I've had the Asics Gel Foudation for many years. The 8's gave me blisters on both feet in the same spot...

Fell in love with this shoe and need to get another pair! I fought off injuries all year long, the most recent being pain in my achilles tendon that just wouldn't go away. With the Foundation 8, I'm back to running without pain for the first time in about 9 months. It did take 2 runs to "break them in a bit." The first 2 runs, the side rubbed a bit up along my ankle, but that isn't an issue anymore. Love the support they offer, and will definitely stick to this type of Asics shoe if it stays this comfortable.

After only 2 miles I had a severe blister on my left arch- will try another insole. Also caused pain on the inside of my ankles at the seam (I overpronate).

I had the foundation 7 and loved it. I purchased this one to replace and love it also. It has a lot of support as my feet are really flat.

Don't buy!
I love ASICS but these are not like the other versions. Terrible fit and almost too much support. I was using these for the gym and group excercise classes, I am an overpronater and need support and stablity in my shoes. Thought I was getting that with these but they are too uncomfortable to wear. Others at my club have had similiar experiences w/ the gel evolution and returned them - Beware. I wished I listened to the reviews here.

I will never buy these shoes again. Both of my arches were taken over by blisters. Massive, painful, deep blisters. I kept running in them thinking that once they were broken in, the blistering would go away. It didn't. I'm now wearing my old Brooks and will continue buying Brooks again. Even now, my arches are still healing. Ouch!

These shoes are pretty good- A solution for the people who really want to get these is- get insoles (I took some out of a pair of old sauconys) and problem solved. I would do this before even trying to run because for almost everyone it is a gauranteed blister that can easily be prevented and the rest of the shoe is worth it. I have falt feet, weak ankles and sensitive knees- this was not a problem in the shoes and I have done the NY marathon in them-

I hope they never stop making this shoe. I have never loved a shoe more than this one. I had severe plantar fasciitis last summer. I am not one to stop running due to injury (everyday!!) I decided to do some research and picked out these to switch to. After a week, the pain in my heel was almost gone and I could run happily again. I am scared to leave these in fear of the plantar fasciitis coming back. Never got any blisters, either.

I had the same blister problems with these shoes as well. I was able to keep them by buying a pair of superfeet insoles, but I am disappointed to have spent another $40 just for these to be wearable. This is my 3rd pair of foundations, so I hope in the next model, they resolve this issue.

I've been wearing the Gel-Foundation for eight years. It's an amazing shoe: light, supportive, and keeps the shinsplints away!

The shoe is very comfortable. I had pain in my feet and heels with my other running shoes. However, like most others, I am getting severe blisters on the arch of my right foot. I have been running in them for a little over a week. I took a couple day break and went back to my old shoe. Foot pain returned. I am going to try these for another week and see if the blisters stop. I hope so because this is the most expensive shoe I have ever bought

No problems with this shoe. It did take me a couple of weeks of wear outside of running to help break them in, but after that, they've been excellent.

I've worn several generations of the Foundation, but this one caused such serious blisters on my arches that I gave up after three runs.

These shoes are so wonderful. Look great, feel great. I had a tough time finding shoes that weren't the cause of injury and I love these so much I just ordered two more. No blister problems.

As other reviewers stated, this shoe caused blisters on my arches so much I had to take a break and go back to my old shoes. Thought they could be defective. After worn in, the shoe hasn't caused any problems.

Make sure you buy these a half size up like suggested. They run small.

I tried two pairs of these hoping that the problem with the first pair was due to a defect. Both pairs caused a blister on the arch of my right foot. I let the blister heal completely and then tried several different types of socks with them and still had blisters. The motion control was great for my plantar fasciitis, but I just can't wear them. Switched to Evolution 4 and am much more comfortable.

Love this shoe! I have plantar fascitis and my feet feel a lot better than they have in a long time since wearing these, about 2 months. They don't have the "stiff" feel that other MC shoes have, but still have great support. Plus they don't look ugly like the typical MC shoe. I've got a second pair of these on the way. They did give me a blister on the inner aspect of my feet the first couple of wears but that has resolved and no other problems since then. Great shoe!

i just got these yesterday, intended to do a 12km run as my first ever run in them. turned out to be a 7km run with a 5km run as the pain from the blisters on the inside of my arch overcame me! seems to be a common problem with this shoe. otherwise, very comfortable - very cushioned forefoot. come in various widths. eliminated pins/needles/shin splints.

I've never had such a great pair of shoes. I've run some of my best and hardest races in these. They're durable, comfortable, and very supportive. I did get a few blisters but thats because they were new.

Great support, helped prevent my knee pain, but it also gave me blisters in the inner sole after just a few miles! It gets better after some runs but the ineer sole is definitely not right.

I have been running in the Asics Gel Foundation shoe for years and have loved it. Unfortunately, this upgrade caused a blister on my foot only 1 mile in my first run in them!
