I think the person who fit me for a shoe set me up in the wrong shoe for me with my foot strike, foot, etc.... Seems like a decent shoe if it worked for me. I just constantly seem to have calf pains in these

Overall

Was happier with the earlier versions of the 2000 before they changed the heel fit and pulled back the asics symbol material on the shoe. It feels less stable. The other shoe I use an equal amount is the DS trainer and its sibling the Noosa. The increase in price for the Noosa reduced its value and the last 2 versions of the DS trainer have proven to be less than what I need for runs over 18-20 miles in the way of forefoot cushioning. I'm definately dropping the Noosa and am looking for a different lightweight trainer now that feels good at more than 20 miles. I've started using the 1000 because it is similar to the older 2010 series. Works well for longer runs but a little heavy and the toebox is a little narrow.
