5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Perfect, March 2, 2009

By	S. Santos (Brasilia, DF - Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love being back with Asics, September 6, 2009

By	NewRunner (Arlington, VA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Shoe, September 8, 2009

By	H. Strock "Recreational Runner" (Quincy, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a recreational runner and run between 3.5 and 5.5 miles 5 days a week. I am also 6'3" and 230 lbs. and as a heavier runner, really appreciate the durability and comfort of this shoe. I also own a pair of 2130s and like them very much, but find the 2140s just a bit more comfortable to run in. I would highly recommend this shoe, especially for heavier runners.
