    I knew they looked pretty good on my phone when I ordered them but, when they arrived it was a whole other story. They were one of the gifts for my 90 year old mom for Mother's Day, who after seeing my Asics wanted a pair, so I surprised her with these and she freaked with all the vibrant colors popping from this shoe lol. They really helped to make her day and she loved sporting around in then with her Coach bag I got her as well. She's not the typical 90 year old, my mama is fly lol...Heads up tho, they run small so get them a size larger than you normally wear. I had to do this for myself and mom when purchasing these Asics...I paid attention to other reviews. Otherwise great shoes, just purchased white on white!!!

    I usually buy another name brand, but these were a great price. They seem like sturdy shoes, the arch isn't as supportive as I like, but ok. I wear a 5.5 in womens shoes, but usually get a 6 in athletic shoes, these are a looser fit, so I wish I had ordered a 5.5, but I can wear a heavier sock with these. I use them for walking, I would not wear them to run in. Color is great though.
