Asics Gel Quantum 360 VII
The shoes are comfortable and fit well. I did find a white mark on the front top part of my black runners that did not wipe off, so I had to use permanent marker to cover it up. I also noticed around the soles of the shoes, bits of glue or excess stringy rubber bits, it looks messy and for the price I paid it didn't seem worth it. Makes them look cheaply and poorly made...

Comfortable but would avoid
I bought this shoe for its styling and color. Though comfortable, it was large for its size compared to other ASICS shoes I have purchased. Most notably the laces are HUGE in length and hang over the shoe even when double knotted. Why they did this bewilders me. It makes the shoe look ridiculous.... Show more

Disappointing
I have always liked ASICS shoes because of their comfort and style. However this time i am disappointed. First time wearing these, and not even 20 minutes on my feet the top caved in (see photo attached). Now the top rubs on my toes making it uncomfortable to walk. It seems ASICS are unfortunately going down the same route as Nike: they use cheaper materials, but charge higher prices. Shame.... Show more

Fast delivery.
Great pair of shoes so far. Have worn ASICS for a few years now for running and hard to move away from them. Great product. Comfortable and ensuring. I run 20-25km a week and these have been great. That’s why I came back for yet another pair.... Show more

GEL-Quantum 360: Love the subtle colors!
ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 Review - 05/03/2017Size: Womens 6 (my foot measures 23 cm from heel to longest toe)Color: Hi Rise/Grey/Light BluePROS--**Subtle/neutral colors!** The color (hi rise/grey/light blue) was a major selling point. Thanks to ASICS for offering customers the option for something other than florescent, neon, bright colors. Love subtle and neutral color options!--Engineering. Overall, solid engineering.

A great quality shoe.--Gel. The all-over gel feels great under the foot.--Materials. The seamless fabric is great, and it seems to resist getting dirty easily (like the old technology of mesh, which easily stained).--Logo application. The logo is not stitched on—it is basically painted on, in some substance like rubber or silicone. It has glitter in it, but it’s subtle. I hope to see more of this *transparent* rubber/silicone in the future.--Rubber or silicone coating in other places like around the lace holes is also awesome!--Dark colored lining. A dark or medium-colored lining is far superior to a light-colored lining, because the inner lining is where sweat, sunscreen, etc. drip down and create stains.--Weight. Not too heavy, despite feeling like there is some cushion.--Dimensions of sole. The sole on this shoe "protrudes" less than others, like the GEL-Nimbus 19. Upon trying on the GEL-Nimbus 19, I found the sole to be bulky—it felt like an unnatural, giant protruding box added to the foot. This is not the case with the GEL-Quantum 360, which feels more like a natural extension of the body due to the more minimal sole.CONS--Rigid plastic heel. The rigid plastic heel is awful for me in size 6. It hurts! Only a few minutes in to my first run, I could feel the hard plastic rubbing against my outer ankle. The problem is that the heel comes up too high, and then abruptly ends—like a shelf—rather than gradually tapering off or ending lower. (I fixed this by shaving the top of the plastic piece down with a razor blade, and then added an adhesive gel pad to the inside of the shoe wall where the ankle hits.)--Tongue slippage/lace loop placement. The tongue slipped down on me when laced with the laces entering the loop on the tongue from the third hole from the top. Moving the laces to the second hole from the top and then threading through the loop helped, but it's an awkward fit.--Inconsistent sizing. I have been wearing GEL-Nimbus since about 2005—over ten years!—in a size 6.5. I purchased a size 6 in the GEL-Quantum 360, and I wonder if 5.5 would have been a better fit. Consistent sizing from ASICS would be a plus.--Roomy sizing. For my skinny, narrow feet the size 6 has too much room, especially around the toe box. Thick socks help, but I have never had this problem in all my years of wearing a size 6.5 in the GEL-Nimbus.SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS--For all shoes: ASICS should offer "add an extra pair of laces" option. I’d be willing to pay an extra fee for laces that match. (I switched out the black laces for light grey, because the black laces on the black tongue with black lining felt too stark and almost “masculine.”)--Cut down the sole protrusion, so at the heel soles end where the shoe itself ends at close to a 90 degree angle, rather than extend far past the shoe at an angle....

