This is my 3rd pair of Asics. The first pair was recommended by my foot doctor when I had Plantar fasciitis. I replaced the insoles with powerstep orthotics and they are the best walking shoes. I put these on right out of the box. At first the right shoe felt larger so I had to adjust the shoelaces for a few days until I wore them a while. Now they fit perfect and I love the colors and purple laces. Highly recommend.
