I used to love Ascics and this is my 3rd pair in the last year that has disappointed. I tried these on in the store and loved them, but now after wearing them all day my feet hurt. My theory is its the gel technology, I feel like it doesn't support my foot and allows my foot to drop lower then desired. My first pair that had the gel technology in the heels and my heels hurt, this pair has it in the heals and toes and now my heals and toes hurt.
