Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I loved the 2150s for years, and was extremely disappointed with the 2160s because they were heavy, stiff and too large in the heel in both width and height. I was convinced they contributed to a few injuries I experienced during my training with them. Obviously I hesitated in purchasing the 2170s, but the phone rep convinced me that all of my complaints were addressed in this new version - and he was right! The 2170s are lightweight, flexible, and the heel fit has been tightened up. I've been running on them for three weeks with zero complaints except that I wish that there were more color options for the D width (which hardly qualifies as a complaint).

I got this to train for a half marathon, it is a good durable running shoe. Very breathable, light and fits like a glove. I run on road, pavement, trails, and sand, a lot of sand, so the breathability lets in more sand but that comes with the terrain. I got custom soles to replace the ones it came with for my high arches, but my shins and knees don't hurt anymore. Great stability shoe, love the color, I got the grey and purple because of the red sand I run in everyday. I think their cool and cute. Love 'em!

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I use these shoes almost every day, and they are really good quality in terms of supporting the foot and cushioning. They're a little heavy compared with shoes with less stability, but its definitely worth a few more ounces to not be in pain. I've been looking for a top quality shoe to help me bounce back from injuries, and these definitely deliver the support I need!

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

These running shoes needed no break-in time. They feel lightweight yet supportive and cushioning.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

Mild over-pronator, shoe recommended by shoe store. I need a shoe with room in the toe box but a narrow midfoot, otherwise I slide all over the place. These have room in the toe but the midfoot is so loose my feet end up slopping around, which contributes to injuries. I also think they sized me up a 1/2 size too big. I doubt I will buy these again. I previously used Nike Pegasus and will probably go back.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

Ordered these shoes after I wasn't happy with the Brooks GTS 12, and I was pleasantly surprised with these! Took them out for their first run on a 85 degree afternoon and they were incredibly comfortable/cushioned right from the box. Not clunky or awkward in the slightest, which was exactly what I was looking for. The only slight downside to these is that they are a bit on the heavier side, but the great cushioning makes up for that. Also, the purple/charcoal color is great!

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I was a long-time Brooks Adrenaline/Trance user, until the newer models came out and no longer have the cushion and comfort I used to love. No problem-o...because Adidas has created the GT 2170s! I wear the DS trainers for shorter runs, and these for my longer training runs (over 10 miles). No break-in period needed, good stability and cushion. As previous reviewers have mentioned, do not size up when ordering these shoes.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I would ignore the 1/2 size up ordering advice! I'm a Kayano wearer, this will be my fourth pair, I was trusting the ordering advice and they were definitely too large. I wore them once at the gym to test on the treadmill and my foot was slipping all around in them.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I have been buying the Asics GT series shoes for about 6 years and have always loved their great cushioning with just enough stability to help prevent injuries (I'm a mild overpronator). Unfortunately, after just a few runs in these shoes I noticed that my feet HURT by about mile 3 or 4. The cushioning was not nearly as comfortable as in the 2160s and other previous models. I've seen other reviews online saying that the shoe is less stable as well, but I didn't notice that as much as the change in cushioning. I think Asics changed some things in their design from previous models(perhaps to make the shoe lighter in keeping with current running shoe trends?), but they definitely sacrificed quality in the process.

Love these series if shoes. Glad I was able to snag a last pair before getting new shoes.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I wear these shoes for taking classes at the gym, running on the road and on the treadmill. Great shoes--4th pair!

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I use this shoe for road and trail running. Comfortable with a good fit that gives a little room in the toe box. I've run these on pavement, sand, wet grass, gravel, rocky downhills, muddy uphills, from 5k's to 10 milers, and they handle it all. After submerging in ankle deep water a couple miles into my last 10k, water drained quickly and shoes stayed light. My all purpose go-to running shoes.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I love this shoe! It is perfect for my running style. Great cushion with great support!

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

This is a fantastic shoe for runners! It did not take a lot of runs to break them in. Love them!

