Does not work with orthotics. This is a nice shoe, but be warned that it doesn't really work with orthotics. The first problem is that the insole is glued in, and it's extremely difficult to tear out. So if you intend on replacing the insoles with your own insoles or orthotics, think about getting a different shoe. Even if you manage to get the insole out (which I did, after much difficulty) it still doesn't work with orthotics because orthotics tend to lift your foot higher than regular insoles, and there isn't enough room in this shoe for that.
This is my first pair of Serrano's by Asics. I own several pairs of the Ultimate 81's and a pair of Mexico 66's by Asics, and the Serrano is my favourite of all Asics' low profile shoes. The Serrano has a cushy sole, super light weight, and flexibility unmatched. Another thing I love about the Serrano is that it's the one shoe style by Asics that doesn't make my feet feel too hot. The mesh on the sides and top is breathable and airy. All I hope for are more colors. Please don't discontinue this Asics model! I love the yellow/black and the charcoal gray. Looking into buying black/white/yellow also.
Initially, I was pleased with these shoes: they look good and they have a bit of cushion. Yet they did not hold up to walking around London for a week - my feet hurt enough to buy insoles at the nearest drugstore. So I wouldn't recommend them if you actually walk more then a mile per day. 1 year after buying them, they haven't held up very well. The leather toe cap has started peeling away, with loose threads on the front of both shoes. Since these are mostly mesh and suede, it's difficult to get them looking new again. I don't like to write a negative review. They look great when you first get them, but they're just not made to last.
