ASICS Gel-Cumlus 27 Shoes
I found the shoes to be comfortable and light weight. I have a wide foot, and the wide shoe fit me perfectly. I have only recently received them, so I am not yet able to comment on durability and wear, but by previous experience with ASICS shoes has been good.

Great shoe for the seniors!
As a 70 year young senior, it’s been a long time since I switched from my Hoka’s! Extremely comfortable, great support in the arch, fit/size true. Several compliments about the color(s) too! Caught them on sale, which is what I needed on a fixed income.
