I have had 5 pairs of these with no problem. The version GT-1000 3 is slightly different and causes progressive foot pain.

Overall

I would always recommend Asics, they are a great shoe company specializing in shoes made for distance running. This particular shoe was comfortable as usual but I found that this particular shoe easily was showing wear and breakdown quicker than any shoe I have previously bought. Still recommend Asics, Great Company!!

Overall

UK runner (don't know if that makes a difference?) - fit is great for my feet (thin with high arches). Don't seem to be nearly as durable as my running shoes from 70s and 80s. Perfect shoes were original (stability based) Nike Pegasus and Reebok GL-6000.