Great shoes
Great service. The shoes are so comfortable. The only caution i would add is that I used the size estimator on the site and it recommended a larger size than i ordinarily wear based on other manufacturers shoes that I own. Had i have followed this guidance the shoes would have been to big. Instead i ordered my regular size and they fit perfect... Show more

I never review products but it was very important for me to share my experience about this one as I have awaited the debut of the shoes! I had my money all saved up and was so excited to purchase the shoes! ASICS I LOVE THE COLOR CHOICES!! You hit a homerun with that! After hearing that these were like pillows for your feet I couldn't wait to get my hands on them. I hope this review will help you in making your choice on your next pair of shoes to let me highlight a few things... If you're looking for a shoe that fits like a glove, this is not it. The toe box is very roomy which feels great but it is definitely not a snug fit at all. There is not a ton of lateral support so this may not be the best choice for you if you are doing something that involves a lot of ...

I hope this review will help you in making your choice on your next pair of shoes to let me highlight a few things... If you're looking for a shoe that fits like a glove, this is not it. The toe box is very roomy which feels great but it is definitely not a snug fit at all. There is not a ton of lateral support so this may not be the best choice for you if you are doing something that involves a lot of those types of activities! For example when I am jogging on the pavement or the treadmill this shoe performs very well , if I'm doing squat jacks and agility movements in the gym I feel like there's not enough structure . The shoe does not feel like a bunch of pillows on my feet like everybody else has described, however it certainly is comfortable! Prior to this my go-to shoe has always been the Asics Kinsei or the Brooks Glycerin... Still think that those had more of a bouncy cushioning to them compared to the Quantum. The sole on this shoe is more durable than the Kinsei. I do like this shoe a lot, and while I do not regret my purchase, after having the reviews of the shoe build me up thinking it was going to be super comfy and cushiony I was a bit disappointed. Overall, I would purchase this shoe again in the future as it is comfortable, and durable, however when I am in need of a new pair of running shoes I will turn to the Nimbus or the Brooks Glycerin. Hope this helps!... Show more

