Long-lasting and feels right

5/5

Overall

I switched to from Nike to Asics 15 years ago because the Asics sole lasts much longer. I'm never switching back. The shoe lasts a long time and has the right amount of cushioning -- not too little and not too much.

I generally love this shoe (and have run in this series for a long time) but find the durability lacking a bit, particularly in the forefoot cushioning.

Asics GT 2000 7 review

5/5

Overall

I've owned 2 pairs, one during indoor track and one during outdoor. The shoe just worked for me, I've been running in high school for 2 years and have worn many shoes but this shoe feels really comfortable, its very durable as well, and I feel like the shoe almost gives me a "bounce" with each stride. It's a must have shoe in my opinion.
