text: The sea foam green and periwinkle look a little more grandma-esque in person than I expected. And the fit is tighter than most athletic shoes that I have tried, even other asics, particularly in the width. I ordered 1/2 size up and still my toes occasionally go numb halfway through my workout even when I take pains to lace the shoes loosely. The mesh may stretch a bit over time, I am hopeful. Otherwise, pretty good shoes- did not require any &#34;breaking in&#34;- fit comfortably right out of the box without any rubbing or blistering spots. The cushioning support is really amazing. Just looking at this shoe from the outside, you can see that they were designed with overpronation/supination in mind.
