Comments about Mens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I have been an Asics fan ever since I blew out both feet to plantar fasciitis and was introduced to the 2140. Ever since the 2140 dissapeared I was not entirely happy with the 2150 or 2160 due to excessive heel slippage and lacing system putting too much presure on my instep atempting to compensate for the slippage. I have been waiting for Asics to correct these issues for years now and they have done a vey good job with the 2170. The tongue is more padded. The PHF padding is thicker creating a nice heel atmosphere and lacing system does not cause the tongue to dig in to the side of my foot. I have heard about the 10 mm heel drop but dont notice the difference. Dont be sucked into stocking up on the 2160. Go out and try this bad boy on. I was sold in 5 minutes when it usually took me 2 hours of indecision, driving the salesmen crazy and lots of hesitation due to Asics past mistakes. I still miss the 2140 but after 3 models later Asics has finally returned the same feel and made it even better! Good job Asics!!

Run about 25 miles a week, worn my first pair during three half marathons so far, training for another half marathon, bought a second pair to rotate pairs.

Only down side is a small hole has developed over my big toes.

I got these shoes to replace my Asics 1170's. Initially I got the GT 2000's and felt they were heavy, and not nearly as comfortable as the 1170's. I read similar reviews and people comparing the GT2000's to the 2170's, so I gave the 2170's a shot.
Well worth the gamble and effort.
I'm training for a 5k (beginner runner) and these shoes are very comfortable, breathe well and cushion well.
I've only owned them for a month, so I don't know how quickly they'll wear out. Pick up a pair, but not in size 11, those are mine :P

Good shoe for medium runs (under 6 miles). I have bought 2 pairs and alternate. The GT 2160's were great. These wore holes in fabric along outside edge of shoe by 250 miles.

Have been a user of the same running shoes for multi years.

Looks goods and does the job for each & every run!

If it isn't broke, why change!

What's Asics trying to pull here?

This review is for the GT-2170s I ordered online in April 2013. I've been wearing the 2000-series for many years. I got my first pair of 2170s last year, and loved them. The latest pair felt like a GT-2000, which I consider a sorry excuse for a 2170 "replacement."

In 2012, the width of the 8 1/2, 2E and 9D felt almost the same to me. The April 2013 version 2170s in 9D were too narrow and seemed noticeably longer than the size 9's I'd tried on in 2012. Also, there was a lot less padding. My immediate reaction: a 2000 dressed up as a 2170.

What the heck is wrong with Asics? First, they ruin a classic shoe. Then they try sell me an imposter shoe. Maybe it's time to change brands.

Delivery was fast and efficient.

I'm a runner & walker - and have always maintained that the best walkin' shoe is a great running shoe. The Asics GT series of shoes serves both purposes well. Have used the GT in the past & will buy again.

Comments about Mens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

Used Asics for the past twenty. Sizing is consistent such that I don't need to test fit the shoes. I order size 10 and has a perfect fit everytime. Top quality, fit, design, and function.

continues in the line of great GT shoes

Bought these for my spouse. He had previous versions of teh 2100 series so ordered his normal size. He couldn't even unbend his toes in these. Wish they could get the sizing consistent. We had to return them.

I am a 63 year old runner who gets in 5 to 10 miles a day 5 times a week. I have been having some problems with my Achilles tendon and have tried different shoes. This one is now my running shoe. I have almost eliminated all pain since wearing this one to run in. Good control!!

Best fitting sneaker I have tested. Great value for the price

Comments about Mens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

Love the shoe. Much better cushioning than my previous shoes. I am still breaking them in but so far so good. I am beginner runner and need a bit more cushioning to prevent shin splints and out of all the shoes I tried on these were the best. Thanks Road Runner Sports!

Comments about Mens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

Very comfortable shoe. Great support & cushioned feel. Light weight. Shipping with the VIP program is outstanding. Highly recommend this shoe.

Comments about Mens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I've been running in the 2100 series shoes for about 4 years and generally like them. They all have their own quirks, but for my foot (narrow/flat), stride (heel striker), and wallet (stingy), this is the best one of the series. It feels cushier and less clunky than the 2150 especially. The other shoes in this line made me feel like I was compromising for some types of running, but this one feels equally good for long runs, track work, tempos, and recovery runs.
