I picked these up on sale on Amazon.com without ever having seen them In person. They are much prettier in person (the silver is kind of flashy and the blue is very bright). They are very comfortable and the D width fits my wide feet well. They are not overly large but still big enough to grant a little extra room. Asic's wide width so far seems to be a little more snug than Nike's. This is the first pair of gel shoes I have owned and they are truly very very comfortable. I have picky feet and am surprised how much stress these seem to relieve. My only complaint is that they are not well vented, but it was to be expected as the material is all leather. They might not be good for someone with sweaty feet. however, they are well made and very comfortable. Definitely a recommended!
