I have always been tantalized by the lore that because Nike is #1 in athletic wear that I should not pay attention to any other company , but one of my son's track coach mentioned this company to me. We tried it out and was happy with choosing the right ASICS sneaker that is going to fit my son's needs. This has worked out great, my son uses this for middle school track, he loves it, he chose the style and color.

Based on his success, I am now on the look out for an equivalent sneaker in company that will fit my needs in an athletic type forum.

Below defines my opinionated star ratings:

One (1) star = the product grossly under delivers to the point the it was a waste of time/energy and/or this was the lowest rating allowed.

Two (2) stars = the product poorly represented what is was designed for even though it works (i.e. quality, stability, below par when comparing to competition). (and the manufacturer should go back to the drawing board).

Three (3) stars = the product worked (in the middle), but never met my standards overall, but the functionality was simply okay.

Four (4) stars = the product is good and will satisfy most that use it, regardless if there is that one nagging thing prevented it from being the best

Five (5) stars = the product is the all-star/gold medal/excellent category and ether surprised me that it worked so well or it did exactly what was promised by the manufacturer.

very comfortable

I was blown away by the quality of these shoes. I will be ordering more.
