First off I am writing this review only to help others. I have received no compensation of any kind for it. Second off, I’ve been running since 1998 (25 years). I’m currently in my mid 40s and working towards a goal of running 3,000 miles (the distance across the continental U.S.) bit-by-bit between 40 and 50. I run 3-5 miles 3X a week, no more/no less. Since age 42 I’ve run 1700 miles. I’ve written running shoe reviews semi-professionally in the past, too. So I am pretty qualified to review a running shoe. Thirdly, my preferred brand is ASICS. I have tried a lot of shoe brands as a semi-professional reviewer because they were sent to me, but I always have come back to ASICS because they just…work. I believe the straight lasting is a lot of the reason why. Also, the tendency of the ASICS brand to put their premium technology into their budget models (GEL cushioning, for example) brings me back again and again. They just make the best affordable runners on the market. Fourthly, I have always been an advocate for budget running shoes, provided they are well-designed. I have tried the expensive ones at various times and have developed more typical running injuries in those than I have in a solid pair of reasonably-priced running shoes. Particularly, I do not like ultra-cushioned shoes. I like a low-to-the-ground natural feel when I run. In ultra-cushioned shoes, I can’t get ground-feedback when running and that’s a fail for me. It’s like running in space. It’s weird. Fifthly, and this is probably the main point, the ASICS Excite series is a favorite of mine. I have used the Excite 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and now 9. They keep getting better. I find that they have just enough cushioning to dampen impact but not so much as to throw off my gait. I use them with my doctor-prescribed orthotics (pictured) and the combo works very well. If I were a distance runner (like a marathoner) I might need a shoe with more cushioning, but for 3-5 miles 3X a week these are absolutely ideal. ASICS has priced this model very reasonably which is great given the high-level tech used here; the GEL heel cushion plus Amplifoam midsole are superb for dampening shock from the road. The outsoles are durable too. The uppers aren’t as tough as those on the Excite 8 but it still works fine for me. Fit is on-point too. Overall for what these cost you will likely not find a better performance runner. So in summary, if you’re a regular runner/jogger and looking for a good solid shoe to use for shorter distances (up to 6 or 7 miles), look no further. These are absolutely superb and I honestly like them better than many shoes that cost twice as much or more!

They are very comfortable, since I have feet problems. They were recommend by a chiropractor to my wife and so I diced to give them a try, this is my second pair and only shoes I buy from now on. Amazon's price was great too. I highy recommend it to anyone that needs very confortable shoe, give them a try. So people have an idea, I used to wear Skecher for about 10years, but Asics are a lot more comfortable.

Ordered 1/2 size larger for walking. Spot on for toe room and very comfortable. If you use the last eyelet for heel lock lacing, you will need longer laces, e.g. 59 inches or longer. 54 inch laces are almost too short to tie for heel lock.

Though I really like these sneakers . The only issue I had was the delivery. It was pouring rain the day it was delivered and they were delivered in a box which got soaked all the way through. I would think someone would put in plastic, something that wouldn't get wet. Especially being it was raining all day. Other than that. I was happy with product. Sneakers 👟 were not wet thankfully.

It took me 3 tries to get the size right. The Amazon suggested size was a half size larger than my normal, so I took their suggestion. It was too small. Reordered the next half size larger. It too was too small. Finally ordered another half size larger, which fits very well.

These are the first pair of running shoes I have tried that don’t cramp my toes, or cause back issues. Recommended by a friend with wife feet. These fit the bill.

Long time ago I was looking for a walking shoe and a salesman said, "buy a running shoe and you will get more for your money." I have been an Asics fan ever since.
