Description
View the Video Description for this product! (Please note that the color shown in the video may no longer be available.)- Revamped and ready to hit the streets is the latest version in the GT-2000™ series. Boasting an enhanced fit, ride and a reduced weight, the ASICS® GT-2170™ maintains the reliable stability and cushioning you crave.
- Update to the GT-2160™, SKU# 7708805.
- A running shoe built for the moderate overpronator who requires a combination of cushioning and enhanced stability.
- Breathable mesh upper.
- Supportive synthetic overlays.
- Discrete Eyelets - Independently placed eyelets evenly distribute lace tension for an enhanced fit.
- Padded tongue and collar.
- PHF® (Personalized Heel Fit) creates a custom fit as the two layers of memory foam that line the collar mold to your heel.
- ComforDry™ sockliner offers anti-microbial properties for a drier, healthier environment.
- I.G.S® (Impact Guidance System) is an ASICS design philosophy that employs linked componentry to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike through toe-off.
- Solyte® midsole is lighter that standard EVA and SpEVA® designed by ASICS. Its responsive nature delivers a supremely cushioned ride and makes it highly durable.
- Dual-density Solyte lasting design allows for different densities of Solyte material to be used in the heel and forefoot for improved comfort.
- Rearfoot & forefoot Gel® cushioning systems work together to better attenuate impacting shock and allow the foot to move fluidly throughout the gait cycle.
- Space Trusstic System™ mid-foot stabilizer creates a pocket between the Trusstic System unit and the midsole, promoting more controlled midsole deformation, as well as more efficient foot function.
- Guidance Line® technology employs a vertical flex groove that decouples the tooling along the line of progression for maximum stride efficiency.
- DuraSponge® forefoot outsole material is comprised of a blown AHAR® rubber for superior cushioning and long-lasting wear.
- AHAR® (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) is known for its supreme durability and is strategically placed throughout high-wear areas of the outsole.

For the record: some say runners tend to be dogmatic about their running shoes (along the lines of the dogmas surrounding the iPhone vs Android, Canon vs Nikon, Adidas vs Nike, etc. feuds) so I confess upfront to be an Asics fan. I run about 25 miles every week mostly to stay fit, but I end running decent times in races. I've been running the Asics GT-2XXX series since 2005 (starting with the GT-2100) and I've owned every single new model since then. They've created a tradition of constant improvement in every new model and the GT-2170 is not an exception. The GT-2170 is lighter than its predecessor and the cushioning provides a better ride and, in my case, helps me with my inclination to develop shin splints. The low-lights are the limited selection of colors and certainly the price that has been increasing with every single model. If you are a moderate to severe over-pronator, I definitely recommend the GT-2170.

Comfortable shoe but wore out in about 1 month. The upper part of the shoe developed a hole. I would not recommend this shoe.

I originally purchased the New Balance 930 for a little more than these Asics. I ended up returning the NB and purchasing the Asics. Love this running shoe! I'm a big buy, 6'-2 250lbs, and this shoe provides me with plenty of support and is super comfortable. I highly recommend this shoe. I've only had it a little over a month, but so far it's holding up very well. I only lightly jog with this shoe.

I graduated to these shoes from the Nike frees... And what a difference !! These shoes are amazing. Have had them for just over a month and my legs feel so comfortable while both walking and running. They look and feel great. Couldn't have asked for better. Thanks Asics!
I'd also recommend: New Balance MR950

I am a long standing fan of basics from their kayano 14 through the gt 2140's and up. The gt 2170's make an excellent work shoe and really hold up to the trials of daily running. Get them and you will love them. They are more than worth the money and the arch support is outstanding.
I'd also recommend: Rockport

I was running in the Nike Lunar Glide II's last year and was having ankle issues. Decided to switch to these and after a month of wearing them, my legs feel great. Love this shoe!
