Let me say up front that I am not a runner.  I mainly use these on the ellipse machine at the gym, and I was attracted to them because of their look.  But, I did some research on them online, and they had good feedback.  My foot tends to run a little wide, but not wide enough for the wide size.  This makes certain brands a problem and I had never bought ASICS.  I decided to order them and I've been very happy with them.  They give good support and are comfortable.
