Customer Reviews ASICS GT-2160™

I love ASICS! I was on the running team in college and when it came to buying running shoes, the coach told me ASICS was the best running shoe available. Ever since then all I ever buy is ASICS. Sometimes when I see a Nike or Adidas model that looks nice. I try them on but quickly realize there's no shoe like ASICS! These shoes are terrific, very comfortable, good stability, and look great. At first I was a bit nervous about the kiwi green, but even my husband who hates green thought they were pretty nice. I love the charcoal color, specially going into the fall and living in NYC. I was looking for something I could wear that would blend well with everything; they are not as harsh as black ones and not as bright or dirty as white ones. I'm typically a 6.5 in normal dress shoes and have always worn a size 7 in all my ASICS. Try Asics; much better quality and better made than Nike!

These shoes are awesome. I have narrow, flat feet, and wear a 10-10.5 in athletic shoes. Also, I lost cushioning of heel fat pads due to too many cortisone shots (reduces fat that cushions the heel bone) after getting severe heel inflammation from running, so I need lots of heel padding. From the moment I put this shoe on I was thrilled! It fits narrow, has good arch support, and great heel cushion. Also has removable sole for my orthotics. I can even put the sole on top of orthotic for added cushion and still be deep enough that my heels don t slip out from being raised. This style takes all my issues into account and fits like I have none. Gives support everywhere I need it. Only problem I found is I originally ordered a size 10 and just ordered the 10.5. I have never bought Asics brand before so I wasn't sure where to start, but after reading all the great reviews I had to try it. I am holding the 10 and waiting for the 10.5 to try as I feel I might need a bit longer, but don't want to return and then find out the 10.5 is too big. Either way, no matter what size I keep, I can already tell once I go walking outside, I am going to love these shoes. BTW, love that the laces are short. All other narrow athletic shoes still have long laces and I always have to double knot so they don't hit the ground.

I have overpronation and I was searching for a good, supportive shoe to do TurboFire in. These shoes look sweet, definitely my style. I normally wear a size 8, but I ordered 8.5 because most the time my feet expand after excessive cardio; these shoes were pretty loose on my feet and were distracting. I will probably return them for my normal size!

I got this black version to wear as work shoes when I had plantar fasciitis (I already had the white style). My feet did not hurt at ALL in these shoes. The support and padding are excellent.

LOVE these sneakers. LOVE Zappos. What else is there to say? The sneakers were delivered promptly and the free shipping made the price comparable to other sites. I haven't yet worn them for a long run but they've been great for 4’s and under. This is my first pair of Asics and I'm very pleased, certainly won't be my last. This is not my first time ordering from Zappos and obviously won’t be my last for that, either!

Love the shoes! I'm usually between a size 9 and 9.5. The 9's were perfect. I wear them for running, but are really cute as casual shoes. I changed blue shoestrings to black. It's like having 2 different pairs of shoes. I got the shoes within a few days...very quick service. Thanks Zappos.

Great running shoe for me. I purchased the AA narrow. Those of us with narrow feet have very limited choices and this was a happy day for me to find this running shoe!

This is the perfect shoe. I run 5 days a week, and have a high arch, so far am loving it! I would love another exact pair when these are worn out. Zappos rocks!

Best fitting shoes ever. Very comfortable from the start. Hugs your heel without making it sore. Went for a walk the first day I got them and no problems.

These are the best shoes that I have ever had! I will wear these for the rest of my life! They are the best running shoes ever!

I have long narrow feet and a pronation problem. This shoe felts my orthotics well and has a stability feature that stops the pronation. I ordered the shoe in a narrow width and it fits my very narrow heels with no slipping. This the most comfortable athletic shoe ever and I have it in three colors.

I had never owned a pair of ASICS before. My running shoes had always been New Balance. I liked the style and reviews, so I decided to try these out. I love them. I ordered a 9, which is what I always do with tennis shoes, although I wear an 8.5 normally. They fit perfectly and I have had no problems wearing them in.

I really like these sneakers. It is hard to find sneakers that come in a narrow width and can accommodate an orthotic and not feel too tight.

I love them! Great for on and off road.

These shoes are cute and well constructed. I was looking for a white, not too fancy athletic shoe to walk and kick around in and these work well. They have great cushioning and arch support, breathe well, and conform nicely to my hard to fit feet. I also have the GT-2160 trail shoe which is awesome too. I don't shop for shoes anywhere but Zappos!

I'm so confused at this point about sport shoe sizes that I marked this shoe a half size small, though I don't think it is for a sports shoe. I wear an 11 1/2 narrow true to size and this wonderful Asics worked perfectly with my orthotics because I need a half size larger to accommodate them. Until this shoe, I was unable to find a 12 and 1/2, so I nervously awaited their arrival, and it came so quickly from Zappos! I'd tried 13 narrows in the past in other brands, but they were too much shoe. These hug my feet, have laces that don't slip, and feel so secure. They seem to me a real narrow, and I think a slim might get by with them. There's something about the arrangement of the laces that makes the shoe feel custom formed. I love how light and fast I feel when tromping in the dog park. I wish Asics would make a light hiker (water proof?) in this size! While I'm here I also wish that Naot, Mephisto, Keen, and Merrel would start including tall women with correspondingly long feet into their lines. The rare shoe that does fit an 11 and a 1/2 is usually the less supportive kind and a sandal, which is great. But tall women (and maybe not so tall) want supportive shoes too!

I tried the shoes on at a local running store and ordered them from Zappos with a gift certificate. The shoes are great! The running store did not have a color I liked but Zappos did!

I've been wearing and running in Asics since I was 12 years old - over 30 years now and I love them. Comfort out of the box and good stability and spring. True to size - thanks Asics!

I've had a lot of foot problems and these shoes by far have been the most comfortable & helpful!

I'm a first time customer and I must say, it sure does feel like I've been shopping at Zappos for quite some time with the warm welcome and support I had received. The service from Zappos was amazing! And the shipping took less than 24 hours. It was definitely beyond my expectations. I'm in love with my new pair of GT-2160s. I can't wait to burn these out and order another pair from Zappos.

I've only tried this shoe out a few times, but it is very comfortable, and offers a lot of stability. Overall I really like it!

Great shoe, great service! I need a shoe with better than average arch support and this Asics is very good. I do buy Red Wing insoles with added arch support for use in the shoe as I have 'fallen arches' which can be extremely painful without the added support. I've bought these shoes for years and I'm very satisfied.

I typically don't take the time to write a review of all the products that I purchase from Zappos, but these were "Ahhhhh" right from the box! This is my second pair of Asics, and I am now officially a convert from New Balance.

Comfortable but I chose the Brooks Adrenaline over these and the Nike Triax. But every foot is different.

I've been trail running in Asics for years and this is the best shoe ever! Super cushioned and comfortable, cute too!
