I own a pair of Asics Equation 2's and they are holding up quite well with approximately 350 miles on them. Since I am happy with running in the "2's" I decided to buy a pair of Equation 4's to replace them. So far I am quite disappointed with these shoes. After walking in them for a week (to break them in) I decided to go out for a short run. The run went well, but the day after my right ankle (which I broke quite a few years ago) was extremely sore. The midsoles in these shoes are hard as a rock and the gel pad in the heel was hardly noticeable. I am wearing them casually and have noticed some "give" in the midsoles. Hopefully they will break in at some point so I can run in them. In the meantime, I threw caution to the wind and purchased the Asics Nimbus 12's for 70 bucks. Money well spent. The cushioning in these shoes are awesome, but I will discuss that in a different review. In sum, watch out for the Equation 4's.

This shoe is amazing. Very comfortable. The gel works very well. Also the meshing keeps your feet dry all the time. I would definitely recommend this shoe.
One piece of advice though, get half or one size above your actual shoe size. It'll be perfect then

Honest reviews on ASICS Men's GEL-Equation 4 Running Shoe
I've run in many pairs of ASICS for 20 years. Size 7 always fits right and I have always been satisfied. I had three pairs of Equations 2's over the last four years, and they were great. 400+ miles in the last pair. The Equation 4's were the exception. The fit was good as usual, but something was different, maybe not as much support. I started getting pains in my left shin, but didn't know it was the shoes at first. It got worse, and after a couple weeks and a couple long runs, it was really painful. I switched to other shoes, and the pain went away in a week, so I think it was the shoes. The ones I switched to included a new pair of ASICS Fluent 3's, and those were fine.

I ordered the Asic's Gel Equation 4 and the Saucony Men's Grid Ignition 2 and found the Saucony far more comfortable being much softer under foot with a more enveloping fit without feeling snug. I will say the Asics are true to size, but other than that these don't have much going for them as they are too roomy around the toes and too firm all the way from the big toe to the heel. Not recommended.
