Strange fit by Bob Baine
I bought this shoe (Asics GT-2130) because i have a slight pronation in my foot and i was hoping this would correct it. however, i’ve noticed increased strain on my knees since running in them. it also strains my calf muscles in places (towards the front and sides, which i guess are not really the calf?) i’ve never felt strain from jogging, but i guess that’s just muscle development, which is a good thing. also, be warned, the fit is a little larger than most other shoes in the toe area. it’s snug everywhere else, but my toes feel like they’re just swimming around down there–maybe Asics are made for people with extra wide feet? or maybe you just have to order down a 1/2 size from what you would normally wear. on the positive side, the styling is great.

Great shoe! by Vornado Fan
I haven’t owned a pair of ASICS for some time. The ASICS GT 2130 is a great shoe! I just ran on them for the first time, an easy 30 min around the neighborhood…my wife asked me, ‘How were they?’ - I told her, ‘They are like the Volkswagen Passat, 90% of the performance of an Audi A4 or BMW 3 series, but at almost 40% less the cost!’ - In other words - they are great and they do everything very VERY well. They are stable- but yield just enough, they are responsive - but not out of control, and they are comfortable - but not overly so. Maybe the ASICS Nimbus 9 or Brooks Trance 7 do these things a little bit better, but at 15-20 mi per week tops, and not a marathoner, why pay the extra$$. I should say my current shoe is the Nike Air Volermo, which is nice, but not as responsive on the pavement as the ASICS.

Pros - price, performance, styling (the orange color is killer)

Con - the toe box feels ‘wide’ or loose when just standing around, but this was not evident when actually running.
