Been needing a good pair of running shoes for quite some time now, however in this economy could not afford to spend a large amount of dollars. The first pair I ordered were 1/2 size too small, was able to return the shoes no questions asked and no additional shipping on my part. The second pair of shoes arrived on my door step very quickly and boy did I just love the way they responded on my running course. They are very light but yet the support around my ankles and heels are second to none. Thank you ASICS. Would highly recommend this shoe to any class runner.
