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.

Perfect
My body does best either bare foot or with minimum support. A lot of sneakers add too much padding or the sole curves to correct for pronation. This shoe is perfect. It keeps my feet, knees and back feeling great. They are excellent for running in. They are also very light. You will want to avoid stepping in wet areas, because the soles, being as light as they are, are porous and water will soak through.

Shoe are great
Shoe are great, but the service stinks. It said I would receive it on the 4th. Waited all day for package, but did not come. Got message it was dropped at post office and would be deliveries on Wed. If you set a date for delivery at least get it right.

Extremely comfortable, very light
This asics has been accompanying me on my tracks for the last 100km and never had one single pain, blister or anything unexpected. The shoe is still intact after been used on treadmill, street and sand.It can, thought, be a little uncomfortable for running on rainy days, since it is designed to help ventilation and, therefore, it lets a bit of water in.

So disappointed
I have worn ASCIS for over 20 years. Gel Lyte 2's size 9. I got these and my toes are jammed in the front horribly. The sole of the shoe has "breathable" holes in it, 6 of them. So when you step in a puddle when you are running or run on wet grass the entire base of your foot gets soak and wet! Not good for runners. Not good for anyone. VERY disappointed.

Nice Shoe, but Fits Tight
This is a great shoe in that it supplies the support I need yet is very light. It fits tight, and I even got a bigger size than I usually do. The shoes come untied more than other shoes. I also wish it came in another color, but I can deal with that. Overall a great shoe, but I probably will look for something similar that fits better in the future.

Very Disappointed
I was excited to try out these shoes but was very disappointed. The shoes were light and fit properly but there was a heat build up on the soles of my feet when I ran more than 6 miles. I had planned to wear them for a half marathon but had to send them back.

Its nice but...
Have to say that my shoes are light and pretty colors, very good price but If your size is 10/10.5 like mine I recommend not to save money buying sports shoes online. I didnt feel completly comfortable

Awesome running shoes!
ASICS never fails to make a great shoe! The negative is the sizing. If you are considering this shoe go at least a half to full size larger it runs small and somewhat narrow. I usually take an 8 but needed to go up to a 8.5 in this shoe. The price is good too.
