Asics has been my favorite brand for the past 2 seasons. This is my favorite training shoe for this season. Excelent cushioning and support. I'm 6ft and 92kg with mild pronation so this is exactly what I need to help prevent injuries. Anyone coming from the 2130 shoes will not be disappointed. So far I think it's even better than the current Kayano.

This review is from: ASICS Men's GT-2140 Running Shoe (Apparel)

Am a new runner who started running 5Ks, 10Ks, and a single 10-miler in 2008-09. Started out with Asics, and knowing little about running shoes, kept looking for bargains. Ended up with Sauconys and Nikes for a while. Also ended up being sore around my achilles and knees for a long period of time. Finally went and got fitted at a running store and they recommended Asics Gel Nimbus - expensive, but a smooth ride. Developed some serious knee pain over time and finally went to a podiatrist for advice. Turns out the Gel Nimbus were too soft, especially in the heel for my running gait. Also turns out that one leg is 3/8 of an inch shorter than the other, this being the biggest cause of the knee pain. Podiatrist provided a list of acceptable running shoes, including the GT-2140s, which he said would be firmer in the heel. He also provided a 3/8 inch lift which he said to put under the sole of the shoe on the shorter leg.

The GT-2140s have completely transformed my running experience. They are firm but provide just the right level of support for my gait. Best of all, I run more or less pain free and there is nothing better than that after a year of gritting my teeth as soon as I hit mile 4 and pushing through. Now I am training for a marathon and I have put 150 miles on these shoes in the past seven weeks and they are holding up well. I hear that these are going to be discontinued soon, so I feel like I will be buying at least two more pairs before that happens! Highly recommend these shoes for runners who don't over-pronate, but who need stability and a firmer heel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Make absolutely sure the arch support is right., September 30, 2009

This review is from: ASICS Men's GT-2140 Running Shoe (Apparel)

This shoe had fantastic reviews everywhere so I went to the local store and bought them. I have slightly wide feet(just not wide enough for a wide size), have medium arches and wear support shoes because of my particular pronation.

I bought a size 10 (Also the size of my Gel-Kayanos) after wearing these shoes and walking about a bit in my local store. The shoe fit well all around. The arch support felt a little high and a little more towards the fore-foot than usual. I thought they just needed breaking in. I couldn't have been more wrong. Within a few runs I had terrible pain in the arches of my feet.

Try them on and ensure that the arch support is just right and in the right place. The shoe will either fit your arches perfectly when you first wear them or it it never will. If you feel the arch of the insole even a little more than your old running shoes, don't buy them. Except for this little idiosyncrasy it is a good shoe.

The Gel-Kayanos are a little more expensive than these but they are fantastic and well worth the price difference and then some. You can't match the comfort and support of the Kayanos even if you insert a $50 insole into these shoes (I have tried several).
