Great pair for an active lifestyle!
Asics generally produces great shoes, and this pair is no exception. Fits well; after wearing them for about two months now, no noticeable discomfort (e.g. laces rubbing on tops of feet, tripping over toe box, Achilles rub) has been detected. They are relatively lightweight as well, which is great for the average workout, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend these shoes for seasoned runners. I have been running on both paved and gravel paths, and the shoes hold up well. However, the soles are a little thinner and harder than the "hardcore" runners' shoe brands such as Hoka, New Balance, or Sauconys. Therefore, if you're planning to consistently run for 10-mile stretches, I'd advise to look at other styles.Otherwise, I'm truly pleased with the quality, price, and fit of these shoes. Not being able to try them on before purchasing was a little different (I'd always been buying tennis shoes in-store), but these shoes are sturdy, comfortable, and stylish. Highly recommended for the active lifestyle; maybe not so much heavy runners, but they're great nonetheless!

Unbelievably Comfortable
I have been buying ASICS athletic shoes for over 20 years. I was so impressed by the 1st pair, mainly because of the Gel inserts. Over the years, they have continued to develop new materials and designs. They have also introduced so many new models, it's hard to keep track. The prices vary wildly, mainly because a lot of the shoes do not include the best of their materials or designs. If you are new to ASICS athletic shoes, dig through the details to ensure you're looking at a model that incorporates all of the best features. Obviously, the best ones come at a premium price.So, I had a pair of ASICS "work" shoes that were starting to wear-out. They were made to have a low-key appearance, that didn't draw attention to the fact that they were athletic shoes. Now I find out that ASICS discontinued the model. After some searching, I found these - Gel Quantum 180 4 Men's Running Shoe. They have all the best materials and design (including Gel inserts, front and rear). They are also black on black, which doesn't draw attention to them.The 1st pair I ordered were too small, which really surprised me. I went up one size, and they fit great. They are amazingly comfortable - like walking on a cloud. You have to experience them for yourself...

Almost Perfect
The all white 180 4 is a great looking shoe and easy to wear all day. They are much more comfortable than the 180 3s to me. I have very flat feet and the 3s hurt after 30 mins. The 4s I can wear all day and have no pain. They do fit bigger then the 3s though. I usually wear a 10.5 or 28.25 cm which these claim to be but they are a half size maybe a full size longer; measuring around 29 cm. Other than that, I would recommend anyone to buy some, especially at Amazon’s pricing and customer service. Customer service was awesome and easy to deal with which is why I gave it 5 stars instead of 4!

Comfortable, but kinda plasticy
When I first pulled out these shows I was worried they wouldn't be comfortable. The shoes have a hard plastic like shell that doesn't seem very forgiving, I even put them on and thought this won't work. Although, I'm happy I decided to stick with it and wear them while walking the dog. These shoes are light, comfortable, and durable. They are now my most worn shoe, be it to the grocery store or walking the dog. I highly suggest these shoes, but keep in mind that they feel like plastic upon first inspection.

Sharp, light, and comfortable!
Aloha All! I ordered this pair of ASICS Gel quantum a few days ago because part of my physical therapy for my knee was to start jogging again. I havent jogged for over 8 years since my other knee surgery (due to one of my rescue pups taking out my meniscus and mcl, due to another dog not being on leash during a jog). Anyway I loved ASICS due to them being the only band with arch support that fit me, so when I saw these I was like, 'Hey those look good!' and purchased them off the name that I knew so well!Then I read the reviews on how a lot of runners found the back high and rubbing their ankles and achilles tendon raw and to the point of bleeding! I thought, 'oh crap I just wasted money!'So i wore them today for my PT being of 40 minutes recumbent bike, 15 minutes elliptical, AND for the first time in 8 years...my first jog (30 seconds jog, 30 seconds walk, and repeat for about 2 miles) and I have to say these shoes did not disappoint!! No heel, ankle, achilles tendon soreness whatsoever!!The shoe looks great, is light, the backing seems lower than in the pictures and didn't rub my Achilles at all. Now I know everyone's different so it may not be the same for all (I have skinny to normal ankles). If thinking outside the box, it may be my Bombas socks, they have a round cushioned ridge on the back by the achilles and that may have helped, anyway the shies works for me!! Hope they work as well for you! Aloha!!

Great shoes
I am not a runner or anything, I just bought these because I wanted a comfortable pair of shoes and I liked the style.They arrived two days ago and I wore them for an entire day yesterday. I love them. Fit well, true to size, very comfortable, and seem to be made well. Very happy with them.
