I have been wearing New Balance for years. I was very disappointed with New Balance Women's WX1210, and I decided to try  new brand. I decided to try Asics. ASICS Women's GEL-Upshot Training Shoe is worse than new balance.. I wasted $85 dollars. The shoes are hard and narrow. Asics are the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. If I had not thrown the box away, I would have returned them. They are terrible. Save your money! I am going back to new balance. :(
