I've been buying Asics since at least 2001 because of two things - the under-ankle arch is low and the shoes are comfortable.

I bought these to replace my most recent Asics which I've had since 2009.  I don't wear them every day but the tread is practically gone so figured it was time to replace them.  These shoes are awful because:
1) The ankle arch it too high, or rather it is normal high.  My ankles are slightly lower than normal so when I find a shoe that fits correctly I stick with it.  Even with gel inserts in the back of the shoe they still rubbed the underside of my ankle.
2) The shoe itself was not very comfortable.  My feet hurt after only an hour of wearing them and I found the old shoes to be bouncier.  I also ended up with a blister on my foot after wearing them for one day.

On the plus side, the shoes did feel lighter by comparison and the design is standard so it's not ugly.  If anyone wants a barely used pair of 7.5's let me know.
