I bought this in the chocolate/champagne color although the champagne trim looks more like silver. It's a striking color combination.I purchased a Saucony walking shoe last month but it's leather and presses right under the bone below the big toe of my left foot. Because these had so much mesh, I thought it would work better for me. I bought these in my regular 7.5M size, given the reviews of other ASICS athletic shoes but they don't feel wide enough. I used them this afternoon to walk my dog and by the end of a short 25 minute walk, I had red spots on both sides of my feet. Since our walks normally average 45 minutes, I can only use these for occasions where I will be walking very short distances or I know I will develop blisters. Hopefully with all the mesh, the shoe will eventually stretch out and they'll be more comfortable to use.
I'm giving it 3 stars, more for the appearance than for their utility as walking shoes.

Because I wear walking shoes most of the time, I look for different colors and styles to match my clothes. This shoe (penguin/silver/coral) caught my eye because it would look great with an outfit I'd planned on wearing to Disneyland. I ordered my usual street shoe size of 7M because my feet are shallow/bony and I prefer to wear thin cotton socks. They felt great from the first time I put them on and it's obvious they'll need no breaking in. There's room for my over-the-counter arch supports and the bunion on my larger foot is comfortably accommodated by the mesh fabric. The coral color seems more like a soft orange (to me). They match my orange clothes better than my coral ones.After Disneyland:
These shoes are less supportive than my other walking shoes, which is fine most of the time since I walk almost exclusively on level ground. On the inclined paved areas of Disneyland, I felt the my foot moving in the shoe more than I would prefer. I wore them 1 of the 4 days and did not have this problem on the other 3 days when I wore my New Balance 760 walking or Merrell CTR Cruise shoes.
I also bought a pair of these shoes for my daughter who wore them on 2 days of the Disneyland trip. She got a small blister (not too annoying) on the underside of the middle toes on both feet, so obviously these shoes don't fit her as well as they do me. She is usually very easy to fit in all shoes so I was surprised, and a little disappointed.
