Most ASICS lifestyle sneakers fit true to size. Some models, like the Gel-NYC, can feel a little snug in the toe, so wide-footed customers may want half a size up. Each model's page has more detail.
ASICS comes from the Latin phrase anima sana in corpore sano, meaning a sound mind in a sound body. The company began in Kobe, Japan in 1949 as Onitsuka.
GEL is ASICS' cushioning technology, placed in the heel and often the forefoot to absorb impact. It is why retro ASICS runners feel so comfortable for all-day wear.
