I've owned six or seven pairs of asics running shoes and this is the least comfortable pair by far, it was also the cheapest pair, so maybe you get what you pay for.  Nowhere near as comfortable as the kayano or kinsei.  It feels like the back/heal doesn't come up far enough on my foot/ankle.  Also, the laces are too short.  I always wear a 9.5 and this fit about the same, maybe a tad bit smaller.
