This the second pair of the same style, reordered it because I was
most satisfied with the feel of the shoe. I have ordered more than
once from online and it is quick and easy, and best of all no sales
tax and no wasted gas getting to a store that has such products at
a favorable price.

If your a big guy that has to get up every morning for PT this is what you need. I got 3 pairs that I use. One for pick-up games. The other two I rotate for PT and Running.

If you get shin splints these shoes help.

Actually made me not hate running. I still don't like it. . . But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Best Bargain. Get them now while you still can. They quit making them.

Go Rebs!

This the first shoe I have ever rated. I go through shoes at a rate of a pare every two months.[or less] This shoe is by far dollar of dollar the best. I have two more new pair in boxes on hand as I write this. Yes there are more expensive and I can say they are good also, but if you run through shoes then this your model.

I love this shoe, but must change them out at 3 months or 120 miles whichever comes first. In Asics defense, I haven't found any that last longer for my size (245 lbs). Great traction, comfort, breathability, and wear. I run 12-20 miles per week, and many times the shoe still looks brand new when it's time to change them out. I've been buying the 1100 series shoe for nearly 4 years now though, and have never regretted it.

Very comfortable shoe and incredibly priced for what you get. Normally can buy 12 M but with this shoe had to go to 12.5 M. Should be right on at half-size larger than your normal. Great for street, treadmill and trail running. Also pretty cool for knocking around in, too.

What I like about the Asics that I bought is that on the bottom of the foot where you should run, like on your toes, it has excellent padding which my older shoes did have but wore down quickly. These shoes have excellent traction and comfort.

I purhcased these running shoes for my 12 year old son. We've been looking for the past couple of months for a size 7 1/2 ASICS running shoe and no one would have a pair. It seemed that the stores would only receive just a few pairs and they would be sold out of 7 1/2. A friend told me about Onlineshoes.com and I've just recently bought my son two different style of ASIC running shoes in a size 7 1/2 and he thinks they're stylish, comfortable, and most of all they fit true to size.

The 1120?s are at least as good or better then the 1220?s. Crushing has held up far better then expected. I have told friends about this shoe. I have two pairs in boxes yet warn. OH I will get to them. Odd getting the same shoe all the time. I guess ?if the shoe fits then we must acquire?...

I've been an avid walker for 30 years and I've tried many brands of shoes, both running and walking. The Gel 1120 is the best walking shoe that I've ever had. I walk 8 miles daily on a concrete surface and my shoes take the beating and NOT my feet.

At 6'5", 245 lbs, running shoes that stand up to 12-20 miles per week without the padding breaking down very quickly are hard to come by. This line of Asics shoes has been great. I get 3-4 months out of them before they lose that "new shoe" padded feel. They still look great even at that point however, and I can wear them casually for much longer.

I'm 6'5", 245 lbs, with size 14s. I run 12-20 miles per week on pavement and trails, and this shoe performs exceptionally. The only knock I could give them is that the padding doesn't last much past 3-4 months for me at that tempo. Having said that, this is the best line of shoes I have found, and even at 3 months, they hold up better and longer than any other running shoe that I've tried.
