I ignored the many reviews that warned to get a half-size larger than you normally use. For example, order a size 9 if your shoe size is normally 8 1/2. Asian feet must be bonier or narrower. The Asics shoe crams your toes, and I order the 4E size. Asics beats New Balance in comfort. I have the New Balance 920's and I think they fail the walking test for someone like me who walks an average of 10 miles on a work shift. I got the Asics several months after acquiring bone spurs while wearing the New Balance shoes. The lack of 5-stars is not because Asics  doesn't make a great shoe. I just wish that they kept the Western size foot in mind when marketing their shoe sizes.
