Review on 👟 ASICS GT-1000 9 Men's Running Shoes by Darrell Beecher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable but flawed

They are very comfortable and have good stability but I honestly think they are inferior to the GT-1000 8 overall. I stop every 1.5 miles to put both shoes in because they have flat laces compared to the 1000 8 round laces that don't untie at all. We need to stop running to answer a call, answer an important message, or maybe shake the sweat out of our headphones, but not to constantly tie our shoelaces. It's boring lol. The soles also burned out much quicker than the GT-1000 8s, which suffered greatly from my general usage. I run literally every morning, usually 4-6 miles (unless it's raining) and my GT-1000 8s lasted about 4 months and their soles lasted me maybe a little over 2 months? Again, they're comfortable and I liked them, but overall they let me down in terms of durability. I will be ordering another GT-1000 8 color scheme because personally I have great respect for them and you can buy them for a lot less than these! I hope the GT-1000 10 takes the durability and laces of the 8 and combines it with the comfort of the 9. These would be the perfect running shoes!

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Something different
