I want to buy them online.





All answers are most appreciated.

Are Asics running shoes generally a good fit, or do you recommend buying a size larger / smaller?
Well go ahead and buy them online. I would recommend getting them 3 sizes too small and choping the toes out, that way you know they will be a tight fit but not too short.





Or you could look at it a bit sensibly - go to a larger sports shop where they have several shoes to try. Try a few pairs on and see which size and make fits you best. You shouldnt choose running shoes for the make - choose the ones that fit you best, have the correct support for your feet, good cushioning... So try them out before you order them online.








Of course, I am not saying that buying runnign shoes online is a good thing to do after spending a shop workers time trying their trainers on, but thats a matter for your concience...
Reply:I have a pair of Asics and they are just a lil too big for me, but stay on. If I slam my foot, I can feel my foot slide a little bit, and i got them my normal shoe size. So try your normal size or 1/2 a size smaller.


Or just go to a store =]
Reply:You really need to try a pair on, then order or buy a half size larger. Your feet will swell when you run and the extra half size leaves enough room. If you run in shoes that fit exactly, you run the risk of having black or missing toenails.
Reply:Better to try before you buy.

Buy your first pair from a retailer and get them properly fitted.

Reply:I will recommend a size larger because i bought my normal size and they hurt my feet so i went back to the shop and the guy told me i have to take one size larger.so i did and i haven't had any problems since that.
Reply:They can be a bit narrow but great quality. I'd always try a shoe first if its for athletics, I know you gotta pay a bit more buts its worth lookin after your feet.
Reply:think it depends what shape your feet are, but in my case, they fit snug, if anything i would go same or slightly bigger tho, NOT a size smaller.
Reply:I have always bought a half size bigger for my running shoe. They do not feel big, they are more comfortable for me. If you know which shoe you want to purchase on-line, you should go to a sports store first and try them on. That way you will know for sure which shoe size to get.





Good luck and happy running!
Reply:buy them 1/2 a size bigger. I just bought a pair. I recommend buying a pair of Gel Asics.
Reply:I think they are fabulous. Try before you buy, but I would recommend a size up. I have wide feet and they are great for me.
Reply:Go to a really good specialty running store where they will spend time with you and fit you properly. I wear and LOVE Asics and yes, I wear 1/2 size larger then my regular shoes.
Reply:My mum ran the new york marthan in them and said they fitted prefectly. She bought a 5 and ran for ages in it, but it started to hurt her toes, apparently they were too small, even though they felt Ok, so she bought a 6 and said they were a good fit.


If you are running seriously I suggest you try them on :]
