Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-130 TR™

This shoe felt great--excellent cushioning and stability--but the ankles are cut very high. If you plan to move a lot laterally, you may want to consider a different pair of shoes.

Blue-on-white not good! I love this shoe...I have owned a pair of white-on-white TR-130's for almost a year now and LOVE them. Good support, comfortable...and I have a hard-to-fit foot. BUT...I tried the blue-on-blue this month...tried two different pair...and they are not up to standards. Something about how the tongue is sewn in made the tongue on the right shoe of both pairs slide all the way to the outside of my foot within minutes of wearing them to exercise; and the left tongue on the second pair did the same thing. When I pulled the tongue to the back of shoe, straight back, and let it go, it "listed" to the outside in each of the right shoes. I recommend this shoe in the white-on-white...I have not tried the aqua or black...but the blue-on-blue was a bust for me!

Works for me! Not very cute, but very supportive for jazzercise...these took a few days to break in but now I really like them. I'd definitely buy them again. Run a little bit small--- I wear them with thin socks and they are just fine.

ASICS GEL-130 TR™ I use these shoes for jazzercise and have found them to be the only shoe that is comfortable and has the support that I need for my workout. I found I could not get them in the stores and ordering them on zappos.com was very easy and could not believe how quickly they were delivered. No tax and no delivery charge!

Good Sneaker - It's not the most stylish out there but its fine for walking, running etc. They took a few days to break in even though I ordered a wide with. But, after a few days of wearing them, they are comfortable now. Overall, a good shoe.

The best aerobic step shoe - I am a die-hard step aerobic girl. Finding the ankle support and general stability can be challenging. I have owned at least 20 different styles/brands. This shoe is the best so far. It can rub a little until broken in, but then it really protects your feet and ankles.

Asics GEL-130TR - I am thrilled to have these very comfortable shoes for walking. I am living in China and ordered these special to use for walking since I am walking so much more than I usually do. They are well constructed as Asics always are and provide the same comfort I have come to expect from this company. I would highly recommend these shoes. Perhaps the black isn't the most attractive shoe but the comfort is what is important. It was great to know that I could order these shoes and know they would fit perfectly.

I bought these for my wife as a Christmas present. She LOVES them. Says they are the most comfortable shoe she has ever worn. Thanks for all the positive feedback. That swayed my decision.

Nice shoe experience - I purchased these shoes for my wife and she is very pleased with the appearance and fit of the shoes.

Christmas Gift - My sister loves these shoes - to the point where she is dreading the day when she won't be able to find them anymore... we both agree that the look of the shoes leaves a lot to be desired - however the comfort she feels is far superior to other sneakers. Right now she bought a pair for working out with and we are giving her a "backup" pair to store until those need replacing. Just wish they were cute too, but sometimes comfort, support, and cute don't all go together.

Awesome - I just ordered my second pair. I wore them for the first time to the gym, so much support, no blisters. I really like them. I ordered my regular size 9.5 M and they fit great. As always Zappos is the best ever, had them the next day.

So Supportive! I am a hospital floor nurse, so the color is wonderful (all white) and the support is super! I don't think I could do my job anymore without these shoes!

Great Shoe! After ordering 11 different cross trainers, I finally found the perfect pair. I initially ordered the 8.0M (I wear a 7.5M in street shoes), but could feel my right foot going numb just in the short time I was trying the shoe out. I reordered the 8.0W and they felt great. I wore them for the first time yesterday to a 2 hour "Post Turkey Day" aerobic workout that included a mix of step, kickboxing and floor aerobics. They have great lateral support and feel very stable. They are on the heavier side, but I prefer shoes with more "substance" to them (all leather) rather than having more mesh than leather. They do come up a little higher on the ankle than I'm used to and I anticipated some irritation on the inner ankle bone, so I put moleskin on both ankles and had no problem. I'm sure after wearing these for a few more times; I can do away with the moleskin. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and the fast service and free returns that Zappos offers.

