Great stabilitiy shoe. I like trying new shoes and decided to be a different kind after putting 400+ miles on a pair of GEII's. Big mistake. ITB started to get irritated again. Went back to a new pair of these and bam! Back to normal again. Love this shoe!

Every bit as good as the Empire I. I have had fewer injuries running in the empire series than any other shoe. The heel cup fit is excellent. If you are medium build with low-ish arches there is no better road shoe.

I'm a runner of 32 years experience, 6', 155lbs. and use rigid orthotics. The Empire II has provided the finest supportive cushioning I've ever experienced with my orthotics. It has allowed me to expand my long mileage without any of the injury potential of softer shoes or aches of stiffer shoes. Th...

Bought this shoe based on research recommendation. To date, since I bought this shoe, Two months now, this has been one of my better owned shoes. I use shoe for mixture of walking/slow running/ Treadmill. 6'0 300lbs, so I recommend shoes for heavier guys.

worse Asics shoe I ever bought in the past 20 yrs. It is far to stiff and straight laced. Only attribute is its light weight.
