Customer Reviews ASICS GT-1000 9

Loved the shoes but my orthotics don’t fit in them since the heel of these running shoes is pretty narrow. Have to return them! :(

Too tight for me. Good for someone with slender feet! Style was nice, colors were good...

There was not enough padding in the sole of this product. This seemed especially true for the toe area. I am exchanging it for a better product.

My only complaint is that the tongue is quite flimsy and as you put the sneakers on, it slides up toward the toes and is difficult to grab.

Just not comfortable to me at all.

I thought the GT-1000 9 was going to be the Holy Grail shoe, but it's actually not nearly as good as the reviews make it out to be. First of all, it runs almost a FULL size small, which seems crazy to me. I wear between a Size 8.5 and Size 9 in regular shoes, and bought both the 9.5 and 9.5W in this GT-1000 9. The length is long enough, but only barely. To make matters worse, the entire toe box seems floppy and thin, like your toe might poke through the mesh after a few weeks. The "reinforcement" is on the inside, rather than the outside, but it feels inadequate, and doesnt extend up around the top of the toe enough. Secondly, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, because the shoe feels like it make you overpronate MORE, not less. There is no support under your big toe or "index" toe, and it feels like it's guiding your toes to roll inward. I don't really understand how everyone is writing such glowing reviews for this shoe. I've also tried the Gel Contend 6, which was much too floppy, and the Gel Pulse 12, which is fine, but not Holy Grail....

These felt wide enough in the toe box, but the shoe felt odd on my foot. The arch felt too far back on my foot. (I have wide, flat feet and have worn Brooks Adrenaline (regular width) for 10 years. The last year or so, the Brooks Adrenaline and even the Dyad, caused a sore spot on the outer edge of my foot at the pinkie area, but the wide width versions were too wide.) I was hoping this would be a replacement, but it just doesn't feel right.

I have worn the GT-1000 series for years and loved them, but this didn't fit properly, especially, but not only, the right one. In fact, at first I thought you had sent the wrong size, but when I checked it was my usual size. Then I wondered if it was mismarked, though that seemed unlikely. Finally, decided I had to return them.

These only lasted for about 2 months. I had to throw them out. They broke down so fast and my foot was rolling. The bottoms did not wear well either. I loved the look and initially they felt great. One of the worst pairs of ASICS in support I’ve even owned.

These shoes fit well, they just weren’t the support I needed to they’re going back.

The shoes are very narrow and do not fit a medium width size foot. However, they have very nice cushioning and would be very comfortable shoes if they were true to width.

Ive been wearing Asics for a while, but these were way too small, returning for a larger size!

My big toe popped through early on in this shoe. They were not too small. It is the way the shoe toe is designed.

When I purchased these shoes, they were extremely comfortable. They were supportive and snug (which I prefer). Unfortunately, after a few months of normal wear, the mesh on top developed holes where my big toe hits the top and has worn out the liner. I realize that I walk with my toes flexed, but for the amount I spent on these shoes, I was unbelievably disappointed.
