Used these as my go-to shoe to train for an ultrarun and eventually also ran the full ultra (101km along the French coastline with varying terrain: asphalt, gravel, loose rocks, …) with them. Very steady shoe, felt super comfortable throughout the full race. Wouter B · asics.com

The most comfortable road shoe I have ever worn. And the guide rail..... it's just a little lateral support. A whisper to your foot saying, "stay in the right position my friend." Like a few drops of maple syrup in an old fashioned drink. Just a little something to take it to the next level. altrarunning.com
