Comfortable and reliable - all you can really ask for. Though I’ll say the popularity has caused buying ASICS somewhat annoying because the shyts you want are always out of stock - New Balance doesn’t suffer the same availability issue at the same extent - also ASICS have become overpriced - the ticker price on ASICS kicks has been moving up, slowly, but steadily.

Funny enough these factors have made me buy Nike for my last two pairs - bought some Vomero 18s and V5 RNR recently

V5 RNR are some of the best shoes you can buy for under $100
Which V5 colorways you got, breh? :leon:

hows the arch support? i love my clarks but they hurt my back if i walk in em

as ugly as new balances are, a brand new pair is like walking on clouds :ahh:
got some Hoka Bondi 9s. My right heel got plantar fasciitis. It helps with that.

had to stop trying to look sweat wearing Js, Boosts, and Air Maxes (even though I just bought some 270s lol).

I always made fun of Hoka's as they look like geriatric shoes, but I've heard they are comfortable. As someone who has had plantar fasciitis a few times I get the need to go with support and comfort.

Still do Air Max, Dunks, and some J's, but leaning towards running shoes more and more as I get older.

These are super comfortable too.

I have the top 2 Asics that you posted, the Gel Lyte 3s are a little beat but the ConceptsxGel Lyte 5s are still in pristine condition, probably my favorite Asics collabs, shyts feel like slippers
