Sad They won't have narrows anymore

Anonymous runner · Jul 15, 2019

5/5

Overall

Gone through three pairs of these, and they've worked well for me. I wear Powerstep insoles and they fit nicely. Haven't had any trouble with foot pain or impact injury. Version 6 had a pretty low durability, which ASICS seemed to improve on this shoe. Not a fan of the colors, pink laces aren't my thing, but very comfortable and great overall. Unfortunately, ASICS is going to discontinue narrows so I'll probably be switching back to Brooks adrenaline after this pair.

I've been using the ASICS GT-2000 as my road running shoe for 19 years and never had an injury. Whenever I switch brands, like to the Brooks Adrenaline, I get injured.
