text: Nice slippers.  Just didn't feel right when I tried them on.  My big toes turn up slightly and were hitting the toe box.  These shoes have little structure, which makes them lightweight, but I'm used to a little more shoe.  Didn't seem to have as soft a cushion as my other Asics gel Phoenix (can't find anymore, may have been made for a particular retailer).  I did not try a run in these, so possibly prejudged.  I also prefer a sole that's wider in the forefoot and heel than these.  Returned for refund - still shopping.  (I'm 5'10&#34;, 145 lb, run 12-16 mi/wk at an 8:30 to 9:00 min. pace. Hey, I'm old -  65.) Update:  Purchased Brooks Launch 2 shoes and really like them, except for whimpy laces.  Very comfortable.
