I have wide feet. Never purchased ASICS before. I'm pleasantly surprised by the fit and finish of the shoe. It is truly lighter than the athletic shoes I have now (NB). I use them exclusively in the small gym at work. Elliptical, weight lifting. They provide a good stable platform which is what I was looking for.
I would recommend this shoe for people with wide feet (4E).
Also in shoe stores, ALL OF THEM, never have my size. I'm done with that. Viva La Amazon. Long Live Amazon.
