My sister recently gave me a pair of Asics Gel Enduro 6. They're low-end for Asics, and since they were ordered for her, they were 8.5 and I usually wear a 9-9.5. After wearing her too-small shoes at work for one day and experiencing how lovely the gel felt on my feet after 9 hours of standing, I decided to try and find an Asics gel system shoe that came in wide widths and actually order it in my size. I loved the soft, supportive feel of the Enduro 6 shoes.

That said, this is not the replacement I was looking for. I knew it as soon as I took them out of the box. The sole on this is very rigid, and just poking my fingers into the inside lining of this shoe was enough to confirm that this is a harder gel than what is in the Enduro 6 shoes. This seems like it would be a great stability shoe, and I don't want to hurt its ratings too much just because I ordered it and it wasn't what I needed, so I'm sticking to three stars which is neutral.
