"I have ALWAYS purchased Asics for the past 10 years! The last couple pair I bought were the Asics Gel Phoenix, which have been discountinued & replaced with the Gel Exalt! The Exalts fit just like the Phoenix, and are cheaper! Love these shoes, they fit perfect! Plenty of room in the toes too! I always have to wear an orthotic in my Asics and they allow for plenty of room to add my orthotics! DSW is always wonderful! I'm a very happy customer!"
