Customer Reviews ASICS GT-2000 9

Why are the new model ASICS GT2000 & Gel Kayano womens shoes shorter & narrower??? I have seen many reviews that mention this! I have a narrow foot, & the medium is too tight! Tried the wide today & it is wider but still short. I am at my wits end!! Ran in ASICS for over 20 years, now a walker in my 80’s and can’t get the right fit!!!

I've worn Asics GT for years in 8.5 EE. I loved that they used the proper letter designation for width so I was never surprised. Well, that must not have made them enough money since I can't find that sizing anymore. I ordered 8.5 "Wide" and not only is it snug in the width, it's also a little short in the toes, AND the shoelaces are too short to use the top hole - any good runner knows you need to use them for stability. Those top holes aren't there just for show! They're meant to be used! This pair will do for errands and casual wear but not for serious running or athletics like I wanted. Sadly, after many years of buying Asics, I will have to switch brands to find a good extra wide athletic shoe.

Fit was fine but the soles wore out in under 3 months. not used to this poor quality from Asics.

These sneakers developed a HOLE on top, near the tip of the shoe. I’ve been wearing the same style in the same size for years, but the quality has deteriorated significantly. I don’t expect a sneaker that costs over $100 to get a hole after very little wear.

WAYYYY TOO SMALL! I wear an 11 medium in athletic shoes. These felt like a size 10. My toes were at the end of the shoe and the width was much too snug no matter how much I loosened the laces. Immediately sent them back. If you order this shoe, I recommend going up 1 full size in length and ordering the next width size up.

tight/ short in the toes

I only wore this pair a few times a week. After a couple of months there was a whole in the toe of one of the shoes and I had to throw the shoes away. I will never buy this brand again.

Returning, not enough room for my shoe orthotics, I went with a half-size bigger and wide width and those work fine.

I have had these exactly one year and there is already a hole in the toe. I have other sneakers that I wore for 5 to 10 years and they never developed a hole in the toe! For $129 and regular wear I would expect them to last much longer. I didn’t even wear them at all for several months when there was snow on the ground.

I got these after reading reviews from Podiatrist's, and maybe it's me but these by no means helped my feet or matched what was being said from either the doctors or the reviews. I work on Concrete Floors, and Im on my feet from 6-8 hours a day. 1 hour in and my feet are killing me and I can barely walk. The same as what I was going through, hence why I bought these to hopefully change that. I ordered the B- Medium with and they felt super narrow, rubbed againt my heal and the side of my foot. The material looked thicker in the picture, but they are super thin. They may help for some, and that is great. But for me it's the opposite. And because I wore them thinking yes my feet will finally not hurt, I can't return them. So I am out $119.00 for shoes I can't wear.

ASICS GT-2000 9 (Women’s) Worst running shoe ever, worst walking shoe, worst standing shoe, worst siting shoe, but they look GREAT! Don’t expect to add an insert it won’t help much, plus there is only room for super thin pad for a person with skinny feet. Loosen up the laces “big time” even if your feet are skinny. Only wear them back and forth from the mailbox. If you wear them much longer you won’t understand why you have back pains. Your new back pain are because, athletic shoe companies have switched from a higher heel to a lower drop in the heel, why? Who knows? Why, do they change out different sole supports? These shoes will hurt the bottom of your feet in less than 15 minutes, just stand in them. In addition, you skinny feet people if you don’t loosen up the laces ~ your feet will begin to throb. Well they will still throb, just wear them long enough and you will see. ASICS GT-2000 “men’s” my husband has been wearing them for years. I’ve stuck my foot in his newest “year old” everyday shoe and their comfortable, lots of cushion, not women’s GT-2000. Instead of buying, stand, walk, and run in your heels. Promise your heels will be more comfortable then these athletic running shoes. I've tried other Acics too and they all have gone down heel completely like Nike, but they look GREAT !!!

I've worn Asics for years. I bought these to replace my GT 1000 9. They seemed narrower than my prior pair, they were tight on the top of my foot, and the back of the shoes seemed really low. My heel slipped out when I walked, and the laces were too short to lace up the extra eyelets, that would keep my heel from slipping. I was really disappointed. I had to return these.
