I love Asics, but they have really changed the fit of their shoes (and NOT in a good way). I've always enjoyed how they have a wider toe bed and just feel comfortable. Based on other reviews, I ordered this pair in a whole size up from my normal shoe size (and a half size up from my normal Asics size). They were still about a half size too small, and everything felt tight and odd! It's as though the height of the toe bed has shrunk as well. I found that the Asics GT 2000 - 6 fit very well in my normal Asics size and recommend that you try that model if you're having similar issues.
