Love this shoe!,
I am in love with this shoe! Currently wearing the Gel-Nimbus as a basic runner and was in need of a new training shoe to replace an old pair of trainers. I came across these at the Boston expo and tried them out along with several others. This shoe was the standout among the bunch. The Sky Speed fit like a glove right out of the box and required no “break in” time at all. They are light and flexible and perfect for the tempo, interval and pace training during my marathon training. They offer a nice, smooth ride with lots of feedback from the road. And the color is awesome too! An excellent addition to the Asics family.

|Excellent running shoes,
It only took about 11 days for the shoes to arrive in Afghanistan. They have performed as expected. Excellent quality and comfort. I could have probably gone with a wider version but these are fine for the 5-6 miles a day I run. There is no heel slippage that I tend to get with other brands. I’ll buy another pair when these wear out.

|Solid, reliable, stylish, but pricey and needs update,
This is my 2nd pair of 2160s after having had the 2150 and 2140 before that. As a runner, I’m following the rule of don’t change what works. I’m actually not convinced it’s this shoe model that enabled me to maintain a running program finally free of shin splint pain. It might be, or it might be the Superfeet insoles I use in them.
The GT-2160 has a very well-designed sole that wears well and strikes the road with the right feel of stability, comfort, and weight. I like how it looks, and although I mainly use it as a dedicated running shoe, I do walk around in them and never suffer any foot fatigue specifically from this shoe, like I would from others.
My biggest complaint may have more to do with a defect in my own feet and toes, more so than this shoe. I tend to raise my big toe upwards while running and walking. The Asics GT-2160 have a very thin mesh upper. Every pair of this line I’ve owned, winds up with holes near where this toe raise occurs after around 5 or 6 months of wear. This could be prevented if they would have designed a slightly larger outer protective area near the big toe. There is an added outer layer meant for this, but it falls about a half inch short, in the spot I need more material to avoid this issue.
Otherwise, the rest of the shoe holds up very well. I just completed 450 miles of training on the prior pair, which I now use playing around the yard with my kids and short walks. I ran a 3:40 full marathon in this new pair I just bought, a personal best, my 3rd marathon at age 40. So I can’t complain much, and I’ll stick with this model, but wish it was about $20 cheaper, as I think this level of running shoe technology should be. $95 every 6 months for mostly mesh and hard rubber.

|Great high mileage joggers,
These joggers fitted perfectly.They are incredibly comfortable and supportive.
The cushioning is the best of any jogger I have worn.
They are very stable when jogging on non sealed surfaces such as grass and sand.
They have excellent breathability and do not get hot or sweaty.
The lacing system works very well and enables a snug fit.
I have had many admiring comments on the colour scheme.
A refreshing change from the standard white shoe.
They are one of the best value high mileage joggers on the market.
