Loved this item. Has excellent arch support and has helped reduce the knee pain my daughter had been experiencing. The shoe is wider in the toe box without the heel becoming sloppy, so it stays on the foot well!

I have really enjoyed the last pair of these, in blue and green, and recently ordered two more of the same in the same size as before, as they were on sale! Once they arrived, I discovered they were 1/2 a size too small :(, and had to return them. My size wasn't available, so I called and ordered these. I have to say that although they do fit, they don't fit as well as the last pair. I also feel like some corners were cut in their construction somehow, as they just don't quite have the same supportive feel as the former pair. Love the color though.
The size problem is pervasive, from anecdotal evidence at other athletic shoe stores. The salespeople have said that the shoes are coming in 1/2 size smaller, even though they are labeled as before. Not sure why this is happening, but it's disappointing and a big time waster for customers, who have to return any online orders and order others.

Nice Diva Blue,White Aqua Splash!!! Love the color combos and turquoise laces. Nice arch support, Nice toe box, Nice Cushion, but the size is slightly too short in length for me and I fear the next 1/2 size up would be too big over all. I do like that they are a level shoe rather than having a high heel. However, Sorry,Due to the slight length Lacking, These have to go back to Zappos.

I love zappos, I have ordered several pair of shoes, great customer service. I love the Asics GT and have worn them for years. I have bunions and am trying to wear the proper shoes to avoid surgery. When I wear these shoes I don't even know that I have bunions. I did read other reviews and ordered a half size bigger, which worked great for me. I recommend these shoes highly.

These shoes are very comfortable! I've been wearing the same Asics style through several changes, buying them for their comfort and because there's not much choice for size 6 1/2 extra wide. Last style change had to go up to a 7. This time 71/2. My feet are the same size as before in other shoes, so you might want to size up when you order.

I exchanged for a half size larger, which was super easy thanks to Zappos excellent customer service! I love the vibrant colors of these shoes; they will last for many miles.

I purchased these about a month ago. I have had to start wearing wide shoes due to a foot injury/surgery. This shoe seems to run a little more narrow than other brands and is comfortable for only part of the day. It is a very nice looking shoe and love the look just a little disappointed they aren't a tad roomer in the toe area. If that is where you are needing the extra width I would go up a size or try a different style.

I have worn only Asics running shoes for the fit stays the same with each model of shoe. I order my usual 9 wide and it appeared to fit normal.
My first thought when trying on these shoes for the first time was fabulous fit. However, during my first run with these shoes, they stretched out a whole size larger and I found myself tying the laces tighter to keep them from slipping on my heal. Sadly I will not be able to wear these any longer.

Very comfortable. I have a bunion and got the wide size. Definitely order a 1/2 size up as they run small.

Asics always has the best arch support, and this shoe is no different. It's great for running. However, I wish Asics (and other companies) would make more attractive, supportive running shoes! I feel like I'm always sacrificing style for comfort/support.

Nice shoe but seemed too short. Have worn 8.5 in Asics for years and size always runs true. Not this pair however. Better color choices would be nice. Thanks Zappos. You're great!

I have worn the Asics GT 2000 series forever (including the predecessor series). I hated last years 2000 4 shoe as it was 1/2 size too small and it felt like I was walking on rocks. I sent those shoes to Goodwill and scoured the internet for the remaining 2000 3's in an 8 narrow. I'm thrilled to say that I love, love, love this year's GT 2000 5 shoe. The comfort and support of previous models are back. The only drawback is that the sizing is still a bit off and I'm in an 8.5 this year again instead of the normal 8. I do wish that they would offer all color options in the narrow sizing!!

These shoes are great until about mile 4. They are comfortable with plenty of room for my wide feet. The biggest issue I have is that, no matter if I tie them tighter or looser, they cause pain in my achilles tendon. It's only on days that I'm doing a lot of walking. There's something about the upper heel cushioning that just irritates me and makes it difficulty to keep walking. If I'm just doing a quick workout session, they're awesome.

I really wanted to like these ... I have an old pair of Asics in a 1/2 size smaller. As my arches have fallen over the years even more, I've found i needed a larger size. My other shoes are all 11 2E and that's what I ordered (the old Asics are 10 1/2 2E). Not only did this pair seem the same or possibly smaller than the 10 1/2 ... the heel is very narrow and it certainly didn't feel like a 2E. If the width had felt OK, I might have considered ordering them again in a 1/2 size larger, but the narrow heel and the tight overall width was just too much to overcome.

I am returning these shoes because they're too plasticky. The sides especially are covered over with cheap, unventilated plastic. I am wearing a pair of Asics GT-1000 right now, and they are not like that. They have more ventilation on the sides of the shoes. I expected the GT-2000 to be pretty similar, but they're not similar enough. All these Asics, and many other brands, of running shoes are mostly plastic, but this model is the worst I've had. It looks cheap and obviously won't breathe. While I'm at it, I'd like to ask, why do they put dark colors inside the shoes? It only makes the foot hotter and quicker to sweat. My choices are narrowed by trying to find one that doesn't have a dark insole.

I agree with other reviews that this style of shoe has deteriorated. I have worn the GT-2000 for years on my daily 5 mile run. Like another reviewer pointed out, the back area around the heal wore out and it rubs against my heel causing discomfort. (Yes, I wear socks) For about 5-6 years, I have always kept my shoes tied and put them on each day with a shoe horn and taken them off with a bootjack. I can't do that with this pair as the tongue has gotten shorter - I guess in an effort to cut costs??? I also feel there is less support, as other reviewers have noted. Im going to try one more pair, but not expecting tremendous difference. It may well be time to try a new shoe that has the quality the GT-2000 used to have.

I ordered this style to try because I couldn’t get the one I wanted in the size I needed. They didn’t work out for my foot. There was not enough arch support nor were they narrow enough- I’m holding out for the Gel Nimbus in my size.
