Customer Reviews ASICS GT-2000 8

I have only had these shoes approximately 3 weeks. I'm a nurse, & already a small hole is appearing where my big toe is, which is very disappointing. The arch supports are adequate, but the material isn't a good quality I'm sorry to say. I only buy ASIC shoes, so this shoe was a bad choice.

I was thrilled to find narrow running shoes! Finding athletic shoes for my long, narrow feet has been a lifelong challenge. Unfortunately, these have a stiff, cheap feel that is disappointing for the price point. They are narrow in the toebox, but not particularly narrow in the heel which is where I need it most. Bummer. Maybe one day shoe manufacturers will realize not everyone has regular or wide feet.

I loved the GT 2000 7's but the 2000 8's are a narrower fit and were catching me slightly across the instep. I even tried the half a size up but they still caught me. Disappointed as they look great and I loved last years version. My feet aren't particularly wide so be careful when buying.

I did not find these comfortable and they looked cheap. I think the 1000-7 were much better!

I ordered 2 different colors because I couldn't make up my mind. Both shoes are going back. I read in a review somewhere that the toe area collapses, a crease forms. I thought I'd try them anyway because it might not happen on all of them. If you don't like this happening on your shoes, pass these up. Both pairs creased. I am very disappointed because I really like them otherwise. Guess I need to check out other brands because I can't find Asics that I like anymore. They are all I've worn for as long as I can remember.

disappointed because this show was too long and too wide, even when I ordered my standard size

Love the shoe. I have low ankles, so the side of the shoe hits my ankles and will cause friction. This is usually an issue with shoes either manufactured or designed in Spain or Brazil, and generally not a problem with Italian designed shoes, but since most shoes are made in China these days - who knows what the design preferences are. Since Asics is a Japanese company, I expected the shoes to have a better fit.

I generally don't by running shoes online. I like the option to try them on and run a few blocks in them to get a feel. But with Covid i had to buy them online this time. Sadly these aren't not my favorite running shoe. I'm normally an ASICS girl. But these don't provide enough cushion or support that my foot needs. If you're looking for an attractive shoe to wear casually then these would be a better choice for running errands.

They are cute and get plenty of compliments. However, they are very uncomfortable. These newer shoes are not like they used to make them.

Didn't work for me, too narrow and not enough support. My feet started hurting after walking a mile.

My feet were in so much pain after using them. Just was not good for my feet, may be different for others. I used it for HiiT and running & i have normal arched feet.

Unfortunately I am returning these because they were way too narrow, even the wide ones. They cut off circulation to my feet and were painful to run in.

I bought these shoes a few weeks back and was very excited as I have purchased Asics before and loved them and never had any problems. But these shoes were very tight and rubbed so bad against both my heels I had the worst blisters. They felt very tight against the top of my foot and like cutting off circulation to my baby toe. I was disappointed but will order the shoe in a larger size and hopefully this fixes the problem as the other reviews have been great. But definitely recommend anyone to go up at least half a size.

I've been wearing the GT 2000 for 20+ years now, always a 7.5 standard width. I thought I'd try the new knit version, mainly because I liked the color choices better. As soon as I tried these on, I knew they were way too narrow. The heel was quite tight, and my forefoot was bulging out the sides. Trying them out inside, just wearing them to stand in at my computer, was too much, my feet went numb after ~10 minutes. Having now ordered the "normal" GT 2000 8 version in a standard width, I'd say this knit version fits far narrower than the normal shoe. If you tend to have narrow feet you'd probably be fine in these, otherwise stick with the non-knit shoe.

Ordered. They run small and was too tight. I suggest sizing up.

The tongue floats to the outside of my foot. Not comfortable after about five minutes.

I bought this shoe and love the way it looks but it's not comfortable at all. Extremely hard heel and sides were super uncomfortable. These got returned.

Stiff and not very comfortable. Wish I hadn't worn them to work so I could return them.

This sneaker is short. It appears that the footbed has been made shorter in order to save some dollars for Asics. Love to return these shoes, but I live in Mexico and am unable to return them. And, the quality is lacking- certainly not like the shoes I used to buy. VERY unhappy.

The eyelets are felt with no covering like years before therefore they look like they will tear easily
