running shoes.

Really cool. Shoes. It's the second pair I have. I would recommend them.

These look nice but they were too narrow to me. The returning process was extremely positive. It’s free and quick.
Super light but stylish -my fourth pair! Cannot paise these trainers enough. Please keep making them…How about a Japan Hi top???
These shoes look amazing and are very comfortable, but quite an issue with them is that they easily start smelling. I also spoke others with the same shoes and they experienced the same issue.
The trainer looks distinctive and smart. Leather upper will make the trainer comfortable to wear and having half sizes is especially good for me. Good price and well known name.
Bought these as a second gift for my husband as more of a stylish trainer he could wear going out on holidays as I'd already bought him the Gel Pulse 14 as his everyday pair. The Japan's give him that unique ASICS comfort and fit that he loves along with a sleek and stylish look that he wanted. Again he didn't have to break them in as they were the perfect size and fit as always with ASICS. He has the most awkward feet when it comes to buying shoes and ASICS is always his go to for trainers as they never let him down.
Trainers arrived as described. Sizes seem to run slightly small so ordering half a size up is a good idea. Haven't worn them much yet so can't comment on comfort but they seem fine so far.
Good solid shoes, design is top class, build quality looks great- especially the bottom sole, so hopefully can last for a long time, but that is it's own downside. The shoes feel a bit heavier (around 400 gms vs ideal weight of 325 gms) and they could increase the width of the shoes at the toes by a little bit so the shoes can evolve into barefoot style in the future.
