I have always been a fan of Asics shoes, from when I use to run, I found these shoes not only 1/2 size smaller, I wear a 9 but had to get a 9 1/2, but no give across the upper top of the feet, very tight feeling.  I decided to wear the shoes and give them the benefit of the doubt they would loosen up, but was unable to wear them the full day, so slowly I increased the time each day, but they felt as if they were becoming more uncomfortable, the bottoms started pulling apart and the other side came off completely.

I have told people over the years, that Asisc was the shoe to buy, which I had several friends and other fellow co-workers buy over the years.

I am searching for another pair of shoes, Asisc has always been my shoe, but I am disappointed that Asisc has allowed this line to be cheaply made, now I don't know if I want to take a chance on another pair, especially when the cost is too high for a very low grade shoe.
