Product Information:

- Open mesh upper provides excellent comfort and breathability.
- 3M® reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.
- P.H.F.® (Personal Heel Fit) comprises a memory foam lined heel collar that molds to the athlete's heel, creating a personalized fit.
- DuoMax® midsole technology takes the form of a multi-density midsole material designed to help correct the degree and velocity of pronation.
- Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®) better allows the shoe and foot to transition together through the contact, midstance and propulsion components. This linked componentry enhances the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off.
- ASICS® Forefoot and Rearfoot GEL® Cushioning System is strategically placed at high impact areas in the forefoot and rearfoot for shock absorption.
- Solyte® offers a proprietary cushioning material that provides an exceptionally lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and durability.
- Space Trusstic System® creates a pocket between the Trusstic System® device and the midsole, allowing for greater midsole deformation and more efficient foot function. Trusstic System® is a molded component that links the rearfoot and forefoot and shores the midfoot.
- AHAR® Heel Plug (ASICS® High Abrasion Resistant rubber) has been added to critical areas of the outsole for increased durability.

They were much narrower than most shoes I bought. I got wides (D) and still couldn\'t even get my foot in the shoe.

I have problems with over-pronation. This running shoe exacerbated the problem. Not enough arch support. I ran in them for about 4 months, developed more severe pronation and knee problems. Took out the liners and inserted my orthotics. Still had problems with fit and comfort although I was 1/2 size up. Not the best Asics shoe I've run in.

I’ve now worn these shoes almost every day for several months and can say officially that I love them. I am not a runner, but I walk at least 4-7 miles a day - I live in the city and commute on foot pretty much everywhere - and these shoes are incredibly comfortable and WAY better looking than the pictures would indicate, too! I have used them for walking long distances and running on exercise equipment in the gym, and the only problem I’ve had is that they make my feet hurt when I’m running on a treadmill. But not when I’m running “in real life” on the street, and not when I’m walking for hours at a time so I don’t know why that is. Bottom line: they’re really comfortable and they hold up well over distance. I couldn’t be happier.

This shoe is terrific -
I have worn Asics and LOVE the 2130. Definitely buy up 1/2 size and yes, wear a padded running sock for comfort. I also recommend a good orthotic and of course, the liners are removable so you can add your orthotic. Good shoe and Zappos is the BEST!
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Have 3 pairs of them right now. It works.

Asics fits my feet -
Not all running shoes are built for the same feet. One needs to know his/her feet well to choose the right running shoes. Asics Gel-2130 is built for moderate over-pronators who require moderate arch support (not for flat footed runners). Gel-2130 fits me perfectly when I run. Your feet will bloat from running therefore always buy a 1/2 size larger. Also recommending double layered running socks to prevent blistering.

Other Saucony shoes are better -
Saucony is my running shoe of choice. I purchased this shoe mostly because of the color, since there are not many black running shoes. However, after using the shoe for about 5 months, I have developed foot/arch, knee, and back pain (mostly knee pain) in a way I have never known before. Luckily, Zappos has been extremely helpful with the return, and now I am going to try the Saucony Xodus. I HIGHLY recommend Saucony, just not this shoe, especially if you plan on running.

I love this shoe! They are light weight, comfortable, and propel my feet forward. I'm running a 1/2 marathon soon and I've been training in these for seven months and they’re still in great shape. Best shoes I've ever owned.

AWESOME RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX! I’ve recently started a workout program and my other sneakers were killing my feet. Last night my right foot was extremely painful, so I went online and bought these just before bed. This afternoon the UPS driver delivered them! I took them out of the box and within two hours, I was at the gym for over an hour of cardio, and I can’t believe how comfortable they are! They offer good support and cushioning! I would recommend for light running or walking!!! I love these shoes and Zappos for SUPERB service!!!

I have yet to run my usual 5-6 miles or so in these sneakers but I can already tell that I'm going to love them. I've always worn Nike sneakers but these are a lot more comfortable. A little narrow in the middle but plenty of room in the toe area. I will definitely be purchasing Asics running sneakers in the future!

Not quite it.
The 2130 was my almost choice for a running shoe. Loved the fact that I ordered it in black. I tried it against my top 4 choices from 8. It almost made it, but the footbed was not quite right for my foot. Great comfort, great arch support, great stability. I would highly recommend trying this shoe before making a decision based on my review.

Perfect trainer -
After slight shin pain from a cheaper trainer and just starting a 9 week 1/2 marathon training on the treadmill - ran with these right out the box - no blisters, no shin pain and fit perfect. I ordered 1/2 size bigger, wide width in black - very cool. My first pair Asics and in black, will definitely order again. Zappos has the BEST service - keeps me coming back.

Very good support and comfort -
I really like the narrow width, pronation control, and arch support, but the shoe is a little shorter than the GT2120. This is a great shoe if available in your size.

Amazing, stylish running shoe -
This is my third pair of ASICS GT-2130's and they are consistently comfortable as well as stylish. I have tried the new 2140 model, and they felt very similar but my heart (as well as my feet) will always be true to the 2130. Right out of the box I took them for a 4 mile, hilly run and they felt great. No blisters or discomfort at all.
I cannot say enough about Zappos' amazing customer service. I don't care who else sells what I'm looking for, if Zappos has it, I will buy it from them! I ordered my shoes on Monday (a holiday no less) at 3 p.m. PST, and they arrived at noon the next day. There is absolutely no place else that compares to Zappos!

Ready to go out of the box!
I wore them on the treadmill the day I got them. Never had a blister or a sore spot. I actually intend to buy a second pair! and in black, they're very stylish.

Old Standby -
I have been running in this shoe for 15 plus years, and I always buy the current model every 6 months or so. They're great for pronators.

Changed over from the Foundation to the GT-2130.
I had been searching tirelessly (well, okay, sometimes I was tired) for a BLACK (or at least DARK) Asic in a style that would work for my ample frame and pronation tendency, and finally, as if Metatarsus the Great Shoe God finally heard my prayers, the Asics folks came out with a BLACK GT-2130. In women's. In an 8.5. Oh my word. I'd been wearing Gel-Foundations for years, and also the Gel-Fortitude, and I'd HEARD that the GT-2130 was a fine alternative to those, but I hadn't given it a shot, as I was skeptical and very monogamous with my existing Asics relationships. But I am here to testify that word on the street was right -- the GT-2130 IS totally in that same stability/motion-control family, and I LOVE these shoes. The sole is a LITTLE stiff and klunky, but it's loosening up, and the tongue of the shoe is very poofy and prominent (I could use less tongue), and I'm aware of how wide the shoe is, and that I still need to futz with the laces to get the shoe the exact degree of tightness and looseness in various spots that I want it...but other than those minor complaints, this sneaker is really supportive, cushy and shock-absorbent. I took a 90-minute indoor/outdoor walk in them yesterday and could have kept going, easily. I hope to wear these for a long time to come.

Running shoes -
I'm a long time user of Asics for running shoes. I kept not finding my size in stores. I was happy to find it online as well as a range of choice in colors. I never new the GT-2130 came in black. Asics still fit my foot just right, thank you for the convenience of online ordering.
