I used to be a Nike snob untiI discovered Asics. After wearing these incredibly comfortable shoes that feel like heaven on my feet no other shoe has been able to compare. Yes, these are expensive but most definitely worth the money spent in my opinion. I work in retail so I am on my feet A LOT and my feet rarely hurt no matter how many hours I've been walking around in these shoes. I feel like they fit a tad small. I ordered my shoe size and my toes were about to bust out so I exchanged them for a 1/2 larger and they for perfect. I also have wide feet and that hasn't been a concern in these shoes.
