I want to thank the reviewer here who pointed out that these Asics were NOT sized too large, as are New Balance and some other brands. That saved me from ordering 12s, which I likely would have had to return. So I went down a half size to 11.5, and they fit perfectly. I'm actually a size 11. I like to think I'm immune to fashion trends, but the colored running shoe craze sucked me in. So I have NBs in red, and sky blue, but wanted purple, which NB doesn't carry. I've had Asics before, and were happy with them. These are comfortable, look good, and if my former experience with Asics holds, will be durable. I could do without the orange accents, but that's a minor quibble.
