Customer Reviews ASICS GT-1000 5

I purchased a wide width because I need more room in the toe box. Unfortunately, although the shoe did seem wider than normal in the arch area, it still had a very pointy toe box which caused rubbing of my small toe.

These shoes make my feet feel hot while exercising!

A size smaller than most Asics and GT1000-4.

This shoe is very bright! The coral is neon.

The only reason I'm keeping these is because I got them for a great price! All of my workout shoes in the past 10 yrs have been Asics, all size 9. These feel like a completely different shoe, much larger in the toe and very minimal arch support. They serve their purpose, but I will often use my older pair of Asics instead as they leave my feet less fatigued. I wish they'd also bring in some more palatable colors, the hot pinks, corals and oranges totally clash with my workout clothes! ;)

These are not as comfortable as intended. Had to return.

These are so cute, but they run short! :(

For running shoes, these run narrow. Which is fine for me, as I have narrow feet. Unfortunately, running in them feel very ploddy. I've had this before, when the shoes sit on the shelf too long the padding disintegrates. If I had the receipt, I would return them. They have been relegated to "scruffy", so I will wear them for house painting and yardwork.

I have worn Asics for many years. They are my favorite sneaker. However, these are just not as comfortable. Usually they feel great right away but somehow these did not. They are getting a little better but there isn't as much padding in the sole. I would have returned them but I wore them outside, thinking they would get more comfortable since they always have been.

runs small and not enough support for my fussy foot

I should have listen to the review that said SMALL..so I went larger in size and width and still small-both ways..disappointed -it looks good BUT!

Wish shoe companies would not keep "upgrading". My two year old GT 1000's were better fitting and more comfortable. Plenty of toe-box room but this shoe was overall more narrow and higher cut in back area so ankle rubs. They seem to stretch out in the toe area after an hour of wearing. Worn 3 times and wish I had not because I would have sent them back.

Had to return. runs Smaller 1size.

Used to wear the Gel 1160, 1170 etc. Per the ASICS company after emailing them, they suggested this shoe. Stated that these replaced the Gel 1160 etc. By no means are these even in the same category. I have a very high arch, plantar fasciitis on top having my ankles rolling inwards. I could wear the other shoes for 12 hrs prior to my feet feeling like the bones are coming through the skin. In addition to causing knee, hip and lower back pain. Had a previous version of these I just purchased, could do about 4 hrs in them, then the pain sets in. Really wish ASICS would go back to the original Gel 1160.

Too tight (top to bottom) in the toe box. Other reviews show similar issues. I can see my toes bulging at the mesh in the right shoe. I don't think a bigger size or wider width would rectify this issue as the length and the width feel fine. On my right shoe I can feel the plastics piece that wraps around the back digging in to my arch just below my ankle bone. Sizing just doesn't seem consistent with other shoes I've owned for this brand. Cushioning and support field good though and color is great.

I used to love Asics. I can't seem to find a good fit from them anymore. I have a medium to narrow width foot, however even the wide width and sizing up leaves no wiggle room in the toe box.
