Customer Reviews ASICS GT-2000 9

My old running Gel-Kayanos were to the point of falling apart. A few weeks ago I went to a local running shop to replace them with the latest version, but they were out of stock in my size and I was told they could not order a pair for me The manager of the store recommended these shoes as a shoe comparable in style, fit, and performance. They told me that given my running style and other concerns this pair would be a great shoe for me and that I could return them if I didn't like them. Well, I don't like them and am now told I cannot return them. As someone with chronic stress fractures in my right ankle, it is imperative that I have the right shoe. I was wanting to shop local and trusted the "experts." They are NOT a great alternative to the Gel-Kayano shoe, and will now sadly sit and collect dust in my closet, only to be pulled out as backups. The sizing is the same as other Asics shoes, and I think for the right person these could be your best friend as they are light, well made, and comfortable.

Been running since 1980. After hip surgery eighteen months ago, I wanted a cushioned, supportive and comfortable shoe. I have had many running shoes over the years and know what matters. The GT2000-9 helped give me the confidence to run again and bears comparison with the best of them. Good looking shoe as well!

That the sneaker size runs small! If you are a 9 then go up to 9 1/2 to have more toe room. Especially if you need to place an orthotic in the sneaker:)

The shoes are all right, comfortable, light but under heel cushion I expected to be softer especially for someone with plater feliicies problem, but all the rest are fine

Normally I love your shoes but I think there's something wrong with them, when I walk I feel a click in the arch of the right shoe and it squeaks. It's driving me crazy.

I have worn these shoes for years. I would buy them ahead and be ready for the need of a new pair. The material used for the front toe area has declined in quality and has worn out very quickly. The rest of the shoe looks new except for the holes in the toe areas. I will be looking for another brand now.

This style shoe has given me shin splints while running. Very disappointing I cannot use them. I usually go with a less expensive model however being the runner I am I decided to spend extra for something with more comfort. Sadly, I can pinpoint this style shoe to my shin discomfort.

Good fit, but there was no support for the toes. Felt like very uneven support.

Hi! I have been a faithful buyer of the GT series. About 7 months ago I got this style and noticed that within 3 months, there was a hole in the cloth near my big toe. Usually my asics can last me at least 9 - 12 months before I feel the support getting thin. I thought this was a fluke so I ordered another pair. And the same thing happened within 2 months! This shoe has gone downhill in quality. The fabric is cheap and won't last long. I've never had holes in my asics before buying the GT-2000 9.

Not enough support than previous years. Felt less supportive and lighter and hurt my feet if I ran more than 4 miles. Would not buy again and have worn the GT 2000 for several years. Went back to previous years model.

I liked the look of these shoes. They were really tight when I tried them on, though, and they did not feel supportive because of how poorly they fit. The material did not feel very giving or flexible. I returned them and ordered my regular GT-2000s.

I bought this shoe and LOVE the way it looks. It is a joy to find my size- 12 narrow. However, within a very short time, the toes on both shoes had holes worn in to them. My size is correct so it is not from the shoe being too short. I wanted to love it, and I do love other styles in my size- but this one disappointed and needs reinforcement at the toe. I wish ASICs would offer even more shoes in 12 narrow!!!

I have had Asics before but I don't think these are the ones for me. My ankles hurt after running in them. I do love the color and the style. And the narrow width is fantastic.
