I hit a double whammy this week when 2 pairs of 8W shoes came in quickly and they were both super comfy. The Asics Gel-105, in pink metallic, was one pair. I have been having a hard time finding a pair of good shoes to walk/run in that don't hurt my little toes. My little toes can fan out here because the way the shoe is made, the toe touches the fabric not the seam. I tried a pair of NB, but just did not work. My little toes were killing me being pinned in by a hard seam. The cushioning is great, I feel steady on my feet and they are lightweight as well. So my feet will be giving these shoes 5 stars with an extra thank you from 2 of the littlest piggies. The other shoes were Rieker in a great pewter color that will go with everything. I will post a review for these as well. I am a teacher getting ready for the school year and these shoes will be my favorites for the fall, I am sure.

EXCELLENT FOR FOOT PROBLEMS!!! I was recently told I have plantar fasciitis (the beginning of heel spurs). It is so very painful and has really altered my entire life. I cannot walk or stand for very long. This has been more difficult on my youngest son who is 4. I cannot tell you how desperate I was to stop the pain. I read up on my condition and it said that I needed to find a shoe with good support and good arch support to reverse the condition and to alleviate the pain. I also needed a shoe with wide width. I found this shoe here on Zappos and when I got them I tried them on and immediately felt better. I can now walk more and am not limping my mid day. I have to wear these everyday and I don't mind because these shoes are cute and comfy!

Great shoe - I have never been a runner, but I have taken it up to get rid of weight after having a baby. I have flat feet, and opted for these as a low priced stability running shoe-and in wide sizes no less! I have run every day this week with no pain. Usually by this point, my right hip would be hurting so that I could barely walk. I highly recommend this shoe for joggers with flat feet.

I love these sneakers. I have knee problems and I slightly over pronate. I've always worn New Balance, but recently I started running again seriously and the NB were just not cutting it. These are really a huge improvement and I adore how light-weight they are. I'm an Adidas fan also, but a pair I was interested in just felt too heavy. Admittedly I don't love the minty color, but whatever, they serve the purpose I aimed for.

I bought the Asics Gel 105 in silver and pink. This is a great shoe. Like walking on cotton balls. I have had foot surgery and it is hard now to find shoes that fit. Zappos is so good to take back the shoes and you can not beat the service. Got them the next day. You will love these shoes, just take it from a shoe junkie. They felt true so size.

Great for runners - I love these shoes! I am a pretty serious 4 - 5 x's per week runner and have done a few 5k's. These sneakers are light and comfortable with lots of padding and support. They look feminine too, with little "girlie" details. I wear an 11 and they fit perfectly. No size up or down needed for me. Have fun girls and run!!

Love the shoes. They are exactly what I want. However it is true that color does make a difference in size. The Black and Pink ones fit GREAT. But the Mint and White ones I had to send back, they did not fit right at all. They were same size same width same style, odd.

Great shoes - I found these shoes when I visited a friend in Texas last year and they were so comfortable that I had to get another pair. I thank you for sending them so quickly. I am a cashier and I am on my feet for 8 hours a day. Thank you!

Great shoe even for non-runners - I love these shoes! I am not a runner, but I am a nurse and these are by far the most comfortable shoes to wear when I'm on my feet for 12+ hours! I wish Zappos had them in more colors!

For over pronators only! I got this shoe in pink and black because I thought it was cute. I do not over pronate at all, but I was not quite sure what that was and I thought the shoe looked normal so I figured I would try it anyway. At first they were comfortable, but after a while I could feel a lot more pressure than I needed on the outer part of my feet. The soles have extra support for the arch, not on the inside of the shoe but actually in the sole. Great for over pronators but not so great for us normies. The shoes were of great quality, very comfy on the inside, not crazy seams, just not for my feet.

I had this shoe in blue looks nice but I recieved a fibular stress fracture while running in it. I have average arches and have a neutral slightly over pronated stride. I'm not positive if this was the reason for the fracture but it could have played a part.
