text: I have been wearing the Excel33 (1) for over 3 years and have had no complains (65inches, 167Ilbs).  I bought the the Excel33 (2) and I felt that there was not much support in the forefoot. It was lightweight but it did not provide the support that the Excel33(1) did.  So I figure it was time to update my Asics shore wardrobe and I decided to purchase the Excel33 (3).  At first glance, the shoe looks nice and breathable.  I put it on, the shoe felt flexible and fitted real nice.  So I decided to go on a 5K and quickly noticed the forefoot support was not as good as the Excel33 (1).  Ran them a couple of more times, and was not satisfied with the forefoot support, so now I use them for walking the dogs.  Now I have to find a retailer that still has the Excel33(1) for a fair price.<br /><br />Overall:  If you weight less than I do, then this shoe might be good for you.  I am going to stick with the Excel33(1).
