User Reviews
I know other reviewers said that the shoe is tight, it is slightly but depending on when and where you will be wearing the shoe. If you are a runner the shoe may be a little tight, but I bought them for walking or standing on my feet for several hours. So for me, they are just right. Of course there is the initial tightness that you get with any new shoe, but after wearing them a couple of times they feel great.
These shoes are so light, and so comfortable that I swear I can hear my feet go "WEEEEEEEEEEEE" when I'm running, while my legs are happy in believing we are actually running so fast, we are practically flying. (full disclosure; we are not)Plus; they are so pretty!
I am average built female over age 50. I usually wear size 7.5 athletic shoe. The site recommended size 8 so I ordered that size. I could not even get the shoe on even though the size was larger than I usually wear. The shoe was oddly not deep enough. I have never experienced this issue before. Luckily the refund process easy and timely.
Love the bright pink color. Toe box was fine & didn't/doesn't squish my toes at all as some reviewers noted. Super comfy. This was actually my 2nd pair of the same shoe ordered within a month of each other. I know they we will discontinue them (if they haven'talready), so I wanted to have a back up pair.
I luv the fuzex comfort and fit. They are normally a perfect fit. This type of fuzex is more narrow than expected. The shoe is well made and nice looking but if you have a wide foot then consider another option
Cute shoe and I get lots of compliments. The mesh was less giving than expected and there was a tight seam at my forefoot. I also had to put in arch support. Tongue has no padding. Recommend as a casual shoe and not a serious athletic goto.
I love Asics. As a runner, this is my go to shoe. I have a flat foot and these dont bother me. I also sometimes need a wider shoe with shoes too snug but this fit just fine.
I am a true Asics shoe wearer. I work on my feet and these are the only sneakers that do not have my feet hurting at the end of the day. I almost did not order these because all the other reviews said that they ran small and I did not feel like returning for a larger size. I really wanted this pair and I finally ordered them in my usual size 8. They fit perfectly! I think because the fabric is on the thin side for an Asics sneaker (they are a summer weight fabric) that they might feel smaller, but I've had no size issues with these at all. I love them and may order them in the other color!
