I had to give these a try, the reviews for any Asics GEL shoe is always a good one.  I am on my feet a minimum of ten hours a day and have issues due to arthritis that developed in one of my ankles.  It developed after a bad break over thirty years ago and it leaves me never knowing what shoe will be comfortable, they all fit nicely but the angle of my foot has to be just right for all day comfort. So, the problem is really on my end, not the shoes or the manufacturers.  They are lightweight, well made, and breathable in the summer heat. I wouldn't want to be wearing them in the winter, but that is not their intended use anyhow. I'll never know if they last a long time, I suppose mine will because I can't wear them. Anybody need a pair of shoes?
