text: The first pair that arrived had a crease in the insert right at the ball of the foot and is was very noticeable when wearing the shoes. Thought it was a fluke, so I exchanged them. Next pair did the exact same thing! Being returned again. Never felt anything like this is a shoe before. If i swapped out the insert with an insert from a current pair of shoes, they are fine. Putting the new insert into an old pair of shoes and I felt the crease. Really strange. Just ordered another pair directly from Asics to see if I can get a pair from a different batch.
