For me these were torture. I bought 2E that felt more narrow than my 2130 2E pair. They are cushiony for walking, but give no ride or pushoff when running.

I needed new shoes but only have a month until my marathon--so I figured I'd better break them in quick. My first run in the new 3000's was a 19 miler and I didn't have even a hint of a blister. New shoes always give me blisters! I switched from the now-defunct Empire II. I find these feel simil...

asics used to be a sure bet, but now a gamble - these were both dead on arrival - no bounce power, and felt clunky - like running in old flat converse sneakers. Can't somebody make a cushioned shoe with a bit of control, that actually feels "new" when you first use it?

Came to this shoe via a recommendation from a running store. I kept getting black toenails and heel pain with the gel-Kayano 14. I am a high-mileage runner that has now run an Ironman and a marathon in this shoe. It has performed great! No problems with stability or support.

I own this shoe, looks pretty , felt good until running some distance. This is not a stability shoe, after a mile it feels like I am running in a flat-footed sneaker. I will wear it to the gym an thats it, no running, my feet are numb after a mile.

This shoe is amazing! It's a stability shoe. For me, I really like solid foundation in the back and soft front. These shoes are really comfortable to me and probably are the best shoes I have ever ran in!!! Everyone has a different preference for shoes because everyone has different feet. Everyone s...

Mon, June 02,2008:
I have worn many Asics models, but this model seemed to fit differently than typical Asics fit. The shoe felt very sloppy on my foot; the heel is much wider than other Asics models, and the tongue on the right shoe was about a half-inch shorter than on the left shoe. I tried different lacing patte...

WOW!!! I'm TOTALLY going to listen to you!!! The reasons you gave are so TRUE!!! Pfft... boo hoo. RR sports rules.

12.6 ounces is "too heavy"? I did not know that. So what should these shoes weigh?

11.    Lou rated this product 3 stars
Fri, April 18,2008:
Shoe felt great in the store but is too heavy for running. Might work for a 200 pound guy but not for the average runner. Just an expensive walking shoe for me.

12.    Bud rated this product 2 stars
Fri, April 04,2008:
disappointed, not an improvement on the 2100 series, too stiff, and heavy, doesn't feel like a Stability+ shoe, I keep thinking that this must be like wearing Dutch wooden shoes feels like.

Wed, April 02,2008:
These are working out nicely so far. One thing you notice right away is that this shoe has a very nice toe off. My only real complaint after 40 miles in them has to do with the tung which is constantly sliding way to the side out of place. It seems that it's either not long enough or that the lace ...

I just came back to Ascis after running in NB for the last 10 years and I am not disappointed. The 30000 is solid shoe which is comfortable and has decent cushioning. After 75 miles have no complaints. 6'4 220lbs

This shoe felt great on my foot as soon as i put it on.Has a surprisingly cushy feel and the outsole design in the f/f works well on groomed trails.Sightly heavier than my old Empire 2's but Asics did say it is a closer cousin to the Evolution than the 2000 series.

felt like i was running with 10 pound weights on my feet!!!. terrible shoe.

These feel great. No rubbing. A little bit on the heavy side, but hey, they are trainers. I popped the RRS Cush Runner insole in place of the stock one and can't complain about the cushioning. My Vomero 2's were giving me some wicked PF pain toward the end of their life. Once I started in these...

I'm a 250 lb guy and have ~50 miles in these shoes. Ride is exceptional, heel stability is good (maybe contrary to other reivewers?), without any chafing points for me. Arch-forward stability is less apparent. Orange ain't my favorite color either but so what? Definitely suggest you buy a half-size ...

This shoe has very little cushioning for a Stability+ shoe and at this selling price. They are heading back this week!

Do not work for me at all. I have run happily in Creed, Creed Plus, Empire II (skipped Empire)...but something about these does not work for me - almost instant heel/achilles pain, blisters on side of big toe...I loved the Empire II sorry it is no more...I think I will try the latest GT2xxx shoe.

Love them. Like the original gel empire. Plan on buying another 2 pairs, in case they stop making it.
