text: I love Asics shoes but these are not great. I got them for the gym.  I walk/run about 1.5 miles on the treadmill before lifting weights.  These shoes are not comfortable at all to run in.  I can barely reach 1.5 miles walking in them before my feet start hurting. But, they are great for generaly gym excersies and I like they are reinforced in the toe area compared to regular sneakers so you can do push-ups/planks with support in the toe area.<br />I wish they had a little more cushion in the sole for walking/running.
