Women's ASICS GEL-3010

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-3010 Running Shoe:

I've been running in the GT-2100 line for many years, but the latest version (GT-2140) ended up being the worst of the line. I had tried Kayanos before, without succuss, so I decided to give the 3010's a try. The 3010 is the best shoe I've ran in to date. They are slightly firmer than the 2140, and they ride closer to the ground. I've been running in the 3010's for about 4 weeks now, and my times are consistently 30 seconds per mile faster. I have tendonitis in my left ankle, which was aggrevated by the 2140's. It feels so much better since switching shoes. I am a lightweight (105 lbs.) runner, so if you are lightweight too, don't be discouraged by the stability "plus" designation. They just might work for you like they did for me.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-3010 Running Shoe:

Because of major bunions, I bought this shoe because of its bunion window and reputed wide toebox. While the bunion window is very helpful, other inexplicable features of this shoe make it a very poor choice for someone with bunions. In typical Asics style, the toebox is very tapered rather than rounded. For someone with bunions, that likely will result in really uncomfortable, squished toes (even in the wide width). The shoe also doesn't have a lot of depth in the toebox and too many unforgiving, rigid, and poorly placed overlays. In some, I don't recommend this shoe for someone who needs a lot of toebox width and depth due to bunions, despite what the publicity and bunion might lead you to believe. Asics seems to have one basic, narrow, tapered last that it just won't get away from.

I ran a marathon yesterday in these bad boys and am walking around today blister-free with no joint pain, just the usual muscle stiffness. I have a pretty narrow heel but wide forefoot, so I bought these in regular width and just swapped out the laces for a slightly longer pair (to accommodate the wide part of my foot). I'm 5'7" and 135 lbs. I also run in the 2000 series but wanted something with more cushioning for longer runs; these turned out to be the perfect solution!

Ran 7 miles in them straight out of the box, and another 10 in them a few days later. Perfect blend of stability and cushion that I've been looking for. I was having knee aches and pains due to inadequate stability, no aches or pains running in these!

This shoe was fine for the left foot, but the right foot was awful. I ran 3.5 miles straight out of the box. My right pinkie toe had a blister by mile 3. I couldn't finish. I also had a blister on my arch. I ended up walking home. I tried to run a treadmill run today with them, but had to stop after 10 minutes. Don't buy these!

I usually wear Kayano's. However, I did not like the new Kayano 15, so since I had once run in 2140, I tried these. I really love them. Nice forefoot cushioning. Feel like my Kayano 14's.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-3010 Running Shoe:

I had the Asics 2140's and liked them but I also bought the new 3010. I like them alot. Even though they say to order a half size bigger, I didn't and they still fit great. I don't have blisters and these shoes are extremely comfortable. I have a marathon in November and will order these shoes again for the race.

I love these shoes! The stability and cushioning makes me feel like I could run all day.

Outstanding fit and weight. I'm hard to fit but this shoe was perfect.

I bought the Keyanos (sp?) last year, and wanted to try something just a little different this year. I have been an Asics lover since 1999 and went through the 2000 series as a varsity cross-country runner before upgrading to the Keyanos. I am 5'2", 126 with medium low arches. I like to walk in my running shoes for the first day or two before I start running, and these just felt too cushioned. But sometimes that's just the feeling of new shoes after I have spent too long in broken shoes. The fit felt fine. I usually wear 6.5, and these did feel a tad short, but not enough for me to try a 7. Then I started to get the painful tongue pressure where I needed to relace or completely loosen the shoe to release it. I ran on some dirt trails and grass, and they were more sturdy and stable than the Keyanos. I liked that about them. But when it came to pavement, there just was not any responsive feedback. Running up hills was fine when I did about 20 minutes of repeats, but when I finished the hills and returned to level ground, I found my feet beginning the tingly stages of falling asleep. I am going to be sending these back and trying a different pair. They feel like a good pair that would hold up for basic training needs, but just don't provide what I need.

Nice ride--felt like driving a Corvette. Great on shorter and longer runs. No more shin splints or PF.

Small blister on first run, but good after that.

Great if you are a late stage over-pronater

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-3010 Running Shoe:

I've always been hesitant to purchase items online but when I read the reviews about these shoes I was willing to give it a try. These shoes are great! They're very comfortable, give stability, good traction and get you motivated to keep running. I'm very happy about it.

I train for half marathons and marathons and this is my third pair of the same shoe. I'm so sad that it's endangered, so I'm probably going to buy 2 more pairs. I'm bad at change; so when I find something I like, I stick to it.

I have been wearing the 2100's for the past few years--a few months ago purchased the 3010's and love them. Wore mizuno's before that. Currently, have about 350 miles in them and have yet to experience joint pain, blistering, or black nails. Ordering a new pair today before they are gone--may get 2! Best running shoe for me yet--wt 135 lbs.

I switched from the 2100 series to the 3010s last summer. I've been on the treadmill and on the road and after 10 miles had no shin or feet problems, they're super comfy. Love the toebox. My feet aren't generally very high maintenance, though. Just for kicks, I was looking into the Kayanos, but after reading reviews, I will be ordering my second pair of this shoe!

I've been a long time GT-2000 series wearer and on a whim I gave these a try when the came out a few months ago. I've been really happy with them. The toe box is a bit roomier than the 2140 - I had no idea that was just what I had been looking for!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-3010 Running Shoe:

I had been running in asics nimbus gel 10 and 11's for about 2 years. I liked the 10s more than the 11s, tried this shoe due to increased heal pain with the others and i have found my shoe. I love this shoe and I know it has made a big difference in my runs.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-3010 Running Shoe:

I have been running in the Asics 2140 and the trail shoe that is also 2140. I like both of these shoes,so I was interested to read that this shoe is similar to the 2140. I really like this new shoe. I have worn it out of the box to the gym and the treadmill. What I've noticed is that it is effortless for me to wear, there is no break in, my foot feels natural, not like it's being forced into a position or my arch is being forced high, etc. I really like.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-3010 Running Shoe:

Wore them for a 16 mile run and was miserable. They felt big and heavy and for half of the run the bottom of my feet felt like they were burning. I've never had this problem before and found that I had blisters on the bottom of my feet when I finished.
