Comfort takes the lead with the new gel-excite™ 4 shoe. Featuring rearfoot gel® cushioning technology, the gel-excite™ 4 shoe is the latest development in an energetic running shoe that is versatile enough for moderate mileage and all day use. In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Great fitting sneaker with nice size toe box
I have ordered at least 15 pairs of sneakers looking for the perfect fit. This sneaker is finally it. I put this sneaker on right out of the box and it felt comfortable. The next morning I wore it to my step class and spent 45 minutes putting it through the test! 100% passing! My toes felt fine, my arches felt fine, as well as my heels and the rest of my feet. No pain or discomfort at all!!! I cant believe it. These are true to size. I usual wear a 7.5 and this is what I bought. I have a slightly wide foot, a decent arch, and a small bunion that only bothers me with some shoes. This sneaker did not hurt my bunion at all, the arch has nice support and the toe box is great. I also ordered the Venture 6 at the same time in a wide(D). This sneaker, the excite 4, in a regular(B) width, fit and felt better. The color is great in person, bright and vibrant.

These shoes are the best running shoes I have had so far.
I wore this shoes to the gym the same day they arrived. I did not have to break them in. They fit true to their size. I was very impressed how comfortable and light they felt. I run 5 -5.5 miles 3-4 times a week. I usually have knee pain after running. These shoes made my knee pain go from a 7/10 post running to 2/10 on day one of wearing them.Another great feature these shoes have is the breathability. I have never felt air flow in any of my other sneakers. These shoes keep your feet feeling cool throughout your running/workout time.I would definitely recommend them to anyone who runs/exercises for their light weight, shock absorbance, and breathability. I wear cotton socks with my shoes; so the breathability is a bonus for me. These shoes are worth every penny.

Great sneakers
Every time I purchase new Asics sneakers I know it's going to be an amazing experience. Comfortable, colors exactly as pictured, top quality. For the last 20 years I've been purchasing Asics sneakers, they are the best.Some time ago I was on a trip with a friend and one day we were shopping the whole day, taking crowded subways and buses, walking for over 8 hours (we sat for half an hour to grab a snack). I was wearing my Asics, of course, but not my friend (I won't say the brand she was using, it's not polite ... for that brand). By the end of the journey her feet, calves and thighs were hurting really bad (almost burning, she said, especially her feet) .... I was feeling a little tired but my legs and feet were not in pain; in fact, I could walk a couple of hours more without any discomfort. That was an Asics experience. Enough said. You say Asics and you know you get the best quality when you want sneakers to walk, run or any other workout.

Good, inexpensive shoe with comfortable toe
Had purchased this shoe from a department store a year ago, and was pleased to find it on Amazon for cheaper. I like the shoe (even though purple and orange are not my colors); my husband says that the orange helps me to be seen when I go walking/jogging. Mesh upper around the toes helps to make sure you aren't cramped in your running/walking, and I really appreciate the flexibility of that. The sole is a little harder than I expected, and I had pain in my foot the first time(s) I jogged with them. However, my right foot is slightly larger than my left. I assume this will go away as I break them in; it's already helped. The small rub in the heel is going away with daily use, also, and I just make sure my sock comes up to there. Wearing with either cheap no-show socks or UnderArmor no-show socks, and no fit problems with either. Probably would be a fabulous shoe with a gel insole. The removable ones that come with Asics shoes make my life so much better. Shoe lasted me almost a year of regular wear and tear, and only started to really erode the sole after I started jogging regularly this summer. Can't tell you how many miles I have put on them since I don't track that.

Cute, comfortable, and affordable!
This is my second pair of Asics, and I bought them for walking at work instead of working out at the gym, and so far they are very comfortable. Wear a size 10, and while they are a bit small, they are very comfortable! At first I thought I would need to send them back, but they flex and stretch out just enough to be snug and not too tight. The gel is firm enough to last all day while being flexible enough to keep my foot cushioned. I am an RN and work 12 hour shifts, and so far I have worn them for two weeks and they have held up nicely. The color is very cute and give an adorable pop of color while not being obnoxious. I hope they last a while, but I am very happy with them so far.

My first pair of ASICS and I Love them!
I am a walker. Currently 6 miles a day 6-7 days a week. I have always worn Nike. Had to buy a pair online due to COVID and they were the worse Nike’s ever. So, found ASICS (made in Japan – not China) and my first walk was awesome. 6 miles and no problems with "new" shoes. Extremely comfortable. Feels like I have good support. They fit true to size. I have always worn an 8 and ordered an 8 - perfect.After day 3 I’m sold. I am not going back to Nike. Highly recommend you buy ASICS! These are excellent shoes.

Perfect!
Wow, the gel Excite has done it again! Fits first time on like it was made for my personal exact feet. Keeping that in mind, everyone has different feet, so they may not be perfect for all. I walked 3 mi in these the day after I received them. Can't believe how good they look and feel. They do run a lil small. I am usually a 9.5 exactly, but I size up to a 10 on Asics and they are perfect. How many times can I use the word perfect in a review? I am not being bribed with anything either, these shoes are just that great!
