Naturally, shoe fitting is a highly personal thing.  We all have different foot shapes.  I find New Balance shoes fit me the best.  My wife is an Asics fan.  Generally, she's been spending over $100 for the model she liked best previously.  She decided to give this one a try, at less than half the price, and she says it is superior to the $100+ model.  Very comfortable, seems to be constructed better too.  Very solid body (she has had a problem with Asics in the past because on some models her toe goes through).  But she feels this is a much more solid shoe.
