My new Gel-Quantum 180-6's replaced Quantum 180-5's that I purchased in 2021 for walking and treadmill exercising. I found my Quantum 180-5's to be very comfortable and supportive, however the gel portion of the sole began separating from the foam-like shoe sole so ASICS replaced them at no charge. 180 5's were not available on the ASICS website, so I selected the 180 6's. If found them to fit a little snugger (shorter and narrower) than the 5's, yet not to the extreme of having to exchange them for a larger size. They have a more stylish upper and seem to be well constructed. I have worn them six times as a casual shoe, yet have not worked out in them. I'm hopeful the sole holds up under the pressure of long walks and light treadmill exercising - time will tell.

Very comfortable! These shoes are both comfy and cute, and pair well with shorts, leggings, pants & even casual lounge fashion. I sized up by a half size (due to concern over width), but I could very well wear the smaller size since they’re not overly tight. They’re knocked down a star, just because I have plantar fasciitis and I have to apply inserts before any cardio workout - but overall a good shoe for the gym & lifestyle :)

I worn these for work (office) and absolutely loved them. However, I walk 6 miles a day and wear a few brands and never had an issue. I decided to try these for the walk and it rubbed skin off the tulip of center toe - badly. The shoe fits like the others - not too big or small - perfect fit, yet this was the result. Love the shoe but it didn’t perform when I needed it to. Not all brands or models work for everyone, this one didn’t for me. If I needed just for work or casual wearing - awesome.

If I hadn't have thrown the boxes out, the 2 pair I bought would be on their way back. This is the 3rd time I'm aware of they've changed the design. Completely flat footed with no heel support. Even when standing I'm back on my heels, sinking flat to the ground. All around the foot you can feel the arch supports rise up around your feet and this is the same size I've used for decades. Width is great as is the length but there's absolutely no middle base to this shoe.The lacing system is rotten as well. One must squeeze their fingers into spaces to get a grip and it's lace hole by lace hole to tighten and when unlacing, nothing releases and the shoe stays tight until you cram it back on. Never seen such a poor design. I just may give these 2 pair to Goodwill.
I bought the Oyster Grey model for lifestyle/light gym use. I am in love with the color and the fit of the shoe. Pretty low profile, colors are great, the quality is great, and I am very happy with the purchase. I actually came back to buy the Black/Glow model and figured I'd write a review which I typically don't do. Saw there was only one review at three stars and I definitely think these shoes deserve a higher rating.
I recently took a chance at getting these after seeing the reviews and I've fallen in love with the M*RC NOIR colorway.I own another pair of Quantum 180s in the Piedmont Grey colorway and I would say these are just as comfortable as those. The leather in the inside of the shoe and the insole makes it a little stiffer, but not so much that it changes what any Q180 feels like. Materials feel high quality and attention to detail in this shoe is great. Don't be put off by the low reviews. This is an excellent colorway and shoe and ASICS/M*RC NOIR did a great job.
These are the most comfortable ASICS shoes I’ve ever had ASICS have always been my favorites. these seem to have almost twice as much cushioning then is really even necessary …such a luxury shoe for running. These are a big upgrade on the quantum 180s from a few years ago that had thinner cushioning but more plastic in the soul. These are incredible shoes they feel like $150 shoes but I see what people are complaining about the fabric being a little wonky, but they make up for that with stylish mimicry of old school new balance shoes uppers.
I bought this pair after I had purchased the same style in Black/Rose Gold. I love the fit and feel of the Black/Rose Gold. The black pair I purchased after definitely do not fit the same. The black pair has a suede area in the toe front of the shoe. After wearing it a few times outdoors, the suede area looks terrible. The shoe feels heavy on my feet and the laces do not stay tied!
I’ve worn ASICS shoes for a long time and I’ve worn the Quantum-360 but this is my first, and definitely last time wearing the Quantum-180. I wear these for officiating basketball games for context. First off they have a very narrow toe box and really pinch. The lacing system and heel cup doesn’t work well either. If you lace all the way into the extra eyelet they uncomfortably squeeze the top of your foot and there is barely enough lace to sufficiently tie them and I don’t even have tall feet. The absolute worst part of these shoes is the cushioning or lack there of. It feels like there is little to no cushioning with them. I’ve never gotten shin splints before but after the first game where I wore these I had the worst shin splints of my life. I thought maybe they ... MoreI’ve worn ASICS shoes for a long time and I’ve worn the Quantum-360 but this is my first, and definitely last time wearing the Quantum-180.

I’ve never gotten shin splints before but after the first game where I wore these I had the worst shin splints of my life. I thought maybe they needed to be broken in more so I wore them around the house for several hours running/walking on my treadmill. Tried them at the next game and same result shin splint city! I would love to return them but we all know ASICS is terrible about accepting returns so they’ll sit in my closet in the box. I quickly bought some Adidas Boost shoes to replace them, officiated 4 games in them and no issues with shin splints at all.
I bought the solid red Gel Quantum 360 6's about a year ago, wore them out. That was my favorite shoe I've ever worn. My size wasn't available to get another pair. Decided to try the solid red 180's. A month into purchase I've found a new favorite. Amazing comfort, great fit, great structure and shaping, top notch styling. I doubt you'll find a better overall shoe at this price-point. Worth the money.
