These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. I stand for 6-8 hours a day at work, plus walk for 2 hours a day. I use these for my weight training workouts, and just as an everyday shoe. Wearing them feels like walking on clouds. I had been a fan of new balance until I found these, and after trying 3-4 other pairs from NB, I keep sending them back and picking up a pair of the 2130's. They have excellent arch support, awesome cushioning, and help stabilize your ankle. I have had knee pain with other shoes, and nothing with these. My only complaint is the looks (which is why I keep going to NB hoping to find something I like). But comfort keeps me here. Zappos shipping is excellent. Usually arrive 2-3 days after order with regular shipping, and their return policy is great.

I used to have a pair of gel-foundation IV that I loved. I decided to try these because they looked pretty nice and I wanted to go back to Asics. I put them on and everything was awesome...except it felt like there was no padding. Support was the best I ever felt on any sneaker though (arch support is wow), but lack of padding had me question if I could walk on these for a long time (I know, it's a running shoe...but when you are strapped for cash, you can only buy one pair).

Best running shoe for the $$$-
Dollar for dollar the best running shoe I've had. I'm a big guy (240 lbs) and run about 15 miles/wk in the Army and love these. Light, breathable and comfortable. I've had 3 pairs and will opt for the 2140's on my next purchase just to see if there is a significant difference. Highly recommend these.

I think I have a slightly awkward foot. Most shoes will either be too tight in the toes or have no arch support. This shoe has both. The tip of the shoe is wider than most so it gives people like me room to move my toes around and not be pressed up hard against the roof of the shoe. Also, you can feel how well the shoe supports your arches and other areas of your feet. I tried out a pair of New Balance's and the support those had is nothing compared to these. Its worth spending more to get these instead of New Balance's if you need/want great support and comfort.

Best shoes!
I have always had trouble finding good fitting shoes, let alone shoes that don't leave me in pain after a long run, but after these, I look no further. They fit great, and best of all are extremely comfortable when running. I wear them all day too. I am now on my 4th pair and am sad that they are discontinued.

Very comfortable, but please kill the shiny plastic in 2009!
I first purchased this shoe in 13EE which was very tight on me. I also purchased it in the white the first time around and absolutely could not stand the spacey looking shiny plastic look. Who wants to wear shiny plastic shoes? I mean come on this isn't any longer the disco age. I truly hope that the shoe designers come up with a material that isn't shiny. What are we a bunch of little kids? This time I purchased them in black 13 EEEE and they fit well, but I will only use them on the treadmill at home. Wouldn't wear them in public. They are very comfortable but run kind of narrow in the width. So, if you have a wide foot, order a size or two wider.

Shoe felt very nice when I tried them on. Maybe a 1/4 size too big. They just look cheap. The shoe glue was kinda smeared all around on them and they just didn't look nice. I returned them.

Great shoe for the big man -
Active duty army, 230 lbs. Shoe held up great. Very comfortable, light weight and breathable. I ran about 8 miles/week on average and the shoe lasted me about 6 months before I felt the cushioning start to diminish. I will be buying this shoe again.

Fits my needs - flat feet/orthotics -
I have very flat feet and finding shoes that support an orthotic and still breathe and are comfortable is a constant search. These are the best shoes I've found. In different colors this is what I wear most of the time. I suspect these are very good shoes for those with different needs as well.
(By the way, Zappos service is superb- fast and accurate).

Asics 2130 Narrow -
Zappos has excellent service the best online experience period.
I have a small foot, the narrow is true to size and I’m glad I went that route but I have had Asics before that did not require sizing and fit just fine, trend maybe.
I felt the shoe was not as comfortable and cushy as I would like in a running shoe and felt they were terribly overpriced.
They look great and wear well, good luck!

So far so good.
I tend to overpronate more with my right foot than my left, but after about 40 miles, I still don't need my inserts. I also have a problem with feet swelling and I bought these shoes a little wider than normal - they're working out great, but now my feet are getting better so I may have to keep two pairs on hand I use my shoes for walking. I really like the heel to toe transition and it seems to get better the farther I walk. I love the looks and they are the most comfortable tennis I've ever worn. It's a bit early to tell how they will wear, "So far so good".

Great shoe right out of the box, but durability concerns -
I've been wearing these daily for both walking and running, about 5 - 8 miles per day for about three weeks. They are extremely comfortable right out of the box, fit my narrow foot well (narrow size), and aid in my stride in which I pronate quite a bit. They solved some knee issues I was having, which is great. However, they are already starting to lose their cushioning and support after just a few weeks… but would still recommend them.

I have to say this bag was a disappointment, I regret purchasing it. It looked cute online but in real life it looks very cheap. I'm very careful with my bags but the lining split within a couple weeks of using it. The lining is black satin and it is very loosely fitted into the bag so it tends to bunch a lot. Not to mention the black satin lining turns the bag into a black hole, it's impossible to see anything in the bag when you are rummaging around looking for stuff. The pink satin bows on the sides of the bag never stay tied and it looks messy tied in a knot which I've had to do so they don't trail. It has stroller loops so you can hang it from your stroller handle which in theory is a great idea but the clips are made of cheap, thin plastic and they pop open as soon as you hang the bag using them. The outer material is a plasticy material and in the folds in the bag the corners are starting to crack. The other issue is the changing mat which is included. I have another Betseyville diaper bag called Simply Studs in black and I love this bag and it comes with a changing mat that in the picture looks the same but in reality its not. The changing mat that comes with this Baby Bow bag has practically no padding whereas the one I have that came with the Simply Studs one is nicely padded. This bag does hold a lot, so it has that going for it but that's about it. I love all things pink but this bag is very garish in real life and the reason for that is it looks like a cheap bag in real life. I would not recommend.

GT-2130 -
Let a couple of guys at work talk me into jumping ship (New Balance) and give Asics a try. Decided on this model due to my foot type and type of running (flat/4+miles a day). Had some foot pain at first, but found this shoe to be comfortable after about 25 miles. I guess I'm a little odd because I have a flat foot, overpronator, 5'10", 210lbs, but never really have any pain or discomfort from a normal cushion shoe until they are approximately 6 months old. I found that the extra support and overpronation control a little hard to get use to at first, but overall found this shoe to be comfortable after a break-in period (probably me and not the shoe).

Quality shoe for the right runner -
The Ascise GT-2130 is a good quality shoe and looks good as well. This shoe did not work for me. I'm 6’1” 185lb 40-50 mile per week runner. I have been trying a few different shoes of late. Have high arches, wide but thin bony feet with a narrow heel. They did not provide enough cushioning for me. I tested this against the Asics Cumulus-10. The Cumulus-10 provided more cushioning and overall comfort for me. I used the GT-2130 with a replacement high arch insole.

Best running shoe I have ever purchased!
I cannot say enough about these shoes. I have tried others (including some other Asics) and none fit as well as these or are more comfortable. It is like walking on a cloud. I have a high arch, a wider than average foot AND a fairly narrow heel and these are the Best ever!!

Satisfaction -
I have been wearing this model Asics shoe thru all of its iterations and happy with it. I have a very high arch and pronate with my right foot and this shoe directs my foot fall to the outside. I wear EE and yet I would like it to be a tad wider, but I do not like to go to 10 because the additional length annoys me. As usual the Zappos folks handled the order perfectly.

Great shoe!
This shoe is absolutely perfect! The fit is great and is exactly what I needed since I overpronate when I run. Zappos is the place to order from ... the price was consistent with (or less than) other stores, the 4E size was in stock, and I ordered the shoes Sunday evening and had them in my hands by Tuesday (even with standard shipping)! I couldn't be any happier!
