Have purchased this brand before from Kohls store and thought I would try getting them through the mail. Not exactly the same style I’ve had in the past, but I like them.
Rating: 4 / 5
I have wider then normal feet so was a little worried about the fit, but they fit great. I also run on the treadmill a lot (3+ miles a couple times a week) and they haven’t loss their comfort yet.

I have put off exercising for years for two reasons: my schedule (mom of two and at-home worker) and my feet size. Now, it might seem like a lazy excuse but to any woman who wears a size 12 shoe, it’s incredibly difficult to find a pair of running shoes that don’t make your feet look like giant skis. The last time I bought running shoes was at least 7 years ago and that might have been the last year I wore them.
I first found these shoes at Kohls, where they were much cheaper ($34.99) but only went up to size 11. Being able to try them on made all the difference but I knew I needed a larger size. I have been so pleased with the shoe: perfect for the gym, with just the right amount of cushioning. There is also more breathing room in the toe space without looking bulky. The colors and design are simple but feminine, assuring me that I don’t look man-ish, ha! I have only New Balance to compare and these earn several better reviews, from my experience. Much more comfort, better appearance, and lighter weight.
I am NOT a runner – I walk on the treadmill, and mostly bike so I cannot review these from a runner’s perspective. But, I can tell you that I wear these all the time now, not just while working out. In fact, I’ve been wearing them all day running errands. I am one very happy customer.

I bought these after trying to run in new balance and nikes. I didn’t want to spend a lot and these shoes are worth the money. I’ve ran in them a lot and have been great, my knee stopped hurting like it did when I ran in other shoes. They have way more cushioning and these are a base model asics! However they are not as refined and stylish as the upper models they are heavier and seem a little chunky ( I wear a 9.5!!) But i think i’ll be running in asics from here on out and now i’m looking into cumulus and nimbus!!
