Customer Reviews:
Review #1 Asics! Please change the future models! I never bought a pair of specialty running shoes until around 2002 when I was advised to buy a pair of asics 2070s by a specialty running store. That model felt great and jumpstarted my running hobby. Since then however, every model has become progressively more uncomfortable (with the last reasonable pair being the 2090). Now they have the 2120 which was uncomfortable for me with minimal exertion. They have tightened the midfoot dramatically. I was having tingling in my feet with these after 2 miles. Was able to find 2080s for dirt cheap online and did stock up but of course they are no longer available now. Asics! I'm pleading with you! change back to the old shoe shape or I'll be running in adidas from now on. Review #2 Excellent shoes! This pair of sport shoes are the best I've ever bought. They're nice, confortable and light. I recommend to any person to buy this shoes, won't regret Review #3 Excellent shoe for stability and support. I am a beginner runner and sneaker head. My shoes of choice were Nike and New Balance until I started running for the first time in my life. After a couple of weeks my arch area behind the ball of my foot began to hurt. After a couple of days of brisk walk sessions the pain also rolled up onto the top of my foot. At that point I decided to seek out the advice of a professional running shop. I found one locally ( www.bklynrunforyourlife.com ) which helped me with advice and recommended the ASICS GT 2120. Once I laced up the GT 2120 shoes I immediately felt the difference. This is an excellent stability running shoe which is light and just plain feels good. A great shoe for those with fallen arches as I do or require a stability/supportive shoe to run or walk in. I was able to run in these shoes after a few days of resting my injured foot and I felt great. These shoes helped me from giving up my first attempts at running to making me want to run more. Shoes make the difference and for me these certain did. "Waddle on!" Review #4 Recommended by someone who hates running I've always heard and dismissed the true importance of a good pair of running shoes. After running in these I'm convinced that good shoes really do make a world of difference. I absolutely hate running, and do it only because my job forces me to stay in shape. Up until now I've always gone with shoes in the 20-40 dollar range to run. But after trying these shoes out I actually enjoy running a little more and can really feel the difference in my entire leg. I bought these from a sporting goods store and would recommend everyone else to actually put them on and try other brands. I found other shoes that seemed more comfortable while I was standing but I went with the 2120 series because I think they had better support and would be more comfortable over long distances. Review #5 Ran my first marathon in these I have a couple pairs of the 2100s that I loved. I wanted to get a new pair before I ran my first Marathon (Big Sur CA on 29 Apr). I looked around and saw the newer models and decided to give them a go.
They felt great from the get-go. I ran in them for 2 weeks before the race and had no issues with them.
I liked them so much I bought a spare pair.
They run pretty true to "normal" sizing.
