Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-170™ TR

Not quite the right shoes for me, as they are engineered for running on the toes or front part of the foot. For just walking or treadmilling, the feel is as if the front bears no weight and weight falls on the middle and back/heel of the foot. this is a strange sensation at first, after wearing flat soled shoes and basketball shoes for most of my life, and I've had to adjust my workout some to accomodate. Otherwise, the shoe fits well and the uppers are comfortable. I've worn them most every day for about an hour and a half for a month now.

Extremely disappointed with the product. This is my 3rd pair of Asics. The first pair was truly 5 stars. The Gel a welcome addition. These shoes are used for exercise walking for someone with a wide (4E) foot. Previously I had used New Balance for years. Until they continuously changed and cheapened their product. My 2nd pair of Asics were marginal. They had changed the inside fabric on the heel portion. It abraded my skin. But duct tape diminished the rubbing. However, this current generation heel interior fabric feels like coarse sandpaper. There simply is no way to walk in them without chafing and blistering. Too bad.

I thought the price was a fair deal until I got the shoes and soon noticed the piece of plastic peeling off the toe. No way to fix. Returning shoes to Zappos.

I just got them today. I buy cross trainers for extreme workouts (Insanity). These fit absolutely perfect on a guy who wears straight up 12 medium. Like a glove. I always buy Nike but decided to branch out to these. Great choice. My reconstructed ankle is happy as pie! I don't know how else to describe these sneaks - but perfect. Light, tight and bad ass. I'll stop there.

My physical therapist recommended this style of shoe for my achy feet. These shoes are very comfortable.

Have always used Asics for my exercise shoes, recently replacing my old pair with these. Great fit and support at a reasonable price.

Comfortable, perfect fit, and well constructed. A good product at a reasonable price.

I wear this shoe for all-day use including walking 2.5 miles daily for exercise. Fits well, wears well, comfortable, and big enough to accommodate an orthosis (custom arch support). Over the past 3 years I've bought three pairs of this model. Now I buy two pairs at a time because I know that sometime in the future the model will not be available.

I've got orthotics that are different for each of my feet. This is a shoe that can accommodate both and is comfortable on both feet - a big plus. Not the prettiest shoe out there and not the best made, but the best fitting for the price.

This is my fourth pair of Asics shoes so I obviously like them. This pair however is not that comfortable. Also, a part of the rubber sole is already coming off after only 2 weeks of less than moderate use. I hope this is a bad pair and not an indication of the companies quality trend.

After wearing a pair of 150TR until they almost fell apart, these were very disappointing. I was able to stand in the 150s for hours without problems, but these have proven to be very painful for all but the shortest walks. There is very little heel support so the arches of my feet hurt terribly after wearing them for more than a couple hours. I have tossed in some superfeet to see if that helps so I don't feel like I wasted my money but if it doesn't I'll just use these for workouts and look elsewhere. They're good for that at least, but not much use as regular sneakers.

Earlier incarnations of this shoe had superior comfort all day. I could spend 8-10 hours on concrete with no problem. Support was awesome. This new version is lacking in comparison. The heel is so narrow! The support is not as good as the older shoe I had. But the quality of construction is still there. These shoes are tough, no doubt about that.

These shoes started falling apart after just a couple months. These are my second pair, and the first pair did the same thing. Not worth buying.
