I didn't like these shoes as much as I wanted to. They look and feel cheap and are not supportive at all. I bought them for a trip to San Francisco because I knew I'd be walking several miles every day and wanted something that was more stylish than gym shoes and wouldn't take up a ton of room in my luggage. These were OK. They felt thin and the Asics stripe is basically just like a sticker on the side of the fabric, so it looked cheap too. I would definitely not pay more than $30-40 for these. The sizing is consistent with Asics' athletic shoes. I wear a 10 in normal shoes (vans, converse, ballet flats) and a 10.5 in my Asics gym shoes; I got a 10.5 in these and they were great.
