ASICS Men's GT-2000 12 Running Shoe

At one point in my life, I ran track and cross-country. Sometimes logging 50 to 70 miles a week running in every conceivable surface and environment you can think of. I thought I knew what a perfect shoe was. But that was years ago, and shoe technology has taken some small steps and a lot of giant leaps,(more than our now broken space program at least), since then.This twelfth edition Gt-2000 GTX takes the lessons learned from Asics running engineers, and applies them beautifully. With actual soul in the sole, I could swear they were purpose built for my feet and only my feet. Catchy shoe technology terminology actually means something again when you can feel it in every heel strike and roll of the foot following through. "3D Guidance System", Indeed. My legs feel like missiles in these shoes.Stable, supported, springy. How did it take Asics so long to get these so right?These being the GTX version means they have a "Gore-Tex", Full-Upper that is completely water proof and yet my feet never get hot, even during a Texan spring break. In fact the Upper combined with the ridiculously comfortable insole, feels like a warm hug everytime I slip them on. Like an invitation to go log more miles flat out. Even if I only intended to drive to the store.These shoes run truer to size than most shoes. If you are EXACTLY a size, stay that size. These shoes have a break in. Especially with the Gore-tex fabric. 5-8 miles should have them feelings like Cloud slippers in no time.The bottom has much less tread than I expected, and time will tell if that was wise on Asics part.They seem like a hard compound, so it's possible they'll make it to the next extinction event.Which I hope they do, because if it's the end of the world, at least I know what shoes to wear.

Fits very well and is very comfortable. Durability is also a plus and the design and style works well even for semi formal wear.

These are excellent walking shoes. I usually walk about 15-17 miles per day and these have held up great for a longer period of time than most other shoes I have used over the years. Will definitely purchase another pair when needed! Plus, they are extremely comfortable.

I bought these after seeing a couple of reviews. I've always like how Asics shoes looked, but in the past the toebox was always too narrow for my feet. For the past 15+ years I've been using Brooks, mostly the Adrenaline GTS for my everyday run/walk/train shoe. I saw a video review about these shoes and they were on sale, so I gave them a try and I'm glad I did.My stability issues with my ankles (yes I know there are things I can do) are such that I can tell right away whether or not the shoes will be stable enough for me. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS and this shoe are my go-to shoes. I've had other Brooks models and Saucony models that provide much more cushion, but I can't wear them for long walks or runs without ending up with pain in my knees and ankles from the lack of stability.I don't race, so I can't provide any context as to how they might stack up in that arena, but if you want a good, solid, everyday shoe that provides a good amount of cushion and great stability, give these a try.

I bought the new version 13 of this shoe at a local running store. After wearing them around the house for a couple hours my feet hurt. They were to snug on my feet and on one foot it hit me wrong in the arch. I returned then. I noticed online that others had experienced similar discomfort BUT they claimed the prior year model was great. I took a chance and ordered these shoes. Right out of the box they felt better. After a couple hours around the house, I forgot they were on my feet. I am keeping them.

The GT-2000 were very nice for a marathon run right out of the box. I have since put 150 more miles on them, not once have my feet hurt after using them. I look forward to many more miles.

Great shoe and a great price, I have used Asics for years and they have never disappointed.

The comfortable and fit that I've come to expect having worn this style of Asics shoe for many years.
