Was surprised by this shoe. In all my years of ordering size 9's from Asics, this one is actually a bit on the small side for me. Considering I had the earlier model of this style, and they were huge and bulky, the TR 260's have lost some serious weight! But with any weight loss, this is good. It sure looks good on my feet, I have the blue/silver color, and it feels really lightweight too. The only slightly too small part is width-wise, my big toe's scraping the top of the shoe. Good thing there's mesh at the toe part, it has a lot of give to it, so I expect this to stretch out with further use. If you took that little irritating bit out, the fit is the usual almost glove-like one I expect from them.

Ok so I loved the shoe already fit and looks-wise, how is it cushion-wise? Here's the part where I didn't love it that much. Overall cushioning felt fine at the start. But then, there's this part at the forefoot where you feel the plastic "support" across it. If you didn't do too much high impact excercises, your ok. But start jumping, you'll really begin to feel this at your forefoot, my left toe started to go numb at one point. Not good I was thinking. Then I used it just yesterday for a marathon session of Jukari and Zumba, and boy my forefeet were aching after. Was really let down at this point, I expected much more from these shoes, my older Antares model did an even better job cushioning. The upside, and here's where the shoe really shines, the 260's stability is great! When your balancing on a Core Board, this shoe rocks!

So after my initial dissapointment, I remembered I had these ProFoot Miracle Insoles and swapped out the original for them. Just came back from another Zumba class this evening and boy, those insoles just did the trick! Now they're as cushioned all over as I want. The true test will be a Body Combat class this Friday. Hope this works for that as well and these shoes will be redeemed. Who knows, maybe even another star added. Updates to follow.

Update:

Well this updated review just went up a star! This is my go to shoe for any high impact class. The Miracle Insoles have molded to my foot and now the shoe is as cushioned as I need it. And this still performs just as well for a Zumba class. I also ordered an Ipera and I find this shoe still has much more stability. Sorry to read the above negative reviews about this shoe. If you have any cushioning issues, just please swap out the insoles and you'll have a great all rounder of a shoe.

Updated again on July 12,2013:

I just had to add to my review seeing that they still offer this color/style here on Amazon. Almost 2 years later, and I've also had the successor of this style, the Gel-Envigor, and I still find myself reaching for this shoe to work out in. Specially where the Envigor's sole seems to give me a problem where arch support is concerned. Though it's still a comfy shoe, but I can't use it for 2 hours of high intensity classes like with my 260's. So I'm kind of sad to see, for now, old-school style trainers like these go out of fashion and being replaced by the minimalist ones. Mine are still going strong in my shoe rotation, so get them while you still can cos they are the last of a great line of shoes.
