These shoes are top notch. Both in looks and function. They are very comfortable and extremely light and breathable, offer excellent support for athletic activities, and they also look great (in my opinion, FWIW :) I have worn just about every brand of running shoes, for sports only, not casual wear, and my next pair will definitely be from Asics again. I am very satisfied with their quality and design. Thanks, Asics, I will be back for more.
