I normally like Asics but not this pair. The sneakers have these cheesy insoles. When I say cheesy I mean like $2 insoles one would expect from a $30 pair of sneakers, not sneakers selling for over $100--stop being so cheap Asics and put some real insoles in your sneakers like Brooks and New Balance do in their high-end sneakers.

Chances are you will have to change the insoles as a result, but the problem you will find is that the toe box is quite small compared to Brooks or New Balance. As a result, you will have trouble fitting in other insoles, which of course many people do with motion-control sneakers.

Also, Asics uses this cheesy hard plastic to make the middle of the sneaker firm. It is uncomfortable and just shows how they cut corners to avoid using better materials like a full rubber sole. In short, there are many better options for running shoes, or motion-control sneakers, in this price range, and it is unfortunate that Asics is too cheap to put in better materials into expensive sneakers like these!