Men's GEL-Quantum 360 = Foot Paradise
I own a lot of different brands and types of running shoes, from more stylish running shoes, to hardcore tech running shoes, from super cushioned, to zero-drop road racing flats, and this shoe is now my total, overall favorite shoe I own.I own two pair of Brooks Glycerin (12 & 13), another pair of Asics (33-DFA), six pair of Saucony (Triumph ISO, Breakthrough, two pair of Type A6 Racing Flat, Endorphin Racing Flat, & Kineta Relay), four pair of Mizuno (two pair of Wave Rider 18, Wave Legend, & Wave Sayonara 2), two pair of Under Armour SpeedForm Gemini, and 23 pair of Under Armour SpeedForm Apollo (in basically every color they make it in), as that has been my go-to favorite for a while now. I'm not sure why but, that shoe just works with my foot anatomy ... MoreI own a lot of different brands and types of running shoes, from more stylish running shoes, to hardcore tech running shoes, from super cushioned, to zero-drop road racing flats, and this shoe is now my total, overall favorite shoe I own.I own two pair of Brooks Glycerin (12 & 13), another pair of Asics (33-DFA), six pair of Saucony (Triumph ISO, Breakthrough, two pair of Type A6 Racing Flat, Endorphin Racing Flat, & Kineta Relay), four pair of Mizuno (two pair of Wave Rider 18, Wave Legend, & Wave Sayonara 2), two pair of Under Armour SpeedForm Gemini, and 23 pair of Under Armour SpeedForm Apollo (in basically every color they make it in), as that has been my go-to favorite for a while now. I'm not sure why but, that shoe just works with my foot anatomy perfectly.I've also been working in the Technical Running Footwear industry for 11 years now, and know (pretty much) everything there is to know about feet and technical running footwear. So, I can speak on these shoes from a very experienced standpoint.As far as overall cushioning goes, I would rank the Brooks Glycerin 12 & 13 just slightly above this shoe. The Glycerin 13 feels much more "plush" on the upper, like slipping into a silk-lined, completely GEL house shoe, basically. However, they're bigger, clunkier feeling, and don't look very good at all, in my personal opinion. I've worn the GEL-Nimbus 17 before, but not for extended periods of time, maybe two hours at the longest just to test them out. I did feel like the Nimbus 17 had a little bit more heel cushioning than the Glycerin 12 or 13 did, but the 12, and especially the 13, feel much more plush, and quite a bit softer in the rest of the shoe. Again, they're not very good looking to me, though. On a 0-100 scale, for HEEL cushion, I'd put the Glycerin 13 at 95, Nimbus 17 at 100, Glycerin 12 at 90, and Quantum 360 at about 90 too. On a 0-100 scale, for FOREFOOT cushion, I'd put the Glycerin 13 at 100, Nimbus 17 at 85-90, Glycerin 12 at about 90, and the Quantum 360 at about 95. So, on a 0-100 scale, for OVERALL cushion, I'd put the Glycerin 13 at 95-100, Nimbus 17 at 90-95, Glycerin 12 at about 90, and the Quantum 360 at about 90. THEN, if I had a 0-100 scale, for LOOKS, I'd put the Glycerin 13 at about a 40, Nimbus 17 at about 40, Glycerin 12 at about 40, and the Quantum 360 at DEFINITELY 100!!I've only done a small amount of running in them so far, though. So, they might break in after a few more days, and become a perfect 100 all the way around, if they get just a tiny bit softer.These shoes are DEFINITELY, THE BEST LOOKING RUNNING SHOE I OWN!! I absolutely LOVE the way these shoes look! Asics Running Shoes aren't really known for their great looks. They have great tech, but generally get a bad rap for being "ugly" to a lot of people. These Quantum 360 also have great tech, but look better than any other running shoe I've ever worn, and trust me when I say, I've worn a LOT of running shoes. I currently own at least 50-60 pair of running shoes, and about 80 pairs of shoes overall, counting boots, dress shoes, loafers, flip-flops, cleats, etc. So, I'm a bit of a shoe fanatic.So, I can say, in a VERY ENTHUSIASTIC manner, that these Asics GEL-Quantum 360, in the 9390 - Lightning/Black/Electric Blue ((Silver & Blue)) color, are my favorite OVERALL technical running shoe that I own now. When looks, tech, comfort, and performance all play into the rating, these get a perfect five star rating, and I already have recommended these to a lot of my customers.... Show more

So comfortable!
Bee wearing these shoes (size 9.5) for a week now, and they have kept my feet stable and comfortable. The inner sole is very supportive.The laces are a bit of a drag on the black shoe (with green and pink accents), so I brightened them up with some pink elastic adjustable laces (matching the pale pink already in the shoe!).Now these shoes look fantastic and fit perfect perfectly!...

Wanted to love
I ordered these shoes online after they caught my eye in the store. I thought about it for a long time since they are more expensive than the other asics models that I usually buy and love and finally went for it. They arrive and I was immediately concerned about the thin material on the top. You could see my toe through and other people had mentioned that theirs ripped after a short time. But I loved the color and style so much, I continued to give them a shot. I put them on and walked around the house and experienced some heel slipping, which I don't have with the gel nimbus. The further I walked, I noticed that the bottom cushion on my left shoe only felt like it was bunching up with each step. Almost the feeling if you were wearing a sock that was too big and ...

The further I walked, I noticed that the bottom cushion on my left shoe only felt like it was bunching up with each step. Almost the feeling if you were wearing a sock that was too big and kept stepping on the wrinkles. I noted that it was only in one foot and even tried various socks and compared to my old shoes and still felt the slipping cushion. Unfortunately, this is something I felt with every step and cannot be ignored. They did not seem like they were a high enough quality to warrant the price tag. I also noticed that they were a bit heavier and clunkier feeling than the nimbus, especially in the heel area. Overall, I do not recommend these and will return to my old style of asics.... Show more
