I have worn multiple pairs of Asics over the years to accommodate my wide feet, but this particular pair stands out as my favorite! I've had them for a little over a year now and have put them to the test with a variety of activities, from jogging and marathons to wearing them at the gym and even at work. But the real test came when I took them on a week-long trip to Alaska and they were the only shoes I had with me. I tried to find hiking boots while I was there, but I just couldn't find a good fit. Lucky for me, it was late summer so the weather wasn't too bad and I was able to take on the challenge of walking on glaciers and hiking to waterfalls with these babies! Even though the surfaces were wet and slippery, these shoes held their own and completely exceeded my expectations. I've been extremely impressed with their performance ever since.
