User Reviews
This my second pair of this shoe. It fits well, offers good support and is comfortable during physical activities. Good shoe right out of the box
My husband loves these shoes. I have ordered them numerous times, and this is the best price you will find. They look great, they are high quality, super supportive and comfortable, and an unbeatable value.
Still breaking it in, but the shoe fits very sell, is very supportive, and has a very firm, maybe too firm, sole. This is needed for the support and supination control, but is possibly a bit too firm, not soft enough for me. After 45 minutes on the stationary bike or elliptical I start to get some numbing in the bottom of my feet. Gut overall good shoe if you need arch and supination support.
Fits well my wide feet. The top material is stretchable, providing comfort and breathability.
I have been running again over the past year after a decade off, and as I am putting on more and more miles I decided I needed to upgrade to a stability running shoe. I had been working out and running in cheaper ASICS for a few years because they all come in 4E and fit my wider foot really well. But I decided I needed something a little more stable. For the price you pay for the GT-1000 for the support and fit it provides is excellent. This comes in 4E as well, so it's a great shoe for an overpronator with wider feet. I just bought a second pair. Probably the best value you will find with a decent stability shoe. Some reviews say the toe box is tight, and the extra wide version is a tiny bit tighter than most ASICS, but it makes for a more secure fit.I don't think someone who has no overpronation would probably like this shoe though. The post on the inside of the shoe is pretty rigid. You have to be looking for a stability running shoe to appreciate this one.
I've been running (now fast-walking) since 1972. These are a well-priced and designed for those with pronation issues. If one has major pronation (foot rolling inward - sometimes due to collapsing arches), it would be helpful to have a custom-fit orthotic to help more. The vast majority of knee issues (non-accidental and non-congenital) are due to weight and/or incorrect foot roll. If you like to wear Asics and like wearing the less expensive Asics Contend models, these fit pretty much the same. These are not designed for a cushiony effect but are a stable and relatively firm shoe in the forefoot. Of course, one can always use a different insole as the ones in these are removable. I personally wear a 3/4 orthotic underneath the insole provided. I have an average width foot and the toe box is plenty large. If needing an Xtra Wide Shoe, New Balance has a good variety and Nike has some as well.
Great shoes for jogging.
Very comfortable customer appreciated it.
