I've looked for running shoes, but as I am just a beginner yet, searched for a value for price. The other Asics trainers were a bit expensive for me, at least I still do not know what kind of shoe should match me - my weight, my foot type, etc. So I decided to begin with these - a great value for that price indeed. Maybe when I use this trainer up, I'll look for something better - Kanbarra, Kayano, 3030...
BTW, about sizing - I typically wear 9(EU 43). In the sizing chart for Asics, 9 is shown as equal to 44, and 9.5 = 44.5. I've ordered 9.5(44.5) and it fits me just perfect(a little more space in front of toe, but perfect in width). So, for EU people - disregard the EU equivalents here, use the standard UK-EU sizing (9=43.5, 9.5=44) And just used half size more than usual. Also, my old Adidas is 10=45 2/3 and is the same as the Asics(9.5) ...
