This is my second time purchasing Asics for running, and Ive never used any other shoes since then. They are lightweight on my feet, yet sturdy for my knees. I ordered a size 8 because I like room on my toe area, and they still fit perfect! They are not too big nor to small. I highly recommend these shoes, if you're looking for something comfortable and fashionable. I even use them for weight training. Best purchase I could have done.
