i love Asics. i appreciate the cushion in this shoe. fits half size small. read other reviews and ordered a half size larger than i wear, it was perfect. i LOVE the colors, but even more the fit and feel. i ran a 5k, felt great right out of the box. wore for a cardio class, probably not really meant for that, but they were fine. i have metatarsalgia (ball of foot pain) and Asics really help tremendously with that. great support but not too heavy. im 31, in good shape and will continue to buy Asics from here on.
