I have a bad feet and have wasted money on lots of shoes and still end up being uncomfortable. I even bought a Rockport and because it was so comfortable, I bought the same shoe but in a different color. We'll, that shoe was uncomfortable so that's my dilemma.
After numerous search, I heard that Asics is the way to go. Well, I wanted something black and tried the GT2170 in a store but at $110, it was a bit hard to swallow. I discovered that the GT2160 is essentially the same. I compared the soles of both shoes and so I bought it.
Out of the box, it seems to be a solid build. I immediately put them on to work. I got the wide width. The mid-sole was comfortable and the heel. However, my right foot is bigger than my left so my arch was pinching. I nearly cried because it was so comfy. Well, I solved this problem by using the insoles from one of my Rockport shoes and that solved the problem. The gel does really help a lot lot as opposed to other shoes. Asics will be the way to go for me now on.
