This is my second pair of Asics- my last pair were Kayanos and they had lots of support in the arch and forefoot. Understand the Blur33 is more of a speed shoe and not Cadillac-cushy and you won't be disappointed. Toe box is nice and roomy (and cool!), it has wonderful lateral support and is super light with a nice, flexible sole. I do wish it had more arch support, but my arches are extremely high. During the winter I run indoors at the Petitt Center here in Milwaukee on their oval. The surface has some "give" and the shock absorbent quality of it keeps me running pain-free (I am recovering from a broken 5th metatarsal bone that required a screw to reduce). The combination of weight, lateral support and surface are ideal for me at this point in the recovery process. I will slowly start running on concrete again and have a feeling I'll be wearing my Mizuno WaveCreations or Riders for the smooth ride.
I'm not saying the Blur33 is an inferior shoe by any means- au contraire ... it's a fantastic shoe (and I got mine here from Beall's for just $30!!). It's so light and flexible without feeling like a flat, has offset lacing, is very well made and has great support in the forefoot and lateral parts of the last. My situation is unique at the moment due to the break and resulting surgery and the fit/features are perfect right now at this stage of the game. I have some residual swelling and my intertarsal ligament is still bruised from this 5 month old injury... definitely a smart purchase.
