Customer Reviews ASICS GT-2000 5

I have been an Asics lover for 20+ years. I used to buy Kayano's religiously. I am a nurse, on my feet all day, even had a second pair for workouts! But Asics have changed! I have tried buying a size or 2 larger, wider, nothing has worked for me. I bought these for my husband, and again, to narrow and the toe box smaller. I thought the GT-2000 would have been a better choice based on reviews, but I'm still disappointed in Asics. They've cheaped out! Now they've lost 2 more customers.

These do run small and narrow - I'm trying a larger and wider size. I've run with Asics in the past and do like them. For some reason these seem to be off on sizing.

These are just terrible. They seem like seconds or irregulars that should be sold at the discount rack. Been wearing Asics for years and these are uncomfortable, poorly made and not true to fit. I would return them but I've worn them running in dirt.

Shoes squeaked

Poor quality construction. Back of heel worn out after only three weeks of walking 2 miles a day. lasted 42 miles of walking only

I am flat footed...and severly over pronate...to the inside....so when I wanted to start running again I needed specialized shoes....these were recommended to me. The day before I got these I tested the Brooks Beast...built for over pronaters like me....they felt solid, very well designed and I especially like the tab on the inside top of the tonugue that keeps the tongue from slipping to the outside...common problem with over pronation.... I went with the asics....as they were 50 bucks less...they came yesterday...UNIMPRSESED....they did not have much cushion, they did not help with over pronation...just felt flimsy and not enginnereed ot help my problem. RETURN Ordered a pair of Brooks Addiction 12, they were $40 less then the beast but had all the features I wanted..including the tongure tab, heavy duty inside arch support...and special stiff rubber on the inside of the show to keep you from over pronating...they are great...lightweight..great arch support...and they keep me from rolling to the inside...lvoe them.....so consider the Brooks Addiction 12 and the Brooks Beast...better shoes then these asics...!

Bought these shoes for my father who walks about 2 miles each morning and after 2 months there was a hole in the top of the mesh in the front of the shoe. Not worth the price!

faulty construction, heel padding crumbling

Barely had these for 2 months before a hole formed in the insoles. Usually I love Asics but this was ridiculous.

I have always depended on ASICS gel running shoes, but these were the worst I have ever experienced and a rip-off for the price. Could they be counterfeit/knock-offs? The fabric liner on the inside heel of both shoes wore away after daily wear, within a few weeks of use, resulting in bilateral heel blisters. They were also too tight at the top of the instep. Not even worth the price of worth returning!
