It has just been almost a week in this pair of shoes, but several observations are worthy to note. At 67 YO, having had knee surgery on each knee a few years ago, having had Achilles rupture surgery, and being a power lifter, I walk/run 4 miles a day. With this pair of shoes, Achilles tightness is virtually gone, calf tightness is virtually gone, right hip pain is gone (grapefruit size tumor removed years ago). My feet feel fantastic while wearing these. Having the small degree of stability built into the shoe with the right amount of cushioning has made a measurable difference in my aging bones.

I bought the Asics Ortholite women's running shoe and it was over $70. It was a worthless purchase. My feet hurt when I run, it's been hard on my knees, there's not nearly enough support or padding. I would not buy these. I will be buying a different shoe for running and outdoor activities because I can feel everything in those shoes. It's not supportive enough. I do not suggest it.

My true to size, size is a 10. I purchased a 10.5 and it’s a tiny bit too long but after running in them. It’s ok. Extra wide is wide enough. My right foot is a 3E and the 4E fit great.They are really light compared to other stability shoes I have in rotation. I have done some tempo runs and intervals in them.I really don’t have another choice to find 4E running shoes race in.One thing I hate with shoes that are in 4E category. BLAND COLORS!!!

Got a couple of runs in and this shoe is as good as advertised. Very comfortable quite stable and smooth transitions. There is also some versatility here I would say this shoe is good for mostly everyday to tempo, may work well for progression runs. 4/5 as the fit is true to size but the fit is accommodating and with asics shoes break in is needed. Would buy again when I retire my current pair.
Purchased these July 21st and they arrived July 25th. By the 2nd week of September they were falling apart. I contacted customer service and was told that given the amount of time I’d had them they would be covered under warranty. I’ve been loyal to ASICS for over a decade and I’m an avid runner, personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder. Imagine my horror when I received an email stating that this was “normal wear and tear”, that the shoes didn’t fit me properly (mind you I was fitted at a local store and purchased these online through ASICS because my local store didn’t have the color I wanted), and that I didn’t lace them correctly. How incredibly demeaning! I’mdisgusted! Congratulations, you’ve lost a decade + long customer for good! Horrible customer ... MorePurchased these July 21st and they arrived July 25th.

How incredibly demeaning! I’mdisgusted! Congratulations, you’ve lost a decade + long customer for good! Horrible customer experience and atrocious product quality. Please note that I’ve made this experience quite well known on social media. I’m opting for Brooks who stand behind their products. Additionally, I find it completely unacceptable that the customer service representative that I spoke with on the phone clearly told me that given the length of time that I’d had these they would be covered under warranty and indicted that I would be reimbursed once I submitted the photos. Very misleading!I would’ve purchased from ASICS again and given you all another shot since I’ve been loyal to you for so long, but you’ve lost me based on customer experience.
I'm an experienced but non-elite runner who mildly pronates when running slow and strikes mid-foot when running faster. Even for slow, routine runs, I feel best in shoes that have very little to them. For example, I was a BIG fan of Asics DS Racers when they were available--just a little heel in the back and very lightweight. When the DS Racers fell away, the DS Trainers worked well enough too, but now it seems most of Asics shoe lines have thick, chunky soles that force the foot to strike in a certain posture. I debated between rating the GT-2000 13 a 1 or 2. At first, they felt springy and comfortable, but I quickly realized that they severely strained my lower back and hips, causing me to conk out after only a few miles. The instant I tracked down some used DS ... MoreI'm an experienced but non-elite runner who mildly pronates when running slow and strikes mid-foot when running faster.

The instant I tracked down some used DS Trainers I felt like myself again and could get through my typical 6-8 miles with no problem. I wish Asics would keep a line going with similar mechanics to the DS's.
I've tested this shoe for a good couple of months now and am liking them! As someone who 100% prefers a firm ride, I was initially skeptical. As prior to the changes we've all seen in stack heights and increased plushness to midsoles, the GT-2000's were quite firm. But I've thoroughly enjoyed them so far for my long recovery runs. Personally, I like the stable feeling provided by a full-contact mid & outsole, and although cushioned, I don't feel like I'm falling through the shoe.
I recently purchased the GT-2000s 13 for my 5-10km runs and as a preseason shoe for footy. They are an extremely comfortable and cushioned shoe and I feel supported from the moment my heel makes contact with the ground to the moment I push off my toes. You can definitely notice the enhanced cushioning under the forefoot. The transition also feels very smooth and efficient no matter what speed I am walking or running at. I would highly recommend this shoe to those standing/walking for long periods as well as your frequent runner.
These GT 2000 are slightly different to my previous ones. Higher heel guard & thinner tongue. These have orange flashes on the bottom heel area, which would be good for running in evening light. My only criticism is the laces they are still flat laces in slightly round hole they twist & are not easy to undo or pull up. I wish they did this stability in a walking shoe. As I had been recommended this shoe by a foot clinic for over pronation.
mismarked sizes or bad production. Disappointed in the fit. They lie about fitting wide. They don't fit any wide like my husband DD not even close. Return difficult because site does not function. Had to call. Overall, very disappointing. Don't have time for incorrect information. Shoe were also like marshmallows very difficult to walk in Ordered mid support. Would have to order no support. The one rated with most support must actually be dangerous to walk in.