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I'm happy with this purchase, these shoes "broke in" very quickly and are comfortable and supportive, but not bulky. The only thing that would make them absolutely perfect would be if they had a bit wider toe box.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I am just coming off of a VERY high stability New Balance shoe (with orthotics), which helped plantar fasciitis issues that developed after my pregnancy. Now that I'm able to run again, but still mildly deal with the issue, I wanted to get back to a less bulky shoe that still has good stability.
The GT2000 series, was always a good running shoe for me before injury, so I thought I'd go back to them. I've used the 2170s for a week now, at the gym and for running. So far, they have been a treat to wear:) I'll add, they do not run small in sizing. I have more than enough toe room in my normal size.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I bought my first pair after being fitted by pros at a running shop. I normally wear a 10 and my feet are a bit wide; they recommended I go with a 10.5, and it's perfect. I've put over 300 miles into my first pair, which I got at the local shop, so I just a second pair from RRS. I run both on pavement and on trails, anywhere between 3 and 12 mi at a time (and plan to build up for marathons) in all weather conditions, and these shoes have never let me down. I think the people who fit me said that my ankle turns in slightly on impact, so that might be helpful for anyone else considering these shoes. I also have average arches, neither high nor low.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I use this shoe for everything from walking/running to aerobics. I think you should buy them a half size to larger for a proper fit while running. I truly hate that Asics has discontinued this series of running shoe. I have been in this shoe series for 6 years. If it is available in your size, buy it now.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I had heel spurs and was in constant pain. The moment I stepped into this shoe I felt immediate relief. I walk 3-4 miles a day and was able to do this again immediately with this shoe.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

This is my second pair of these exact shoes. I loved the first pair, they feel SO good on my feet, I feel like they give me a push off with every step. I love how they look, the color is great. I felt the material did tear a little soon, but I put over 500 miles on in about five months and I hear that's about how long they should last, so I can't complain. I love, love, love these shoes.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I have been running for over 25 years and always wore Saucony. Recently Saucony changed their running sneakers so I had to find a new one. Road Runner was great, they helped me with choosing a new sneaker. I tried 4 different sneakers before this shoe was recommended and it is great. It provides the Arch support I need and is nice and light with lots of cushion. The only downfall of the shoe is that is is dark gray with pink laces..love the laces, just wish the shoe was more colorful.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I have run in this shoe and love it so much. I prefer it over the new 2000. I stocked up to have some for awhile.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I'm a marathon runner. I found these shoes via a running store 5 years ago. I had used shoe inserts in the past for arch support but no longer need them with the stability in this shoe. I'm on my 10th pair and I can't imagine switching shoes ever. I typically ware a 10 in other shoes but need a 10 1/2 in these. I tend to have wider feed and the standard width works perfectly for me.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I had my feet analyzed at a Road Runner Sports store and was told I needed to use Stabilizer shoes. They recommended Asics. I tried on a couple pair but they were not comfortable. SO I have stuck with wearing Brooks. So recently I was in DSW and came across this shoe Asics 2170 in my favorite color purple!!! Tried them on, bought them and I am super happy with them!! They are ultra comfortable and really support my feet when running or just walking! I would buy these again and definitely recommend them to others! Great stability running shoe!!! Plus I got them for around $50! Can't beat that!

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I have been wearing this shoe for years. I would be afraid to change to another. This one works so well for me.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

This is a great shoe. Super comfortable and handles the impact of road running very well. I've used these shoes to train for several half marathons and they've held up very well. Also, knock on wood, I've been injury-free with these shoes. I highly recommend them.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I purchased most of the shoes in the 2100 series through the years, this did not feel anything like the same shoe. It feels really flat & long and the heel seems lower than the toes, the arches feel like they are in different places in the shoes. I was very disappointed.

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I run 3x a week average 15 to 20 miles. I have had this same shoe 3x in a row. It feels great and perfect for my foot. It doesn't give me any blisters even in marathons. It lasts me about 9 months then I can tell on my arches it's time for a new pair. The big toe usually starts to get a hole about 6 months and I wish it had more colors to choose. But overall love it!!

Comments about Womens ASICS GT-2170 Running Shoe:

I was so bummed when these shoes arrived. I have the 2160 model and LOVE them - but after 2 half marathons I can tell it's time to get new ones. Since I couldn't find them anymore, I ordered these. I put them on and walked around my house and couldn't believe how different they felt from the 60's. The heel was unbelievably tight. I could tell I would have blisters instantly. The 2160's needed no breaking in, and these for sure would have. I returned them the next day and am still searching.
