原文: (READ TILL THE END, AND YOU'LL SEE WHY I GAVE THEM 5 STARS).
I have been STRUGGLING to find a pair of ASICS. Ugh, not sure what happened, but I have always worn a 10 B (that's a 10 with medium width). All of a sudden, I started seeing reviews where people were saying the various models/li
nes they have always bought from ASICS were too small and too narrow. I tried a couple pair - my toes were SQUISHED, and I don't have particularly wide feet. Anytime I've ever tried to buy wide width shoes, they have always been monstrous on my feet, way too big, so I know it's not the size of my foot. It was the the new models/lines ASICS came out with. The reviews online backed this up. So I thought, eh, I'll try 10.5 B - maybe they're smaller over all and the 10.5 will give me some room. NOPE. The 10.5s were still too narrow and way too long.
I was convinced that, even if wides fit in my toe box, that they would be too wide on the rest of my foot. So I went on a search for a whole other brand of running shoes. I looked at Altras (too expensive - there is no reason I should I have to pay $120 for a pair of running shoes, I'm sorry, I am not a marathoner). I tried Saucony (which are known for having a wider toe box) and Reebok - both of them felt great in the store but hurt IMMENSELY after walking around in them throughout the day. I didn't do anything particularly harsh in the Sauconys - just went to work and then to a Pampered Chef party, but the bursitis in my right foot FLARED UP BIG TIME by the end of the day. I took them back to Academy and told them they really needed to give my money back, because that condition had not flared up in years till the day I wore those shoes.
Thankfully they took them back, and it was back to the drawing board.
Well, out of nothing more than sheer frustration, I sat down one day and ordered $750 worth of shoes on Amazon Prime (only from sellers who did free returns!) - it was several ASICS models/styles, and I ordered them in 10 D (which is wide width) and 10.5 D. I tried on every single pair - I'm talking the Gel Nimbus, Gel Venture, Gel Excite...I can't even remember what all I ordered, but my husband was freaking out a little bit, wanting to make sure I returned all the ones that wouldn't work.
I finally came to the Gel Cumulus 18. Somehow I ended up with a 10.5 D but not a 10 D. So I ordered yet ANOTHER pair of running shoes (my grand total is now well over $800), but finally....FINALLY...the shoes fit! Praise the Lamb, they fit! Ultimately, what I hadn't realized was that literally all I needed to do was order my regular size (10) but order them in wide (D) instead of medium (B). This solved the problem, and the bursitis flare up has gone away now that I've been wearing these running shoes the past two weeks. THIS IS THE REASON I'M GIVING THESE SHOES 5 STARS.
So if you have really narrow feet, the regular width (B) ASICS are probably fine for you. But if you have normal feet or normal with a little bit wider toe box, you will probably want to go with the wides. No guarantees on that, of course, but that's how it worked out for me. With a little bit more research, I did end up seeing another review or two where other people had come to that same conclusion.

(阅读完毕,您就会知道我为什么会给他们打五颗星)。
我一直想买一双ASICS。呃,不知道发生了什么,但是我一直穿着10 B(这是10码中等宽度)。突然之间,我看到有很多评论谈及不同型号的鞋子要么太小要么太窄。我的脚并不宽,但我试过的那双鞋子却要把我的脚趾压扁了。我也试过买宽一点的鞋子,但是穿在脚上太奇怪了,实在是太大了,所以我知道这不是正确的尺码。这是ASICS新的型号/线。大家都赞成这一点,所以我想,呃,我会尝试10.5 B,也许他们比较小,而且会留有一些空间。但是,10.5s还是太窄而且太长了。
我一直相信就算鞋的宽度能与脚趾相适,鞋子的其他部分还是会太大。所以我去找了别的牌子的跑鞋,我看了Altras(太贵了,我还要再付120美元才能买到这双跑鞋,算了吧,我可不是一名马拉松运动员),我试过Saucony(这个牌子以脚趾区设计得较宽而出名)和Reebok,在实体店里试穿的感觉还不错,但是一整天都穿着的话还是会吃力。我并没有穿着鞋子干了多大的事,只不过穿着去上班,然后去参加了 Pampered Chef 聚会,但是一天结束的时候,右脚就囊肿了。回了学校以后,我和卖家沟通,真的希望他们能退钱,因为过去这几年从来没有发生过这样的事情。
幸运的是,他们把鞋子收回了,并且重新设计。
嗯,太沮丧了,我坐了一天,在亚马逊Prime上订购了价值750美元的鞋子(只进行了卖家提供的免费退货!),这是ASICS的几款款式,我订购了10D (宽度)和10.5 D,每双我都试了,有Gel Nimbus,有Gel Venture,Gel Excite...我记不大清买过的所有鞋子了,但是我的丈夫想确定一下那些我退回的没用的鞋子有多少,结果他被结果震惊了...
我最后买了10.5D的Gel Cumulus 18,而没有买10D,而且我还买了另一双跑鞋,我已经花了800多美元买鞋子了...还好最后鞋子很合适!太合适了!最终我都没意识到,我只需要订购我一般穿的鞋码(10码),宽度买D而不是B就好了。这双鞋子没有产生不适,毛囊炎没有爆发,我已经穿了两周了。这就是我给这双鞋子打5颗星的原因。
所以如果你的脚很窄,那么ASICS的正常宽度(B)可能比较适合你。但是,如果你的脚正常或者脚背比正常的宽一点点,你可能会想要买宽一点的。当然这些都是我的个人情况,不能以偏概全。有了更多的研究,我终于看到其他人也得出同样的结论了。
