I have been an ASICS fan for years , but the last pair I purchased was a huge letdown. Within just a few months of light use, the soles started to wear out and stitching came apart. For the price I paid I expect much more better quality. These shoes use to last me a year or more. But it seems like the quality has really go downhill. The fit is way off too tight in the toe box, and the arch support feels like its in the wrong place. After a short run I ended up having blisters on both feet. I have never this issue with the other brand but Im very disappointed with the Asics I dont know what happened with their quality. Asics has really let their quality control slip. For such a reputable brand, this is unacceptable. I would not be recommending these to anyone.
