Asic's key focus for the GT-1000 11 shoe was to make it softer and smoother. Designed for an active lifestyle, this shoe is functional for running or wearing to the gym. FLYTEFOAM cushioning in the midsole is tuned with a lower density than the previous version. Teamed with GEL technology, this combination creates softer landings and smoother transitions. LITETRUSS technology is placed on the midsole’s inside angle to reduce pronation. It helps produce a more supportive stride while keeping overpronation at bay.

ASICS GEL GT-2000 11 2E 'Wide' (col 004) Running Shoes - black - 12

Something changed with this version; I am getting a blister below the joint between the big toe and the 1st Metatarsal on my right foot; just where you would expect a bunion to form. I have worn ASICs GT-2000 family for over 10 years and have never had this problem before. I am using the same size and width, and the same socks. It feels like the ball of my right foot is bottoming out more easily. I know that the insert material is new, so I will try swapping it out with inserts from my old 8s or 9s to see if that makes a difference. Right now I am limited to short runs and am rotating between these 10s and the 9s and 8s hoping the blister will go away. These short 5+ mile runs are only for training; I need a half/marathon shoe and this can only be a trainer for ... MoreSomething changed with this version; I am getting a blister below the joint between the big toe and the 1st Metatarsal on my right foot; just where you would expect a bunion to form.

I would give the previous two versions 5 stars. These previous versions were an improvement over previous models, feeling lighter, better ventilated, more cushioned, and importantly, it is harder for my big toe to blow through the top of the shoe. This blow-through is usually a cause for shoe retirement, along with just hitting my arbitrary 400 mile limit.

I usually get tendon issue whenever I take long walks without the proper foot support. I have been wearing GT-2000s for many years and have had various versions. With the exception of one version, which might have been too narrow for me, all the versions were immediately very conformable, light weight, and held together well right up to the point where they no longer provided proper support (12 to 18 months). This current version has so far been as good as an other version I have had. The fabric of the shoe has been updated, which give the shoe a fashionable look; a few people have complimented me on these "cool shoes."

Finally Asics has come out with a shoe with a lower heel-toe offsetof 8 mm. I wear a 3/4 orthotic in my shoes to help with my high arches and need this low offset for comfortable running. These are fantastic. They feel light and fast and look great too. The price is reasonable if you catch them on sale. I would like just a little more forefoot cushioning but other wise these are the perfect shoe for me.

I actually bought these for my son--Here's why. I was complaining to my son that as I got older my feet got wider and that I couldn't find a comfortable pair of athletic shoes. He told me about his Asics GT-20000 10 4E (Extra Wide) and let me try them on. They were incredibly comfortable but a bit too wide so I bought the GT-2000 10 2E for myself. Hands down, the most comfortable pair of athletic shoes I ever owned! So, I bought my son a new pair of GT-2000 10 4E shoes as a thank you gift.
I've worn GT-2000s for many years and this 2000-10 edition is the most comfortable yet. I felt the GT-2000-8 ran a little small in the length, but the model 10 fits like my favorite earlier GT-2000 models. I have a slightly wide forefoot, too, and the flexible material fits without any pressure or chafing in the width. I opted for Sheetrock Blue because I'm not of fan of some of the current flashy/loud color schemes. It looks adult enough to be worn without feeling silly. Quite happy with these shoes.
I took my daughter to the store to get fitted with shoes and custom inserts. She plays sports and has ankle issues. After 3 months, these were starting to fall apart, so I figured it was from daily wear. Ordered another pair so she would have a fresh pair for the new sports season. Not even 3 weeks in and they started falling apart. Just like the older ones. We are talking flaps of material coming apart on the bottom of the shoe. How is that even safe?!? So frustrated!!! I will never buy another pair of ASICS!
Ignore the hype about the foam midsoles and "guardrails". For a second year, Asics has decided to make this model TOO MUSHY and TOO SOFT to be a true stability shoe anymore. Also, no longer is there an external "bridge" piece embedded in the midsole. (Sounds like cost-cutting to me). So, what is a traditional series GT 2000 wearer to do? Look elsewhere, of course! Find a Version 9 somewhere if you can but AVOID the versions 10 and 11.
The laces were too short. I bought two pair before and one pair had 56 inch lashes and one pair 48 inches. I have been given lame eyelet numbers excuses from customer service which is a loss of bunk. I have tried to get the company to be sure and put 56” laces on all Wife and extra wide shoes. This company not only doesn’t listen, they could care less. “I’ll pass your request on to the production department” was the lame response I received. As a wide foot with a narrow heel shoe wearer, the extra eyelet is imperative, but this company ASICS could not care less. If you have wide feet stay away from this brand.
Right out of the box this shoe was simply excellent. Fit was to size, good but not excessive stability, cushioning but also enough firmness to ensure that my foot plant didn't have wasted motion, something that will make me hate a shoe on the first run. I've been running since 1978 and a shoe like this is why and how I continue to put in 4 or 5 mile runs 4 days a week. Of course, the right running shoe for me may not be for you. For a heavier runner (I'm 135 lbs) or for someone who pronates more than I do, this shoe might not have the necessary cushioning or stability. For someone with a rigid, high-arched foot, it may have too much. But if you know yourself and your feet, this shoe can be as good as they come and better than most.
I've been wearing Asics footwear for over 10 years, so I'm pretty devoted to the brand. I love the styling and the support they provide for both my walking and running. And since I have plantar fasciitis, I really need excellent arch support and stability.Sadly, I also have wide feet. And as anyone who runs/walks and also has wide feet, you know that footwear manufacturers do NOT cater to this market. Your choices are far and few between. Until recently Asics offered a decent selection of shoes in my size (11 4E). However my last two purchases (Gel-Nimbus 23 and this model, GT-2000 10) are not comfortable right out of the box. They have to be broken-in. Oddly, I didn't have that issue with the Gel-Nimbus 22, so when that model was discontinued, I was hoping that ... MoreI've been wearing Asics footwear for over 10 years, so I'm pretty devoted to the brand.

Same with this model.So my advice to my fellow wide-feet runners is to break these in with moderate walks and/or a shoe stretcher, because the last thing you want is to commit yourself to a serious run and your little toes feel tight and cramped against the outside of the toe box.
