4.5 stars out of 100+ reviews on REI, feel free to read here https://www.rei.com/product/228361/asics-novablast-4-road-running-shoes-womens Great shoe for runners. Responsive cushioning with an energized feel underfoot. Gusseted tongue wing construction in the uppers helps improve the midfoot fit and reduces tongue movement No box. Worn only 2-3 times. These are very much LIKE NEW. Concluded they’re a smidge too big for me on the one foot, and no longer able to return. Bummer about the fit because I could tell immediately these were going to improve my running comfort and performance.
