Description of πŸ‘Ÿ The Perfect Fit: ASICS GT-1000 5 Women's Running Shoe Unleashed!

100% Synthetic. Imported. Rubber sole. Impact Guidance System (I.G.S) (Running) : ASICS design philosophy that employs linked componentry to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off. Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Cushioning Systems: Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement on multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle. SpEVA Midsole: Material Improves bounce-back characteristics and decreases midsole breakdown. Guidance Line: Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency. Guidance Line Midsole Technology: Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency. The black specks on the medial side of the midsole are intentional and identifies a section of the shoe in which a technological feature exists. These black marks are not a defect.

Short Laces.: Shoes

I have worn and enjoyed the GT-1000 for many years and it provides the support I need. This pair fits almost exactly like the previous Asics, except the laces are MUCH short. In my experience, Asics need to be broken in for a good fit, so the laces usually need to be adjusted (tightened) for the first few miles, but that's ridiculous. I actually had to take the insoles out so I could slip them on and tie my laces. I'm sure after a few weeks of wearing them around the house they will stretch…

Pros
  • Rearfoot and Forefoot Gel Cushioning Systems: Cushions impact during the impact and takeoff phases and allows for multi-plane movement as the foot progresses through the gait cycle.
Cons
  • Doubtful

Good shoes! But it turns out short and narrow!

I usually wear a 9 C/D so I was surprised that 9 was so short on my fingers. I ordered the 9.5D for comparison and it's still shorter than expected but seems to work well and my toes have a little more room. 9-ku returned with prime and no problems so far. Remember that not all sizes are Prime. My 9.5 is gone. The colors are exactly like the picture and beautiful! The shoes are comfortable. If you have a wide foot don't settle for a smaller size as they feel both a little tight and short. So…

Pros
  • Imported
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Downhill shoes

I love these shoes. I do something between very fast walking/light work at 5% incline for 5 miles a day 6 days a week on a treadmill. Since I just received these shoes, I've only been using them for a week and encountered a problem. They are very comfortable and offer good lateral stability. I thought they fit perfectly until I noticed that by the end of the week the shoes had a small blister on about a third of my right Achilles tendon. My heel fits well in the heel cup BUT the collar at the…

Pros
  • Rubber sole
Cons
  • Big and chunky
