I wore Asics exclusively for about 15 years, then about three years ago I started getting less and less life out of each pair. Seams popping, holes in the mesh above my toes, and the structure breaking down after about three months (I used to get six months out of a pair). New $100 shoes every three months wasn't going to happen, I switched to Brooks Adrenalines and have been really happy with them. Not sure what's up with Asics anymore.
