I bought these in a 13 for my teenage son, who runs both cross country and track. He tried a pair of Nike and they hurt his feet. Asics have always been comfortable for him, so I took a chance and ordered them online. He has loved them since they arrived. They look nice and feel great. I hope that he continues to feel this way about them, got to have good shoes to run all the time. I read the other reviews and decided this could be the right shoe and so far he is happy as a clam.
