ASICS Gel-Excite 4 Women's Running Shoe

I got these shoes bc I had worn my current ones (same style, different color) out. ASICS are pretty suited to my running style. I need a lot of support and cushion, and I have bony toes/feet that are very prone to blisters if my shoes don’t fit right. Additionally, my feet are different sized from each other, but not enough to be two different shoe sizes. This style gives me plenty of cushioning and support as well as flexibility with the mesh material that enables the shoes to fit my crazy feet without causing blisters. The ones I have now have lasted me for a long time. I am running distances between (usually) three and eight miles, so keep in mind that I am talking about a slow, steady paced, medium distance run.Also, the color of these shoes is very nice and understated for a running shoe. You could wear these as walking around shoes if you wanted. They would go nicely with jeans.

Great shoes

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.

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.

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.

I have triangle feet, meaning narrow heels and slightly wide toes. My previous running shoes were NB and were wide all over. They looked super bulky and gravel would often fall in at the ankle because how large they were back there. I ordered always order a full size up on running shoes and did the same this time. The wide fit on these are not bulky and in fact I was worried they sent the regular fit. After further research, they did in fact send regular and not wide fit shoes. However, I can wiggle my toes around and they do not feel cramped in the toe box so I am going to keep them. They do not seem to have much arch support, but I do not rely on that, so not a deal breaker for me. These seem to be good shoes for the price.

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!

I did 45,000 steps from DTLA to the beach this past weekend, on concrete sidewalks, and have zero blisters and my feet feel great. My ankles are slightly sore, but that's it. I have been wearing these shoes for 2-3 months doing 3 mile treadmill walks, so it wasn't a guaranteed proposition. But I am so happy; they held up great, and I'm wearing them now!I'm an 8-1/2 solid, but I bought a 9-1/2 so I could wear thicker socks and have room in the toe box. I thought I bought too big, but they tie perfectly around my foot and don't slide, so the extra room is just good toe wiggle room. My heels are slightly narrower than some but the ball of my foot is normal; not narrow, not wide. (I have had 9's in this brand before, so the 9-1/2 was kind of an accident. For exercise, they are just right with the socks. ) These shoes could be a bit heavier than some people like, but I really love them.UPDATE: Just bought my 3rd pair, about 1.500 miles each pair. Love them. Sized down 1/2 size this rune to a 9, to get tighter feel around the foot.
