Asics GT-2160

The strong medial post gives reassurance to moderate overpronators.

What's new? A groove has been introduced on the outsole to encourage a more efficient gait and its midsole material is now dual density for a softer feel.

I am disappointed in these trainers as always considered Asics to have been a good quality but in future will stick to adidas/brooks & nike which are much lighter & comfier. After wearing my new pair of Asics G Continue reading...

This is the latest of six pairs of Asics that I have owned and except for a brief fling with a pair of Brooks (that I wont ever repeat) I cant see me buying another make of running shoe. Not the lightest or fas Continue reading...

Good high mileage stability shoe but can feel a little restrictive. Standard width fitting a little bit narrow compared to other shoes I own. The shoe does come in different width fittings though. Recommende Continue reading...

I've worn these trainers for 2 weeks now and they are still not at all comfy and far too heavy considering they are made for running. I am 5.45ft and weigh 8.7 stone and they feel like i'm wearing clogs. Very disappointed in these asics gt 2160's.

Well....I'm on my 3rd & 4th pair and I love them. Have been in this series of shoes for yrs and absolutely no complaints. Yes, they are not the lightest but they do what that say on the tin - supportive, stable and durable - I only had to watch my gait analysis once to see the benefit they give me.
Used to have light racers but I race in these too now and I assure you I am not a plodder! A few seconds vs comfort and less soreness post-race - I'll take the latter!
But of course that's my opinion based on my feet, ankles, Achilles, shins, knees and quads. Horses for courses........

if you overpronate severely then not sure if you will find a leightweight shoe that will help that

I've worn these shoes for years and love them. I did splash out and buy a pair of asics kayanos that are a bit lighter and feel good - but they are more expensive.
