Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-130 TR™

High & Heavy - These are a bit heavier on your foot than other sneakers and they are a bit high near the ankle which caused me to get a blister. Hopefully after breaking them in, they will feel better.

Asics gel - 130 TR - Although I usually love Asics shoes, I didn't like this one much. It hurts to wear them, after about 30 minutes, which is surprising for an athletic shoe. I was disappointed.

Not as comfortable as other Asics shoes - I was very happy to see that they had wide sizes (something I never find in the store). Usually I buy Men's Asics because they are wider. This time I tried a Woman’s size 10 wide. The shoes arrived quickly, and they looked ok, but did not feel very good on. The heel was high in the back (and probably would have rubbed/left blisters) and the shoe was more snug than I wanted (both in length and width). Disappointing.

Not too comfy - I've always purchased Nike Air or Reebok air soles, but thought I'd try Asics this time. After wearing them for a day, my feet started to hurt. Not enough padding for impact. Size is true, but I ordered the wide width, since I have wide feet, and they seem a bit too wide. They're good for wearing for shorter periods, but I'll have to purchase another pair for wearing all the time. Good ankle support though.

Love the look, but heel/ankle area too high - I love the look of this shoe and I ordered it in black. I was so excited to get them but as soon as I put them on it hit high on the ankle/Achilles area. Wearing them just sitting around made my Achilles feel uncomfortable. These should be marketed as "mid-top" shoes. I had to return them - on to trying the next pair.

They are pretty comfortable, I use them for jazzercise, and I am still breaking them in a little bit.

Just not great for me - Felt good initially, but after walking the heights of the shoe in the heel area was not comfortable.

High-tops - These shoes just seem to be "mock-hightop" sneakers. If you liked the support that high-tops gave to athletic shoes in the 80s and 90s, you will love these! Other customers seemed to be willing to keep them after they got used to them. I wasn't willing to wait that long. After half an hour, I wanted them off. I am returning them, but I will try Asics again.

Good lateral and heel support - I do a lot of studio classes, so was looking for a shoe with nice stable sides. My feet are wide, and even with the wide model I find them just a tad too narrow for me. I am hoping they loosen up a bit. Overall I am happy with these shoes. They are good sneakers, and a good price.

"Marble" in arch - Just received today and they're going back. Felt like a marble in the arch in the right foot just in front of the inside of the heel when I stepped down. Too painful to try and break in. Left foot was fine, so probably a fluke. I'll try some other Asics as they're the best I've found for comfort and durability; these would have been my third pair. The last pair lasted a year walking on dirt trails 4 to 6 miles 5/6 days a week and wearing them to work on concrete floors 6 hours a day. So, I'll try another style since the style I have now isn't available on Zappos. Awesome service by the way Zappos!

Ok - I was excited when I opened the box...I loved the silver coloring. However, when I tried them on they didn't fit the best. The shoe is a little high by the ankle bone and rubbed. I even tried putting a thicker sole in the shoe (to raise my foot up a bit) and it still rubbed on my ankle bone. Otherwise they felt pretty comfy and cushiony. But, the rubbing on the ankle was too big of a discomfort for me to keep them. :-( I will say they felt a little shorter than most 10 1/2's I have worn in other brands, too. I'd order a 1/2 to 1 whole size bigger. But, a big pat on the back for Zappos... I ordered these shoes and got them the next day. Wonderful Service Zappos! I'll be ordering again and again!

Ordered a wide, but it was still somewhat tight across toe/bunion area. Not a bad shoe, good heel support and cushioning. I would try this brand again, perhaps an extra width wider.

Has a high area that rubs and is uncomfortable. Didn't realize it until I was through a workout. If I had paid more attention I would have returned these. As always though, the Zappos service was excellent.

Sore - Normally I love Asic gels but these have rubbed a sore on my ankle--they are otherwise comfortable, but every time I let the sore heal and put them on again it rubs it raw again.

High around the ankle - This shoe is very high around the ankle. I needed to and heel lifts & it is still hitting my ankle. If not for that I would really like this shoe.

Too bulky not so comfortable - This shoe fits just right but it's too bulky for my taste. Also, it's not that comfortable at the ankle level. The curvy design cuts into my ankle making it rather uncomfortable. The heel feels supportive enough but I am not thrilled with the experience.

I felt the impact when running. The inside didn't feel like it had enough cushioning around my foot. Hard feeling. Looks were fine. Fit was fine.

Blisters! I got blisters on both my feet from this shoe! Although they look nice, I certainly would not recommend if you are doing any type of aerobic activity.

Rubs inside ankle - Collar of shoe rubbed the skin off at the inside, top of both ankles - didn't relax after 3 wearings - ended up throwing them out.