Great shoe! I bought this shoe because it was moderately priced, but I absolutely LOVE the way it looks & feels! It is a very stylish shoe & incredibly comfortable. I would highly recommend it!

Just received my second pair. My only complaint is they do run narrow. I have never worn a wide shoe but do take a wide in this style- and the back heel is stiff. I have high arches and occasionally suffer from planter fascia. I have not had a flair up in the last year with these shoes. I do step, circuit and mixed aerobics. Have never had a shoe before that had so much bounce.

Very satisfied - After reading the reviews and talking to a friend that said this shoe was narrow, I ordered it in 8W. (as depending on the shoe I can go 8M or 8W). This fit perfectly, but I could see that it would be narrow if you really need every bit of room in a wide shoe. It is a lighter weight (my goal) than my New Balance walking shoes and works great indoors for me at the gym. I have only worn these on the treadmill and walking on the track indoors, but I have had no problem.

Great support! The shoe is very supportive, sturdy, and almost perfectly comfortable. The stripes on the side are felt on one shoe, but not painful. Perhaps is more due to my flat feet. But the last pair I had didn't have that problem.

Oooohh! Yummy! I have an awful time with sneakers; I can find 4" stilettos with no problem, but sneakers are so hard! Wide feet and custom orthotics equal a rough time... I've been dropping $130 on a higher end Asics shoe, but I don't run and got tired of that. These Asics cross trainers are so pretty, meet my needs, and though they weren't quite wide enough for orthotics they are wide in the D size. Orthotic Master stretched them with no trouble and I have pretty womens shoes for the first time in years! The construction is as excellent as one would expect from Asics, and for the money they're a deal. They walk really well. I have to be very conscious of my gait and I am impressed. My only complaint is that these are cut a bit high at the ankle and could get irritating. They need a little higher sock than the shorties worn with running shoes. This is the classic cross trainer construction so they should be great at the gym. Pretty darn wonderful- they're silver!

So wonderful I ordered them for the family. Within one week of wearing this wonderful shoe, I ordered three more pairs for members of my family. The shoe is extremely comfortable and provides a solid platform for all kinds of activities. I have owned Asics before, as well as Nike, Saucony, and others. This is the best all-around shoe I have found. The others I bought shoes for love theirs as much as I love mine. As for Zappos - don't even try the other places. I admit I did and it was a terrible mistake that I will not make again.

Asics Gel-130 - Great aerobic/dance shoe. I have problems with my ankles twisting easily. This shoe has been a life saver. Never a problem with my ankles when wearing this shoe - great support. It runs a little small but not so small that I need to go up a half size. Just wear really thin socks.

Asics GEL - I tried them on in a store to be sure of the size. They are right on. My 8 1/2 fit perfectly. I use them almost daily for my workout. Love the lateral stability. This will only be my first pair of Asics.

Asics Tennis Shoe - I cannot say enough about this shoe or the service from Zappos. You receive your order the very next day - unbelievable!! What service!! When I initially ordered the shoe it was too narrow for my orthodic, so I ordered a wide. Again, I received it the very next day. I have Plantar Fasciitis and now I am not even wearing an orthodic the shoe is so comfortable. I will order Asics again, and I would definitely order from Zappos. Good service is hard to come by these days, and Zappos gets 5 stars from me.

Asics' Crosstrainer - I have worn Asics for about two years. I need a shoe with a good rocking motion, because I have a fused ankle. Asics have been the best walking shoe I have found so far for my foot.

Great Sneaker! I am a big fan of Asics. This is my first pair that isn’t a running shoe. It does have a different feel then I am used to but it is very comfortable. The base is solid, the arch support is strong and the toe box is stiff and solid. I would suggest this shoe if you need firm support in the gym or just want a cute everyday sneaker.

Fit perfect and super comfortable! I have never owned a pair of Asics before, so I was skeptical about purchasing sight unseen and not trying them on. But I ordered my normal sneaker size and when I put them on right out of the box they fit like a glove! I use them for all of my daily workouts from Treadmill to my mixed aerobics class and they make the grade for all of it!!
