I work as a nurse and stand on my feet for more then 12 hours at a time, these are the BEST brand of shoes!!  Will wear nothing other then ASICS!!  Love the colors.  While I'm not wearing them for running I can certainly appreciate the comfort and lightweight material. I haven't had any issue with the decals on the sides coming off as others have reported.  Some of my patient are children and they always enjoy commenting on my BRIGHT SHOES!
