***UPDATE****
Absolute worst shoe I have ever owned. This shoe had caused extreme foot pain, I simply can't wear it even just walking during the day. My arches are on fire after wearing these just walking on the treadmill and have gotten progressively worse to the point that they hurt even after I remove them and I think I need to rest and see if they heal, as something is definitely wrong with my feet now. I am wondering if because I had to order 2 sizes larger to even get the shoe on, if the arch support is hitting in the wrong place or something. Whatever is is, I am in pain now and furious for having paid over $100 for shoes that damaged my feet.
Asics, what have you done to your shoes????  After 20 plus years of wearing a size 7 or 7.5 at the most in Asics, I got a pair before these in a 7.5 that felt like a size 6.5. I sent them back and got these in an 8... and STILL they barely fit in both width and length.  They do not have the same shock absorption I am used to in an Asics, and feel less cushiony than a much cheaper pair of walking shoes from Asics, (which fit fine in a size 7). These are the only pair of Asics I have ever owned that I have been unhappy with, and I am very unhappy with these.  They are too narrow, too short even a full 2 sizes up from my normal Asics shoe size. I had to loosen the laces because my feet kept going numb, and by the time they were loose enough to allow blood circulation, there was barely enough lace left to tie and it messed with the ankle support, which is why I bought them in the first place. My shins get sore and tired even just walking in these shoes, but I feel great all day in my six year old Asics that barely have any bounce left and I wear mostly as junk/gardening/yard shoes.  I don't know who designed these, but they are almost trash as far as utility. They are a nice quality as far as construction, just tragically overpriced for the comfort and support you get. The sizing issue is ridiculous. Fire whoever is designing these shoes now, if I get another pair like this that is this bad I will have to find another brand, this is just not the quality I have come to expect from Asics.

Foot details: My foot is more of a wide foot than narrow, but I have never had to buy wide width shoes, I would say they are pretty average width wise and kind of short toes.
