These are the first pair of Asics that I have purchased since I stopped running 5 years ago, but, I still go on the elliptical and take my dog for long walks and I thought I deserved the best.  The only reason I am not giving a 5star review, is that they are a bit tight on my instep.  If I remember correctly that will change as they get broken in, but were uncomfortable the first 2X I wore them....  I love the color and the quality of Asics and when I walk in them I have a definite bounce in my step.
