disappointed that after 2 weeks of use the inner rubber sole on both shoes has come out. Every time I take the shoes off the insole pops out with my foot. Did you forget to glue it?

Not enough cushion but it's nice. Better get nimbus or cumulus next time

They are a little junky. Just a cheap shoe. Narrow toe box. I bought these last minute for summer. I should have done more research.

I gave it a 2 star because the fit was not right. I had already purchased an 8 1/2 GT-1000 8 a couple of months ago and it fit just right. I loved it. So I went and bought the exact same model and size in a different color. The new shoe did not have the same fit. It was smaller for some reason. I was totally disappointed. I had purchased New Balance shoes for over a decade until the shoes stopped fitting properly. I tried Asics and sadly found out that the fit is not consistent. Maybe I should try Nike next.

The 4E is not extra wide. It is MUCH MUCH narrower than the previous Asics I had - the Gel Venture 6. If you need a 4E, DO NOT BUY THIS SHOE. See the images below for a comparison of width. They are nowhere near as wide.

I order a EE wide and these felt extremely narrow.
I ordered an EE in Brooks recently and those were very comfortable. This size was all wrong. Will be returning.
I'd also recommend:

I have worn Asics GT 1000's for 10 years. This version is nothing like the prior versions. There is no arch support, no gel, feels cheap. I'll be returning these.

The old versions of the GT-1000's fit like a glove. I wear a size 16. These were a bit smaller and tighter. I need to send them back.

After approx 16 pairs of various Asics GT-'s I bought the -8, what disaster.
My perception is that an 'architectural' change got implemented and I soon start to get injuries.
I bought the -9 which was much better again except for the very thin upper mesh which quickly started to wear through, much more so than any other Asics I had previously.

Very uncomfortable shoe. Gave blisters on heal every time they were worn, even short distance walk.

Very dissapointed. Ive been buying Asics since I was in the millitary back in 2003. I bought these using the same size I always wear. They are smaller and more narrow. Very uncomfortable. Had to switch to elastic lases just to try to make a little more comfortable.

The shoe is overall reasonable for the price.
However, it's front is made from a thin net, which can easily get caught in something.
This happened to me after just a few times of using it, the net has torn, and now I have almost new pair of shoes that look tattered. It is embarrassing to walk with those in public.
I've contacted ASICS but didn't get any reply.
Of course, I can throw them in the trash and get new ones. But is this a sustainable behavior? I would expect from a distinguished firm like ASICS to have much better support.

Feet hurt after using for less than 20 minutes. Not sure what’s different about the bottoms of these shoes compared to other ASICS but these are the worst sneakers I ever used.

Left shoe curled up more than the right in the toe box. Material around front of toes had a wrinkle in it. Ordered same size shoe as my last pair 10 1/2 4E which the tag says it is. But under the innersole on a tag glued to the shoe it says it is a 10H whatever that is, and it has an RFID tracker on it??? The length was way different than my last pair. I have been wearing ASICS for 20+ years and the quality has disappeared.

The toe box was too narrow, also the netting needs more protection to prevent toe breakthrough.

I've been buying the gt1000 for years now. Have absolutely loved them. Ordered these in the same size and width I have what's ordered them. They show up, and they are smaller cut length wise, and even more narrow than before. I can't return them bc I already threw the box away. They change the cut, Being cheap trying to reduce materials being used. Will not order asics ever again. Very disappointed

Not very comfortable. Has an awkward sole of the shoe in the toe box and where the toes are. The heel support is a bit high, stiff and narrow.

I had the shoes for less than a month and the inside backs have ripped on both sides. Very disappointed.
