ASICS GT-2140® SKU #7487388(View on Zappos.com Classic)
Product Information:
- Running shoe built for the moderate over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and enhanced stability.
- Immensely popular running shoe that continues to offer its supporters optimal stability and idyllic cushioning (previous model being GT-2130™, SKU #7363889).
- 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.
- ComforDry™ insole provides the optimum cushioning performance system that creates a cooler, drier and healthier shoe environment.
- 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.
- Gender Specific 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. The gender specificity recognizes the normal periodic changes in the shape of a female arch and allows for the controlled deformation of the arch into the space within the system.
- AHAR® Heel Plug (ASICS® High Abrasion Resistant rubber) has been added to critical areas of the outsole for increased durability.
- DuraSponge® blown AHAR® rubber compound improves forefoot cushioning and durability.
- 10.00 oz.
- Product measurements were taken using size 6.5. Please note that measurements may vary by size.

Have worn Saucony and Mizuno in the past, tried New Balance, which didn\'t fit well; these Asics fit and feel better. I measure a 9D and the 9.5D fits perfectly, leaving a little wiggle room, and accommodates my wide forefoot, bunions, high instep, and narrow heel. Light weight shoe. Will purchase Asics again.

I\'ve been wearing these shoes for about a month, and they are great. They\'re very supportive, and have great cushioning in the foot bed. I use them for cross training and am very happy with them.

I absolutely love the shoes! I have always had foot problems due to overwork at an ealy age and had to wear custom made orthodics. However, my feet and spine feel great when I wear these around (even though should only wear during activity). In addition, Zappos did a great job delivering what I wanted.

These shoeas are comfortable, and the width is true to size, unlike most athletic shoes. Lightweight, easy to move in, needed no breaking in. Ran in them without blisters the day I got them.

Wonderful fit, excellent quality shoe. I usually buy New Balance, but these fit better for running/walking. And Zappos is the best for customer service!

Great shoes. Awesome service. I'm a Canadian runner, and have been wearing this shoe for years. However, I have a tough time finding this size/fit in Canada. Zappos got everything right, with speedy (free!) shipping in the US. I will buy my next pair here!

The shoes I ordered came quickly, in 2 days. I was very surprised and pleased. This style is a good fit for me as I have a wide forefoot but narrow heel. They are very well-cushioned, so comfortable from the beginning.

These shoes are my favorite! I teach a very high-impact group fitness class. Even though these are running shoes, I wanted to try them because I kept getting shin splints. I won't lie; I initially bought them because I liked the way they looked. They are very well cushioned, and the first 2 weeks I was actually in a lot of pain (breaking in cushioning can be rough for me with any shoe), but after that they worked wonders. The great design of the shoes comes from the very soft mesh on the top of the foot, plus the very thick cushioning on the bottom which they've managed to keep very lightweight. They totally prevented my shin splints, until they wore out after 8 months. I purchased these again, and now I hope they never stop making these!

I buy these sneakers year after year, and they keep getting better! I have flat arches and these give me great support, while still being very comfortable. They run true to size, but I always buy my running shoes 1/2 a size larger (I was taught to do that to leave room for your feet when they swell up during your run). I own 3 pairs, in all different colors, and use 2 pairs for running and 1 pair for weekend wear. You will not be sorry you bought these!

It is so hard to find narrow sizes anymore, but not on Zappos. I was thrilled to find the Asics in narrow. They fit perfect and are so comfortable right from the start. I ordered them one day and they were there the next. Thank you Zappos!

The Asics GT-2140 are a great running shoe. These are my second pair. They have really good cushioning and don\'t feel too heavy. Good stability and I love the purple color.

I love these shoes. I bought them for the 3 day breast cancer walk in Dallas. I needed 2 pair and I had bought a different pair, but took them back and got another pair of these just a different color. It is like walking on air. Love them!

This is my third pair of Asics GT-2140 and I still love them! They are a very comfortable shoe for beginner runners. I actually have feet problems from many years of doing aerobics and wearing high heels and these shoes feel so good when I put them on. I absolutely recommend them!

I am a walker and have difficulty finding shoes that fit appropriately. I have a long, narrow foot with a very narrow heel. Trying shoes on in a shoe store for a very short time does not mean the shoes will be comfortable on a four or eight mile walk. Getting the Asics from Zappos I was able to try them on the treadmill for an extended period of time and found they were close to the perfect fit. Zappos has excellent service! Thank you!

These are my most favorite shoes that I have ever had in my whole life. They fit perfect. My feet feel great even after being on them all day and into the night. Makes my job and life much more comfortable and healhty too as all of my old foot sports injuries remain just a memory by not being aggravated by these shoes. Excellent. That makes me one happy camper. I have the black ones which blend in well with all day use in regular life.
