From the Manufacturer
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 for Running and Overall Fitness
I took up running as part of my fitness routine about 2 years ago. I don't run more than about 5-7 miles in any given week, but I do add running (treadmill or pavement) to my 6-7 hours of exercise per week. With that in mind here are my opinions on these shoes.
They perform well indoors and out. Comfortable in all weather conditions hot or cold(I live in the Midwest so the coolest outdoor runs I attempt are in the 40's). I feel like they wick away moisture very well as my feet never feel excessively hot or "prune-y" after a workout. They are very light weight which I found as a huge plus over my previous workout shoes.
My only concern for someone who is using these shoes as I do for running and general cardio sessions is that for step work I seem to feel like the shoe doesn't have as much support in the side walls of the shoes, which is to be expected from running shoes keeping them light weight. I wouldn't call this a negative however like I said if you are using them as I do for multi purpose workout shoes and have ankle issues or need that support this might not fit your needs.
I purchased these from sports shoe retailer (F.Line) that offered me a 14 day return policy, which IMO is a killer deal since this type of shoe can run upwards of $90 per pair. After the first 3 days I wanted to eat, sleep and run in them! I also bought a pair of insoles to replace the Asics factory ones. The stoke ones are comfortable, but the extra $20 spent on the insoles was well worth it. The sales person that sold them to me said that he is able to make is running shoes last longer because of the insoles not breaking down at the arch area. I believe it. I have had this pair for 9 months and am just starting to notice that my knees are getting slightly sore after a full hour of working out. I know thats a sign they are wearing out. I am going to shop for a new pair this week- I will be putting these up against the Under Armor Running shoes(with sleeve). I would have no problems picking these exact shoes again.
Just for comparison sake I have had owned the following brands of workout/running shoes in the past-
Nike AirMax TrailWind...These just did not fit my feet right, they were comfortable to walk around in in the store, but after the first workout I hung them up and they are my "run to the grocery store" shoes now...to the tune of $78- I have found that I prefer a wide width with most of my Nike workout shoes.
New Balance 621 - These are an all terrain shoe that I loved. I bought them with the intent that I would only run in these outside, but then I found they were very comfortable indoors as well with all my workouts. When I went to buy another pair they didn't have the size I needed (wide width)and I was too impatient to order them. Found the Asics and overall like the Asics much better.
Hope this helps!
Very comfortable running shoe
I am very happy with this running shoe. Since I mostly run on pavement, the shoe has plenty of cushion. It feels like each step has a spring to it.
The most comfortable shoe I've ever owned!
This is the first pair of Asics I've ever tried on in my life; I'd always heard good things about them from actual runners, but was always particular to Nike. I tried on 6 different pairs of running and training shoes (I do both) and none of them could hold a candle to the cushioning in these. You can feel the gel support in both the balls and the heels of your feet. I even tried on a different Asics model (which also felt great), but these made me want to jump around. I normally wear an eight, but the 8.5 felt perfect with just the right amount of space. I may never buy a pair of Nikes again!
