Best running shoe value, March 5, 2007
The entire ASICS-GT line from the GT-1000 to the most recent GT-2120 are by far the best value for runners!
I used to wear Nike, until I read in Runner's World Magazine that the ASICS GT-1100 was the Editor's Choice for best overall running shoe, so I thought, why not? In the past I've dealt with shin splints, knee pain and plantar fasciitis(a.k.a. really sore feet), but my ASICS 1100s kept me healthy and comfortable, and relatively stylish. I've been a committed Asics devotee since.
I own ASICS Kayano running shoes, which cost $135 - considerably more than the GT series - and truthfully, I find no difference between the two except for the price. Also, there is not much difference within the GT series. I've owned GT-1100, GT-1120, GT-2110 and GT-2120 - all are superior. So, find the style and color to suit your budget - and enjoy comfortable running to your heart's content (or until you rack up 300 miles, after which you should replace your Asics as all running shoes start to lose their support and stability after around 300 miles. FYI - many local track clubs have programs in which they collect retired running shoes and donate them to impoverished children and adults. Spread the Asics comfort! Because though the shoes are no longer optimal for running after 300 miles, they still make great "kick-around" shoes and are cute and fun for casual wear. Sorry about the digression...
If you run short or medium distances (<30 miles per week), this is the shoe for you.

Unbelievable!, November 29, 2006
I started running again after many years. I bought average shoes due to not knowing if I would stick with it. After a few weeks of my feet hurting and feeling like they were numb I went and got fitted for shoes. These shoes had the "ah" factor right away. I didn't truly believe the "shoe factor" that states the shoes are everything. Boy was I wrong!!! They made an unbelievable difference and now 9 months later I am still running and have even entered several races. I wouldn't do it without these shoes. My running partner agrees. Her knees are not in good shape, but she is now doing great with these shoes. We're believers!
