Review on ASICS GT 2140 Onyx Golden US Men's Shoes for Athletic by Abdirahman Mensah

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great shoes for runners

The fit was pretty snug to the point that it was too tight right out of the box, but a quick 2 mile run on the treadmill loosened them up nicely and now after a few more short runs they are a perfect fit on my feet . I can't say I've ever owned a pair of running shoes that fit so comfortably. The design and cushioning materials used in these shoes excel in performance and virtually eliminate the shin and knee discomfort I've experienced before. I wear them and it makes my workouts much more comfortable overall. However, I now notice a slight discomfort in my hips when running, which I didn't have before, as the impact is absorbed so incredibly well by the Asics GT-2140 in the middle and lower limbs that my hips are now the weakest link for shock absorption and visibility . Style wise I can't say these shoes are incredibly attractive but that's coming from someone who absolutely loves the great modern Nike Shox style but they weren't really bought for the style but for the increased comfort, to aid in productivity, and they really deliver that result in a delightfully comfortable, unmatched way.

Pros
  • Easy to match with different outfits
Cons
  • artificially hard
