This is my third pair of Asics. Still wearing the other two from 2 to 3 yrs back. They have gotten dirty on the outside from wearing in every kind of situation i.e. cutting the grass, working on the car etc... Thing is neither pair have ever started smelling bad. They smell as good as the day I bought them.

Just received my new ones today and they fit like a glove when I slid my feet into them. The silver/gray with yellow trim makes them the sharpest looking shoe of the three pairs. I noticed these were made in Vietnam as my other two pair were made in China. They have the same quality, feel and good looks -maybe more so - as my others did when I first got them. I'll be wearing these for the more social outings. Luv my Asics.
