5.0 out of 5 stars ASICS GT-2160, February 20, 2011

Great running shoe very good feel even on first runs with them. I was using muzuno alchemy 7 but I find the gt has better stability for me. The GT also has great cushioning at the heal and box area. I run 2.5 to 5 miles a day.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2160 beats NB 993 for me and my wide feet!, February 12, 2011

Just started running and initially got the NB 993's as they were rated well here. I live in a rural area so couldn't try on running shoes.

Big mistake.

I went to a runner store in VA and went through the fitting process.

I tried on NB, Brooks, Asics, and several models of each.

The 2160's felt more molded/supportive to my feet than anything else including the Kayano 17's.

I have worn the 2160's now several times and each time I run in them I thank myself for getting them!

I don't mind spending $150 or so on a running shoe, but this $100 shoe was superior to me.

Everyone's feet are different so head to a store if you can.

Give these a try if you want 'stability' running shoes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid, reliable, stylish, but pricey and needs update, October 5, 2011

This is my 2nd pair of 2160s after having had the 2150 and 2140 before that. As a runner, I'm following the rule of don't change what works. I'm actually not convinced it's this shoe model that enabled me to maintain a running program finally free of shin splint pain. It might be, or it might be the Superfeet insoles I use in them.

The GT-2160 has a very well-designed sole that wears well and strikes the road with the right feel of stability, comfort, and weight. I like how it looks, and although I mainly use it as a dedicated running shoe, I do walk around in them and never suffer any foot fatigue specifically from this shoe, like I would from others.

My biggest complaint may have more to do with a defect in my own feet and toes, more so than this shoe. I tend to raise my big toe upwards while running and walking. The Asics GT-2160 have a very thin mesh upper. Every pair of this line I've owned, winds up with holes near where this toe raise occurs after around... Read more
