This is the new version of the Asics shoe that I had been wearing for the last couple years.  These are even better.  I was having horrible problem with foot pain...wake up in the morning and as soon as my feet hit the floor, it hurt.  I went to our local Lady's Footlocker and had a knowledgable clerk who led me to these Asics.  My foot pain has been gone since.  THESE ARE GREAT!!!!
