Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-130 TR™

Great shoe - This shoe was true to size, comfortable, and looks good.

Great Shoe - This is a great shoe. I love the look and the overall comfort is really good. I agree with some previous reviews that the shoe is stiff and fits high on the foot (why I gave it 4 stars overall). I received the shoe and the next day drove all day in them and wore them all that weekend and didn't have any sore spots so I would say that is the sign of a very well made shoe.

Good Support - I found these shoes to be supportive, but I wish I would have gotten 1/2 size larger. It takes a bit to get these worn. I would buy them again only larger next time.

As close as it gets - The only thing I can find wrong with this shoe is I think the toe of the shoe becomes a little narrow...it looks a little longer than what I like...but the comfort and support is all the description says it is. I have to wear orthodics and they seem to do very well with this shoe. I am looking at buying another pair. Good shoe...good support...good comfort.

Asics GEL-130 TR - Asics GEL-130 TR - Great shoes, a little stiff at first, but otherwise, just what I expected. I have always liked the Asics brand and these are not a disappointment. I have a wide foot, high arch, have a hard time finding comfort - these are just fine.

Sturdy and great lateral movement - I have tried more shoes than I’d like to admit to. I exercise 5 times a week in aerobic classes such as Zumba, step and hip hop hustle and have always had foot pain. I have a pronation problem and have doctor made orthotics, which have helped somewhat. Anyway, have tried multiple shoes from Zappos that are supposed to give support while allow lateral movement. Struck out until I found this shoe. This shoe was actually recommended by my sport podiatrist and was hard to find locally. Naturally Zappos had it. So, after multiple tries on all kinds of shoes (which Zappos has been great about sending back and forth), I finally found the winner. Great support. Foot felt comfortable right away. So, I ordered 2 more pair so I have them when the first one wears out. Thanks Zappos for making this process easy.

I bought this shoe because I need all black athletic shoes for work...no white or any other color at all. I have some Asics running shoes that are really comfortable. These turn out to be comfortable too...after I break my ankle bones in. They rubbed on the inner ankle bone for the first few days and were stiffer than the other Asics I have. Other than that they really are comfortable. I am a delivery driver and so I am walking or climbing up and down in and out of my truck for 8 hours. They do have cushioning in the sole.

Great Cross-trainer - These shoes are pretty roomy and still give support for classes like Pump and Step. The only negative is they cut into the underside of my inside ankle bones, but I have been wearing thin socks. I doubled the socks up and loosened the laces for some additional ankle room for step class the other night and that helped, but I think I will have to get thicker socks.

Good Walking Shoe - When I first tried these on, I couldn't believe how stiff they felt. I thought I would never be able to stand them all day. But I decided to try them because I could tell they had a very good sole for walking. What I have found is for walking they're very supportive-but if I'm not moving in them they're not the most comfortable shoe. Very little cushioning on the inside of the shoe-but they'll probably wear well because of the stiffness of the shoe. Not the most comfortable pair of Asics I've had-but I'm not ready to give up on the brand at all.

Snug - These shoes isn't quite as comfortable as my summer "mesh" Asics because they have an inner lining that makes them feel a tiny bit snug. However, with my orthodics in, they are comfortable--and they are black leather, which means I can wear them in the winter to work.

Asics gel shoe - I do like these shoes; the only thing is they didn't come with insoles. I had to take the ones out of my old shoes. I haven't had time to contact the company about it. Otherwise good quality on the rest of the shoe.

I always love ASICS shoes, but it was my first time wearing cross training type of shoes, and felt a lot more support, but little heavy and tight. I recommend these shoes to someone who has ankle problems, but not for someone who is used to light running shoes.

Like the shoe a lot. Rather narrow in the toe box, not true to size in that area.

They're ok - I was not terribly impressed with these shoes. I like the style- very sporty, and they have a comfortable heel that cushions well. However, I ordered these in a wide and they are still very snug in the toe area which was not expected. Additionally, they make my foot roll in an awkward manor, way too much supination if you have high arches.

This shoe took awhile to break in. Although it offers great all around support, the top of the shoe really hurt my ankle bone.

Pretty good all around - The shoe fits snuggish but not tight. It feels very supportive on sides of shoe, but I needed more arch support for my quirky foot.

Good support and sole cushioning - Seemed to run very small in my opinion, though. Not "pretty" shoes, but very functional and slimming in appearance for my very large, wide feet.

Love the way this shoe looks - I was surprised when I put the shoe on and it didn't feel as comfortable as I thought it would. It is a light weight shoe, well put together shoe but not very comfortable. I am certain it will become more comfortable as it breaks in.

Good Shoes - These shoes didn't feel as wide as I would expect "wide" to be but they are still very comfortable. I didn't get any blisters after wearing them all day the first time I wore them, that's impressive!

Work Out Shoe - I've always had a difficult time finding work out shoes, I wear a size 10, have high arches, high insteps and skinny heels. I went through about 6 pair of different types of exercise shoes before I decided to keep these. It's taken some time to get used to them (like 5-6 workouts) but they seem to be okay. I do Jazzercise and we do lots of lateral moving and these are proving to be quite stable and substantial for the hard workout these get. I will most likely buy them again.

Not wide enough - I know I've got a wide foot, and other ASICS fit me - but this one is just too narrow in the toe box - even in a D width. It's the seam, not the laces, so I can't adjust it. Too bad, it's a really good-looking shoe.

Power Walker - I have owned a pair of Asics Gel's in the past, liked them and thought I would try another pair in a wider width. I liked the look of this shoe and initially was happy to find that it came in wide width. I ordered a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear to get a slightly longer toe box. I noted upon putting the shoes on, that the toe length was no different than if I had ordered my regular size. The width, also, did not seem any wider than regular width. Since I needed the shoes right away, I began wearing them. They are fairly comfortable, but I wish they had been wider and a bit longer. From this experience, I would order one whole size larger, but would not expect the wide to be "wider" than a normal shoe. I like the appearance of the shoe very much. I also did not get blisters upon wearing the shoes for the first time and this often occurs with a new shoe, so I have to give them that. All in all, it's an okay shoe, but I wish I'd gotten what I had expected.

I generally love Asics. However, this is the first shoe I've bought in which it felt smaller than indicated. Otherwise, it holds true to form in terms of comfort and support.

Love the fit of this shoe! Comfort is awesome. However I cannot put in my orthotic as that would make the shoe too tight. Love the gel cushioning especially when standing at work all day. Width is just a hair tight.
