Heavy & Stiff Athletic Shoe
582725
They are a heavier and stiffer athletic shoe then I'm use to.  I ordered a 9 1/2 N and they are more like a B width.
There is plenty of room for the toes but a little too much room for me.  When I tie the shoe it bunches up in
front.  I still kept them as my orthotic insoles fit.  I will wear these when I do a lot of walking as maybe they
will soften up.

These shoes are a lot bigger and clunkier than they appear to be. They're heavy and not very flexible. In some ways, a sturdy shoe is nice, but I don't like these. They're too wide for me and a bit too long.

Did not like this shoe walking around the apartment nor when exercising at the gym.  Too snug around the front part of the foot.  The other ASICS style I bought previously is much better (GT2160).  This shoe is too stiff and tight and the heel didn't feel right either.  Returned it.

Shoe For well overall.  I always buy 9.5 Asics And hoped these would replace my Noosa 8s.  Unfortunately, the build near the ankle (outside) was too stiff (plastic?) and rubbed my outer ankle, which would have created a blister within a few miles --- so I opted to return.

Unfortunately, these were not the boots I was hoping for. They are very stiff and heavy - I am relatively fit and walk everywhere and still I found them tiring to lug about. I returned them before I have had a chance to try out the water- and winter-proofing and so I cannot comment on that.

Maddens are always true to size and this shoe is no exception. Just be warned, however, this is not leather so it's extremely stiff. In my case, it digs in under the ankles and lacerated my big toes just below the nails!  It's stylish and trendy but I regret paying full price for shoes this painful.

Sturdy shoe, but a bit heavy.  Tends to tire one out after an extended walk.

These shoes are not lightweight. Very heavy. Not in a durable way either. In a cumbersome way. Go for new balance. They'll last longer and wear lighter for the same price.

Loved the look of the shoe, but it was heavy and not very comfortable. Because the leather inside is a little coarse, it rubbed on my bunion and i had to return them.

Nice look but a very stiff shoe.  My heel would slip out but with inserts its better.  For me, the shoe runs large.

As others have mentioned this shoe is very well made.  A bit on the heavy side and it is quite stiff.  However, I think it will break in and become a very durable shoe.  Tread has good grip.

Fantastic indoor shoe but very stiff for a slipper.  The husband sometimes wears a 13 and sometimes a 12.  This was way too large on his long narrow feet.  He is used to taking up the extra width with an insert, but these were way too long as well.  Returning for a size 12 gore slipper.

These shoes looked good coming out fo the box, but I could not get my feet in my size 9s with any kind of socks - athletic or dress. The material is EXTREMELY stiff. I'm thinking they would've been softer after breaking them in, but considering I would probably need to exchange them for 9.5, maybe even 10... wasn't really worth the effort.

Too stiff.  After 2 hours my shins and knees start to hurt.  Wrong shoe for me.

This boots fits large, great cuality and looks but they are very heavy, stiff and hurts my feets. I wore them twice and I couldn't wait to take them off. I will wear them a few more time, if they don't soften up... they would be unwearable for me. 2  For the pain they caused my feet.

I purchased one size smaller based on reviews which was good because they do come pretty large.  That is not the reason for the 2 stars however.  The shoe was stiff as a board.  I literally could not bend or flex the shoe.  Someone had written that the toe was hard but the shoe I received was totally hard.  Returned them.

Good shoe. Not my favorite. It feels heavy because it is heavier than what I'm used to but I think that's the point.
