ASICS GT-1000 13 Shoes Dark Blue - 40

I've always had good luck with ASIC shoes. Build quality, comfort, sizing, roominess have all been very good with ASICs. Some brands there are problems with sizing a bit too small, or cramped toe space. I do not have these problems with ASICs. The GT-1000 13 i very comfortable and supportive.

I also again asked if I could purchase another pair as a gift but with a discount, i.e., a certain percentage off. I was told again, very coldly, that the warranty was two days past coverage and they will not give me a discount. They were rude and unhelpful and I will not purchase another pair of these defective shoes!
