I only wear Asics.  I use them for walking, running, the gym, Zumba and just about everywhere else so I was looking for a different look but the same manufacturer and these are just beautiful with different colors than the ones I already have.  I also wanted to try a slightly different style.  These look bright on the screen and when you get them you'll see, they are just beautiful with dark color going around the toe area instead of  around the back as some are made.  This style doesn't have the duomax which I am used to but I don't feel the difference.  Get them, they'll cheer you up;)
