text: These may be decent running shoes for most people but not for me.  They wore out way too fast especially for such high priced shoes.  Asics customer service and warranty support is a joke.  I had my shoes for one year and was told they were manufactured two years ago so they are out of warranty!  Since when does it matter when they were manufactured?  I supplied pictures of the shoes and the Amazon receipt.  The sides of both shoes where my little toe is torn and has developed holes.  These shoes were not abused in any way.  If you don't mind purchasing expensive running shoes annually then these may be a good choice.  They were comfortable but I cannot justify the high price when they are made from shoddy materials.  I'll stick with Nike or just about any other brand.
