You get what you pay for and that's a GOOD thing!, August 16, 2009
This review is from: ASICS Women's GT-2140 Running Shoe (Apparel)
First let me say, this shoe is a God-send!
Normally, I'd go to an actual running/walking shoe store like Pacers to buy my running shoes. But this most recent trip of mine, I didn't want to drive the 56 miles one way and blow the gas. So I went down the street to Famous Footwear. I intended to replace my worn out Asics Gel-Enhance III's ($69.99) with a new pair of the same.
Then I stumbled across these. They looked almost exactly the same as the Enhance and so I wondered what the difference was between them (besides the $99.99 price tag on the 2140's). As soon as I tried them on, I figured out why and the price became a moot point---they had to be the most well-cushioned, supportive running shoe I'd ever slipped my feet into! Just to be certain of the comfort level, I took one of the 2140's off and slipped on an Enhance shoe and walked around the store with the 2 different shoes on so I could feel the difference. It was remarkable! The 2140 had superior cushioning throughout (including the toe) and better arch support. I couldn't believe I was finding a shoe like that at a common shoe store! So I grabbed a pair.
Being a regular runner (3-4 times a week at a couple miles per run) and one who runs mostly on asphalt, my feet take quite a pounding. I've had significant trouble with Charlie-horses in the arches of my feet after my runs, even after wearing the Enhance shoes. After running in the 2140's for about a month now, I've had virtually no trouble whatsoever. Nor am I having any knee issues. Suffice it to say, if you plunk down a hundred bucks on these, you'll get your money's worth and your feet will thank you for the sacrifice!!

Extremely comfortable-even if you're new to the excercise game, June 5, 2009
This review is from: ASICS Women's GT-2140 Running Shoe (Apparel)
I was suggested this shoe by a salesperson in a brick and mortar store as an excellent cross-training shoe, even though it's technically a running shoe. (I have a pair in black, and always get asked where I got them when I'm in the gym)
I am a beginner at working out, but have to say that even for a newbie who weighs more than she should, (and therefore has feet/ankle issues) these shoes are by far the most comfortable, supportive "tennis shoes" that I have ever worn. An hour at the gym, or walking in my neighborhood, and my feet are no worse for wear. Even wore these when doing day-long (6:00 am - 7:30 pm) walk-thoughs at hotels and downtown events, and was still not complaining at the end of the day.
Definitely worth the price!!!
