Good cushion, fits well on a narrow foot with high arches. Less thrilled with the color and style options. Got some good miles on these ones.

The Asics 1000 was very comfortable running and walking around it is one of the bests

Started running again in 2006 after 3 foot surgeries ended my career 10 years prior. As a 40 year old I wanted stability and cushioning. The Gt 2000 was my choice. Over the years my son and the athletes that I coach wear Asics and particularly this shoe. This Rojo would include the Aussie Princeton Mile record holder!
