ASICS has managed to create a shoe that competes with more expensive brands in terms of performance but without breaking the bank. One thing to note is that the sizing seems to be consistent with other ASICS models, so ordering your usual size should work well.
However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind before buying these shoes. First, if you need significant arch support, you might find these lacking in that department. I have fallen arches, and I had to insert additional insoles to get the support I needed. So, if arch support is essential for you, be prepared to make that adjustment.
Secondly, the sizing was a bit tricky for me. I usually wear a size 12-12.5, but with these ASICS shoes, I had to size up to a 13 to get the right fit. It's crucial to follow the manufacturer's sizing guide and, if possible, measure your foot accurately before purchasing. This can save you the hassle of returns and exchanges.
In conclusion, these ASICS shoes are a great choice if you're looking for comfort and cushioning, but be aware of potential issues with arch support and sizing. Make sure to measure your foot and consult the sizing guide to ensure the best fit for your needs.

I am getting into marathon training (pegasus 40 and new balance 1080v13) and these still find a purpose in my rotation as a daily casual wear.
I use these in the beginning for getting into shape. Casual 2-3 mile runs, around the gym, and light hiking trails (5-7miles). To be honest its my easy reach for anything aside from a 3 or more mile run.
I am now about to get my fourth pair just for disney world versus using up my Pegasus 40 or nb.
Tldr- these are a great value shoes. Solid shoes if you are just casually getting into shape, doing casual activities. It won’t let you down.
