Asics Men's Gel-craze Tr 3 Cross-trainer Shoe

I bought these as my "wear every day" shoes along with a pair of Nimbus-17 for running. I walk a couple miles to and from work in them every day and have had no issues with them. They are very comfortable for extended wear. Not to mention they are very nice looking compared to my previous shoes (looking at you black and gold kayano-20) which desperately needed replacement. I've gotten several complements on these shoes whereas I got a lot of "WHAT ARE THOSE?" comments on my raggety Kayanos (i work with 5th graders and they think that meme is still funny and relevant). I also do some light weight lifting in them and they seem plenty stable although i don't use much weight, just a lot of reps which they are fine for. The arches could be a little higher but i have pretty high arches so im sure they will be fine for most normal feet.Update: I have now been through two pairs of these shoes. The first pair I got September 12 of 2016. I then bought the second pair(Feb 2, 2017) after I wore the first into the ground to the point I couldn't wear them anymore. So I got about 4 good months out of the first pair before they needed replacement. The current pair have been used almost daily for at least 3 miles every week day (most days more than 3 I'd guess) it's now mid May and sadly they are nearing their end. I think I could squeeze the rest of the month out of them but I might end up with blisters. Unfortunately Asics is replacing them with the IMO inferior tr4 design and these are being fazed out. They no longer have my preferred color (gray/orange) in my size anymore and I believe the price has gone up. I think it used to be around $40 and now it's at $60ish. Not sure what I'm going to replace them with now but I'm a little upset because I liked these shoes a lot. And for me $40 every couple months was very manageable. I can't really afford to buy more expensive shoes that I'm gonna wear out every 4 months or so. Not to mention that these were nice and light which I'm for some reason having a hard time finding these days. It's like all the light men's shoes that fit me vanished into thin air. Went to Academy Sports a while back and all the women's shoes where nice, light, and sleek while all the men's shoes are freaking boat anchors. Rediculous. Either way still love these shoes. Wish I could get more like I had but I might have to just get the red ones. I need something and at least I can still get those for now. Even if they are more expensive than before.

I love the way these shoes look. They are the best looking Asics I have ever owned. I have only ever bought running style shoes from Asics, but I decided to try trainers for the first time. Compared to running shoes, these have noticibly less cushioning. I have flat and wide feet. The width inside was a little narrow at first, but after a few weeks they felt fine after breaking in. Also I usually get size 12 in Asics. I decided to get a half size bigger after reading other reviews. They fit perfect, so yes I recommend getting a half size bigger if you have wide feet.I am on my feet at work at all times walking around constantly. I have had these shoes for about 3 months, and the exterior is holding up perfectly. On the interior however, the fabric on the walls of the shoes has started to rip in a few different places. This could be because I have extra cushioning inserts that may be rubbing against the fabric. Also after a few weeks the shoe started to make a weird noticeable squeeking noise when I walked. It has mostly gone away after more use.Overall I love the design and look of these shoes. I got the grey and orange ones. I wish they had as much cushioning as their running shoes, but for the price I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

I love Asics and I love this particular line of Asics - the Gel Craze. But these shoes just didn't fit my husband. We purchased both the 9.5 and the 10.0 (He is a 9.5) and neither fit. The 9.5 ones were just too short and thin. The 10's fit better but the toe box was very narrow. I do think Asics tend towards the narrow side but this was TOO narrow. My husband doesn't have fat feet - just normal feet. There was also a weird seam that bothered him on both pair of shoes towards the end of the tongue of the shoe. I checked and that seam is on every pair of Asics I own. I'm not sure why that bothered him now because it has never bothered me.That being said, the Gel Craze TR 3 is a beautiful sneaker and seemed to be very well made. I just wish it was wider in the toe area.I did buy the womans version of this shoe. It IS narrow in the toe area and took a little breaking in but I do love the shoe.

I do a lot of cardio-type workouts like hiit, plyometrics, boot camp, T25, P90X, etc... I wanted a training shoe that provides support if I'm jumping side-to-side while also absorbing impact if i'm jumping up and down. Why is it so hard to find a shoe with a squishy foam sole and a wide base of support without a lot of height? So many shoes listed as "cross-trainers" seem to have a wedge-shaped pedestal sole that makes my ankles feel shaky during lateral movements. Others that are wider and lower to the ground have a sole made out of hardened rubber and don't provide shock absorption. These have the nice soft molded foam without being excessively high off the ground. They are lightweight, they fit well, plenty of traction on a hardwood floor, and they look great!

I saw the comments and ordered a half size up. They fit with thin socks. They feel a tad narrow as well.These feel supportive and well cushioned. Normally I replace the stock insoles but I didn't need to do that. It would take me awhile to trust them to work for aggressive action sports like tennis or volleyball. I would use these for any indoor workout.This pair has been returned a few times. I'm doing the same. I will look for them locally. Maybe they have wider widths available.

I have been an ASICS fan for 20 or so years now. The fit is as expected for ASICS, and these shoes are very light, and breathable! The looks of these shoes are the best in years for an ASICS shoe, in my opinion of course. Good heal support, but these shoes could use a little more arch support, and a little more cushioning in the forefoot. If not for the small issues I have listed, these shoes would be a 5 star shoe.
