I ordered this shoe from Amazon when it was one of the Cyber Monday deals 2012.  I am so glad that I did.  These are exceedingly comfortable.  The shoe is wide enough for comfort and movement without so much room that my foot slides around.  I use inserts in my shoes as well, and am so happy that this pair had the easily removable liner so that I could easily place my supports in immediately.

The colors are vibrant and bright, exactly as pictured on the site.  The front toe detail as well as the heal detail are suede.  The side colored detail is a felt-like material, which surprised me, but was not a deal breaker by any means.  The classic ASICS symbol is a vinyl-type material - as normal.  The construction seems very good, again, as is normal for ASICS.  I have only been wearing these for a week, but they are holding up well so far.

Also, I water/ stain-proofed them before wear so as to keep them looking nice.  The spray that I use did not discolor the fabric - even the suede - as has sometimes happened with other shoes.

The shoe is very light, so it is very comfortable for running or walking even for a longer distance. The main body material is very breathable but still allows my foot to remain comfortable when I'm not warmed up. There is a reflective patch on the outside toe as well as on the heal which is nice considering the amount of daylight is limited now.  While it isn't a huge patch of reflective material, it is enough to catch the attention, which is what I'm after, though I recommend other reflective gear, head lap, etc. if running/ walking in the later evening, or at night.

Overall, I would give this a 4.5 stars out of 5.  This is a great buy.  If you can get it on a deeper discount as I did on Cyber Monday, DON'T HESITATE!
