I've worn ASICs for years now.  Whether the shoes are running shoes, cross-training or casual sneakers, they always fit.  Not all shoe manufacturers use such consistent lasts for their shoes, but I'm quite confident in the fit of ASICs.  This is a solid shoe for hard walking or running.  It's neutral (the wrong shoe if you over-pronate) with good lateral stiffness. Even though it's cushioned, I find that it's still helped by a good insole.  If past experience is a guide, it should give a good year of hard use.
