Customer Reviews ASICS GT-1000™

I bought these 7 months ago to wear inside at work on rotation with another pair of Asics. I've worn these 2-3 time a week over the last 7 months - not every day and not giving the shoes a beating. I discovered a hole in the toe-box of my right shoe where the Asics design has separated from the mesh - it's about 1/2 inch in length. My other pair of Asics have developed the same issue in a different place on both shoes. There was little to no support in the heel and arch of this shoe - very disappointed. Zappos came to my rescue and accepted my return - awesome. The other pair of Asics I have were over a lot and the most comfortable shoes I've had, but unfortunately didn't stand the test of time. I don't think I will but the Asics brand again. Lesson learned price doesn't always = quality.

I love Asics and have never had a problem with the way they fit. I wear a wide shoe. I ordered this pair in a wide size. They were definitely not a wide shoe even though all of the labeling indicated they were.

Initially great shoes for running, very comfortable, great support. But, the mesh by toes started wearing after about a month.

I'd been wearing the Asics Gel 1170s, so I hoped that the GT-1000s would be similar or even better. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The shoes fit pretty well overall (although I would have liked a little more room in the toebox). However, when walking or running, I noticed an awkward, rough transition from heel to toe instead of a smooth ride like most running shoes. There appears to be a little raised area on the bottom of the shoe at the back end. I did not keep these shoes. If the shoes were flat on the bottom (like the Gel 1170s), I think they would feel much better.

Very disappointed. I needed a black pair of shoes. Very little heel support and no support at all for the ball of your feet. I like that they are light weight and have good arch support. I have a different style Asics that I love (could not get in black). I would not recommend GT-1000.

I have worn Asics for years, wear to work in physician's office. These are a poor follow up to the Asic GT 2160 and GT 2170. There is no support at all. They feel like a cheap athletic shoe, but they are not given the price. Matter of fact, after wearing these for about a month, I went today and purchased my first pair of Brooks, I love them!

Comfortable out of the box but did not wear well. Inner mesh along big toe frayed in 1st 2 months I assume due to brushing foot against the other one during running. Disappointing.

These are very narrow shoes. I got a wide, they were narrower than a B width. There is a space at the end of the toe where the insole stops too soon.

I purchased these shoes on August 2nd, 2013, and by October 25th, 2013 the side had blown out on the right shoes right above/to the side of the big toe joint. I have put less than 50 miles on them so far, and have never blown out a pair of shoes. I do not have wide feet, and I run on paved roads/bike trails (no off-roading). I have emailed Asics directly, hopefully this is a defect in this particular shoe, and they will rectify it. I had a pair of Newtons before these that I put 410 miles on before switching. A this cost of a dollar shoe that blows out at 50 miles is a lot per mile is unacceptable.

I loved the GT-2100 series, just fabulous. This bears no resemblance to it, or any other good Asics. My local shoe store has even stopped recommending them. I would not try another pair.

Have loved all of my Asics but these are hurting my feet as they are markedly more narrow. I must return them to Zappos for a different style with a better cut.

I ordered my shoes 4 weeks ago and have been wearing them to work. I spend most of my day sitting in a chair with a little bit of movement around the office. A piece of the shoe from the sole just fell off and I noticed that a few of the other pieces are coming off too. Seems like the glue isn't holding the blue pieces from the bottom to the while sole. Comfort is at 1 because I have to spend all day until I get home with a piece missing which I can feel every time I take a step.

Ordered this shoe to have on hand as an inexpensive spare. Really disappointed with ASICS. This shoe ran really narrow even though I ordered the size I have been wearing in ASICS, 7 1/2 D. I'm having to replace my Gel Kayano pair after less than 4 months wear. The entire back counter fabric has worn through to the outside of the shoe. Disgusting quality. Time to switch brands.

I believe this shoe is defective. I have never had a shoe hurt my foot the way this one did. I wore it for 4 hours and my left foot and ankle hurt for a day and a half afterwards.
