ASICS Classic CT is easy to put on and off, based on the reviews. But the downside is the synthetic upper that needs breaking in. The kick is “a touch stiff,” noted a sneakerhead. The problem is that the synthetic leather is not supple, explained one tester. “They still bother the tops of the feet where toes bend with every step,” they further reported. Additionally, the upper is not breathable. “They are made of plastic, and have no ventilation holes,” complained a sneakerhead.

But the good thing is they break in fast, as noted by many testers. Plus, the upper is durable. One tester noted that they have been using the kicks for a year and they are still comfortable and durable. “As for the texture, it doesn't feel cheap like the one pictured,” a reviewer remarked. “

According to another sneakerhead, the kick also “feels lighter than it looks.”

Many testers agreed that with a price tag of $65, ASICS Classic CT is a steal. In comparison, the average price of ASICS low-tops is $112. With the classic silhouette of the kicks, they don’t look cheap, according to the reviews. “It has been worth every penny,” said one user. Here are other reasons to love the kicks:

  • “Love how these look with jeans and casual outfits.”
