Comments about Mens ASICS GT-2000 5 Trail Running Shoe:

I've purchased ASICS exclusively for years for their feel and quality. For the first time, and I recognize that models constantly evolve for marketing purposes, I am disappointed in this product. It had a different feel and the shoestrings were sparse at best. They would not stay tied and were flimsy. I changed out the shoestring from an older shoe and moved on. The shoes are six months old but I buy two pair and alternate them but now the fabric of the inner lining is shredded, literally. I'm 63 and through attrition my running partners are more walkers and shufflers than runners so I'm not hard on these shoes. What has happened? I need a reliable brand. American made?

I walk 2 miles a day, every day and have been an Asics fan for over 25 years. This shoe does not match up to what I have been accustomed to expect from Asics. It's a bit too narrow and a bit too short, and the laces are flat and do not stay tied. On the good side, it's well made and has lasted me approx. 500 miles.

Out of the box, on to the feet, ran 8 miles with no break in - felt great! First impression was that it is a very snug fit, but once the feet settle in to the shoe, a CORRECTLY sized shoe is superb. I've been in the GT series for almost 10 years, and although I have tried other Manufacturers and models, I always find the the GT series is the shoe for ME.

Stiff sole. Felt good on very rocky trail running!

I had to return these shoes because they run too small and narrow.

Comments about Mens ASICS GT-2000 5 Trail Running Shoe:

The GT2000 has always been an excellent shoe for me. The GT2000 5 is terrible. I have a narrow foot and this shoe is really tight at the ball of my foot, to the point it pinches, bad. The cushioning in the GT2000 5 is no where close to the cushioning in the GT2000 4. The shoe seems to run a least a full size small. The shoe strings are flat and very thin. When you pull the strings to lace up the shoe, the thin flat shoe laces become very small "strings". This causes pressure points across the top of the foot that become painful in just a few minutes.
In my opinion, ASICS has completely ruined this shoe.

As a frequent buyer of Asics running shoes, I was disappointed with the fit of the GT-2000 5 trail shoe. My normal size in Asics brand shoes is 10.5 - medium width. The GT-2000 5 trail shoe runs extremely narrow. As a result, I had difficulty putting them on and had no choice but to return them.
