Great shoe for over 10 years

4/5

Overall

I have used the Asics GT 1000 (or its previous versions) for at least 10 years and I love them. They last over 500 miles with no noticeable wear and tear. I am 6 feet, 175 so relatively big for a runner, and put in about 27-28 miles a week on them. They are a little bulky but I am more than willing to trade support for speed. I have no foot issues so don't need any special orthotics - I just lace them up and go. I will keep using these babies for the foreseeable future.
