User Reviews
Perfect and looks fabulous. Love this shoe. Comfortable and very affordable a must buy. I own several pairs of asics and they always hold up and look and feel great. Very true to size.
I'm am Asics Kayano fan and a general fan of Asics as they are my favorite running shoe. The Torrance shoes are a more neutral type running shoe. There's a lot of room in the toe box. I always purchase running shoes a half size larger and these shoes fit just perfect. They are very comfortable. After one run, so far so good. They will also make a nice pair of shoes as a casual night out.
Very ery lightweight, good but not great cushioning. Good snug fit for my wide size 13 foot. Looks pretty nice. Excellent shoe for the price. Would buy again.
Have had these for two weeks, got them before a trip to Europe where I knew I'd be walking a ton. Not once did my feet ache like they do after long days in other running shoes. And they look great. The Dark Green is a good accent but goes with almost everything. Perfect shoe and will likely buy more pairs for the future.
Got these for our son, we didn't know what to expect since we usually don't order shoes online, but they fit him good and he said are real comfortable. using for school... front top material is real thin, but I guess good for the air, just wore them first time today so hoping they will last. Good price and shipped fast. Thank you :-)
The shoe is okay. It is light. I don't think it has particularly appealing look, but since I use them in the dark I don't care a whole lot on that point. I suspect color adds to the price. The shoestrings are cheap; I pulled them out and used the higher quality shoestrings of my previous pair (a higher quality Asics running shoe). Seems like a higher quality shoestring could have been used for the price one pays even for this lower end running shoe. I suspect these shoes will wear out quickly, but we will see. If they surprise me, I will update this review. I will need to use inserts since the inside of the shoe is not comfortable, especially for a vigorous 3 mile walk. Haven't had a chance to purchase them yet.I purchased a size 1/2 higher than my normal shoe size, which is typical for running shoes. They fit without issue. I think even with the inserts they will be okay. No sloshing around at all.I give them three stars because three stars = "It's Okay." It's the price of the shoe I would normally order that forced me to try a cheap pair of shoes. Hopefully I will get a year out of them!
Bought these January 4, 2021 and I’ve run 2.5 every single day since then (rain or shine) and it’s May 5, 2021 now. Puts me at about 370+ miles in these shoes and I noticed around 320-350 miles that the pad is too worn in; especially in the heel. Very decent product overall but not for serious runners going for the distance. Great for everyday walking and jogging.
Wrong size came but they were auch a great deal i didnt want to return. They fit my kid perfectly. He loves them, always telling me how comfortable theu are.Best buy ive got . .
