Another great addition to my Ascics collection
These shoes are stiffer than my first loves, the Nimbus and Kayano. However, I find them to be a great addition to my collection as they help build my foot strength and balance during indoor cardio training. I order a half size down in this shoes to prevent slipping & extra rubbing. Great show, great color selections.... Show more

AWESOME SHOES - BUT NOT FOR THE KAYANO LOVER
when I saw these shoes I was so excited to try them. The gel on the whole sole was very appealing to me! I usually wear the Kayano which is a stability shoe. But I thought I try something new. Unfortunately for me, I shouldn't have wavered from a good shoe! These are only a neutral shoe. They felt way to flat for me and I felt very awkward running in them. I will be returning them and going back to what works best for me, which is the Kayano.I did order these a 1/2 size bigger which I do in all of my asics, That always makes them fit perfect for running. I currently run about 25 miles a week. If this shoe is the shoe for you, you'll love the fun new colors and the material was great! just not the fit for me.... Show more

great comfort, once you get the correct size
I usually wear a 9.5 N Gel Cumulus, but was not happy with the most recent version and decided to try these. As the site advised, I got a 9.5-- and they were much to long in the forefoot. The 9.0's came today and are almost perfect. The cushioning is good while the shoe isn't big and clunky. True, I won't be able to wear extra cushioning socks, but maybe I won't need them?And I;m going to change the laces. I HATE pink.... Show more

Great First Neutral Shoe!
I have been a devotee of the Gel Kayano line since I started running about one year ago. Having lost about 20% of my original body weight my gait now tests as neutral, and I was looking to stick with Asics for my first foray away from stability shoes. These caught my eye because of some flashy color choices and the level 5 cushioning for my 40+ yr old knees. They actually feel a bit more springy than expected which is nice. These fit a tiny bit tighter in the toe box than my Kayanos even though side by side they look the same size/width and I probably could have gone up 1/2 size. Even so, they are very comfortable and toes get less and less squished together with every run as the upper seems to have stretched a little. The laces do seem a little short. I'm keeping ...

I love these!!!!!!!!!
I love these shoes. I have a pair from a year ago and when I found that they were being discountinued, I purchased another pair. I tried the new version and was disappointed. Like the other reviewers the newer style is narrower and stiffer. I'll probably buy one extra of these!... Show more

Incredible cushioning and comfortable
I ordered these yesterday with expedited shipping. As soon as they arrived I had to go for a short run. As soon as I put these on my feet, I instantly felt the cushioning under my whole foot. I usually wear nimbus for the cushion but these were so much better. During the run on the road, they felt very good. I was worried about them being stiff but they moved with my foot with every movement and turn. I started marathon training this week and can't wait to run it in this shoe. I am very happy with this purchase.... Show more

New Favorites!
I bought a pair of Kayano 22's and Quantum 360's to compare since it's been a few years since I've run in Asics. I was fully expecting to like the Kayano's best, but to my surprise, after taking each pair out for a 3 mile test run I absolutely fell in love with the Quantum 360's. The way they hugged and cushioned my feet in all the right places with just the right amount was phenomenal. I was able to order my usual shoe size of 9 in the Quantum 360's but had to order a half size up in the Kayano's. It's nice to have a shoe just fit great in the size I typically wear. The styling of the Quantum's is great too. I chose the all white and silver as I'm not a huge fan of the wild crazy neon color trend in running shoes. It was so nice to finally have an option to not ... MoreI bought a pair of Kayano 22's and Quantum 360's to compare since it's been a few years since I've run in Asics.

Oh Yeah!
I did not order a size up as recommended, and glad I sticked to my instincts! Fits great. Color contrast of coral-orange, violet-pink, and bright yellow are ago a good mix. Feels wonderful on my feet. Fixing to check these puppies out to see how they feel while running and cycling. At this point, they are keepers just as they are........... Show more

Sole too heavy
Ordered this shoe as replacement work shoes. I always stick with Asics as I have tried others (nike, brooks) and always gone back to them. My profession is physical therapy and I prefer something with cushioning as I am on my feet and on the go 24/7. I have good arches and a neutral foot. These just felt heavy on my feet. Not all that comfortable. My heels hurt at the end of a 12 hr day. I have returned and replaced with Asics Gel Nimbus-18 as I have an earlier edition and loved them to their death. Sad because they were cute and the replacements are not.....but.......comfort > styling.... Show more

Wow
So I only run 11-13 miles a week which isn't a whole lot but I would get really bad shin splints. I was running in Nike Free 5.0 and it was absolutely horrible. I decided to get a bit more support and thought these would be a nice purchase and Wow! WasI right. These give the right support for my foot. I love them. I've had Asics before and I loved them and I've been trying to find shoes that were like them because the shoes that I had 10 years ago were absolutely perfect and I think I've found that stability and comfort in these shoes. Finally! Hopefully I don't have to take every other week off because of my shins.... Show more
