text: I bought these from Dick's sporting goods and my dad has the same pair, I am a size 8, he is a size 11,5. The good thing is, on the asics website, there is an accurate size chart, I needed a new pair of workout shoes and these are great for all day (I will can also wear them to school, they are very versatile), and they provide good support. My dad wears his shoes out easily and needs new shoes every six to ten months. Mine will probably last longer, as I mostly use them for workouts. (I wore my last pair of asics for three years, mostly because I didn't want to spend another $60 on shoes) and I usualy wear a heel cup with my shoes, but do not need to with these. Perfect for either gender, nice color scheme and very worth the money. But they are black so they do get dusty, I would recommend spraying the with Scotch outdoors spray and letting them dry overnight before use, to make them last.
