Great Training Shoe for 5K Races Nov 14, 2007
By A.Trendl HungarianBookstore.com
"What should I review next?"
I have been running in the ASICS GT 2120s for almost two months. This includes light trail running, track intervals, treadmill, and some grass workouts, totalling around 25-30 miles a week. I have run two 5Ks in these as well. In all contexts, I am pleased with the shoe.
I am a lighter runner with a slight pronation issue. The 2120 provides enough support and flexibility. For my running style, build and foot plant, the shoe wears well. It felt great straight from the box, and I am confident that it will feel fine through the winter.
The one downside is on the bottom. Holes that help provide cushioning an flexibility fill too easily with tiny stones, and are difficult to extract. As a result, the stones join me on each run. The weight is incidental, but it does reduce the effectiveness of the holes. I think better engineering can fix this problem.
Overall, I am pleased with the shoe. I fully recommend the ASICS GT 2120.

Excellent shoe for stability and support. Aug 06, 2007
By William Fong I am a beginner runner and sneaker head. My shoes of choice were Nike and New Balance until I started running for the first time in my life. After a couple of weeks my arch area behind the ball of my foot began to hurt. After a couple of days of brisk walk sessions the pain also rolled up onto the top of my foot. At that point I decided to seek out the advice of a professional running shop. I found one locally ( www.bklynrunforyourlife.com ) which helped me with advice and recommended the ASICS GT 2120. Once I laced up the GT 2120 shoes I immediately felt the difference. This is an excellent stability running shoe which is light and just plain feels good. A great shoe for those with fallen arches as I do or require a stability/supportive shoe to run or walk in. I was able to run in these shoes after a few days of resting my injured foot and I felt great. These shoes helped me from giving up my first attempts at running to making me want to run more. Shoes make the difference and for me these certain did. "Waddle on!"

Best Pair of Running Shoes Dec 07, 2007
By DC Absolutely love the Asics 2100 Series. Just recently upgraded from my Nike 180's to these Black 2120's. After owning Asics 2110's then a Nike 180's to currently 2120, I can assure Nike is all about marketing or the Air system is just not as superior as the gel system; and I'm a Nike lover. The rebound on these are just great and makes me wanna do another Marathon or ponder doing a Triathlon.
I personally don't like the look of most running shoes, including the Asics, but these black 2120's look great, feel comfortable as hell, and I feel like walking or jogging in these.
There was a recent story in the News about most running shoes/athletic shoes in different price ranges having no real relative impact on quality because of the technology that goes on behind making current shoes within $40/50 to $150 range. Bulls**t, these 2120's are far superior and worth the extra cost.

Pile on the miles! Apr 21, 2008
By Bryan D. Riley I love the Asics Gt 2120 running shoes. Finding the right running shoes for your foot type is by far the most important part of enjoyable running and running injury free. I have tried alot of different shoes through the years and the Asics Gt series are the best I have found. The 2120's can take the pounding of hundreds of miles. I put on 691 miles on my 2110's. I don't see any reason why I won't get long durability from these shoes too.

Ran my first marathon in these May 08, 2007
By Michael Bobbitt
"IB Mike"
I have a couple pairs of the 2100s that I loved. I wanted to get a new pair before I ran my first Marathon (Big Sur CA on 29 Apr). I looked around and saw the newer models and decided to give them a go.
They felt great from the get-go. I ran in them for 2 weeks before the race and had no issues with them.
