I think these shoes look absolutely amazing. I wear them when I am teaching Pilates classes because they match the company branding. I own several pairs of Asics and have loved them all.<br />The only complaint I have is that the top of the foot is so tight it puts a lot of pressure on my instep. I have never had this problem with other shoes. I've loosened the laces but that didn't really help either. I will still wear them as long as I'm teaching Pilates but I have to immediately take them off and feel instant foot relief because they were so compressed.
