I usually always wear a 8.5 in Asics and have always been super satisfied with them but this model just didn't deliver for me.  I am surprised but I will be returning it never to buy another Triumph.  I have been happy with my older 1160 or 2130 gels but shoe companies always change their numbers/styles/etc. so unless you buy 6 at a time you never seem to get the same shoe you fell in love with before.  I like more cushion than this had and it felt like I needed a size 9 instead and that was even trying them on in the early a.m.!!  I am a 55 yr. old 3 mi. a day walker/weight resistance person.
