5.0 out of 5 stars. Nice cross trainingVerified Buyer Reviewed by Mr Prytania from Chicago on Monday, July 7, 2014These are pretty good cross trainers. I tested them out in a step class and a cardio weights class and they worked well. There is a lot of shoe there since I'm used to mimimal shoes. It is summer when I picked them up and will wear them as it gets cooler so I don't know about durability yet.
Fit is typical of Asics. No surprises and true to size.
Be warned they have a strong "bumble bee" look to them. I thought it was nothing until I saw my shoes in the mirror in class. Loud. I guess that is why they are on sale. I'll pocket the savings thank you.
