Customer Reviews ASICS GT-1000 8

They are too hard for my feet, I can't wear it for a long time because my feet get tired so fast

The color in the photo is reddish, but in real life this shoe is neon pink! POOR PHOTO shows wrong color! Change your photo for accuracy! Disappointed...wanted what I saw in the photo!

I returned these. They were SO. HEAVY. And the sole was far too rigid for me.

I have worn Asics for well over 15 years, and this was by far the worst pair I ever tried on. They were so tight my feet went numb, and the nerves in my feet caused excruciating pain. Unless you have super narrow feet, I would not recommend them. I have already returned them!

Worn this ASICS model for as long as I can remember. Never had an issue with the fit before. The 8 has a high and super-cushion heal/ankle area compared to other GT-1000 models I have worn. I did not realize how significantly different this fit was until I ran and got blisters and sore ankles (still sore 10 days later) from this shoe. The GT-1000 version 9 does NOT have this issue, so if you are looking to buy this series of shoe, go with the newer model. Avoid the 8. Waste of my money.

I have been wearing the GT-1000 for years as a runner. I run anywhere from 3-20 mile distances, and the GT-1000 has always been the best fit for me. THIS version of the GT-1000, however, is fitted much more like the GT-2000. It has a high back heel cushion that This model rubs my ankles into blisters when I run more than 3 miles at a time. I buy the GT-1000 instead of the GT-2000 because of the difference in heal cushion...and the GT-1000 8 is built in a way that makes it unlike any other GT-1000 model I have previously bought before (I have used almost every GT-1000 model that has existed). I previously had the GT-1000 9, and that version didn't have the heal cushion issue at all, so if you are choosing to go with the GT-1000, go with the 9, not the 8.

Much too tight so was too uncomfortable to keep. Sent back

Have to order two sizes up. 6.5 ended up needing 8.5

I bought these shoes 6 months ago. I don't wear them every day and use them for walking. Like a previous reviewer, within 4 months, the inside fabric started falling apart and now 2 months later they need to be replaced. This is the second time this has happened to me. While comfortable, I would expect the shoes to last longer than that.

I bought these shoes 3 months ago and wear them twice a week for walking and they have all ready started deteriorating. The back of the heal inside the shoe has ripped and the top of each shoe have holes. Very disappointing as I buy ASICS each year and have never seen a pair with such poor quality.

I have worn the Gt-1000 6( love them) Gt-1000 7 ( not as good but tolerable) but the Gt-1000 8 are just no good. Wore for less than a week and they literally make feet, ankles, knees, hips and back hurt so bad had to take off work.
