I love Asics.  I've tried other running brands over the years, but Asics always just fit me well.  This pair was no different.  They were snug, but not tight, when I put them on.  I did one 3 mile run in them, and they felt great like Asics always do.

Unfortunately, I put them on today for my second run and noticed that the stitching by the big toe on the right shoe was unraveling.  Let me be clear.  They did not get scuffed or sliced or cut...the stitching just started unraveling!!  Clearly this is an unacceptable defect for a decent running shoe.  Due to my history with Asics and Amazon's great return policy, I'm doing an exchange instead of a refund.  I'm hoping my next pair is more durable.
