ASICS Women's GT 2160 Running Shoe Review

Customer Ratings:

I have bad feet and bad knees and a wonky ankle. And I'm obese (was 300 lbs, lost alot, am a bit over 200 now). In need a lot in an exercise shoe for walking. These deliver.

I used to be a total Brooks sneaker aficionado, but since discovering ASICS, my Brooks are barely used. I just find I can walk easier, move faster, and have NO PAIN after a brisk 30 to 45 minute walk. And it makes errands go faster just being able to not worry about feet/joints.

I had the 2150, which is a lot like these. But I do note that I slightly prefer the 2160. I use a size 9.5 to 10W in shoes (mostly 10W, but as I lose weight, my feet are shifting and I'm between sizes sometimes). I have to buy size 11D in ASICS. It seems like they'd be too big, but I find that going up a size works. I tried the 10.5D, and that works okay, but not as well as the 11D. I just adjust the laces to my shrinking food and eventually will need fatter socks (I love the ASICS hera locuts).

I have these now in two colors (yes, love them that much that I paid $100 for each pair, twice). My ASICS collection is now 4 pairs since I discovered them in January. I walk nearly every day, so I need to rotate and be comfortable.

Thumbs up. Great running shoe (though I just walk with them).

But if you want a deal, try to find the earlier model of this one and might find it for a lot less. They are very similar. Almost identical.

Happy exercising!

UPDATE: I've lost more weight, and now the 10.5 fits better, and is even getting a bit loose. I'm wearing a 9.5 and to 10 M in shoes now, and don't need wide. So, if you're a regular width and a 9.5, try a 10 or 10.5 (depending on how much toe room you prefer.)Maybe even need a full size up, depends on your foot, right? I can still wear the 11W with thick sock and really tighten the laces, but clearly, I'll buy a smaller size for future ASICS. Great shoes, though.

UPDATE: I'm no longer obese, and I can wear 10M Asics. I got two more pairs. :D

I ordered this shoe based on a write up in Runner's World. It is everything they said and more. I was a little apprehensive to order a running sneaker on line but trust Runner's World and also know that Amazon stands behind their products and sellers. The service with the seller was wonderful. The shoes arrived the next day and the seller actually called me to let me know that is I was disastified in any way they would stand behind their product and just wanted me to be happy. Would definately purchse from this seller again!

Best Deals on ASICS Women's GT 2160 Running Shoe

I have recently taken up running and bought these for that purpose alone. I have a very wide foot (8.5 EE), which makes buying shoes an embarassing and annoying experience. I bought 3 pairs of shoes, both in stores and online, and had to return them all. Based on some research, I decided to try these. I am so glad I did! Very comfortable right out of the box, and a nice looking shoe, too. I will be buying these from Amazon again considering very few retailers carry the width I need without the shoe looking like it should be worn by my great grandmother and not by someone in their 30's. Thanks!

Honest reviews on ASICS Women's GT 2160 Running Shoe

This is my second pair of Asics women's GT 2160. They are perfect for my feet problems by providing great comfortable support. I thoroughly recommend these shoes especially if you suffer from plantar fasciitis. My podiatrist also checked my previous 2160s and stated that I should stick with asics. Thank you.

I bought these for my wife. She is constantly on her feet and suffers from sore aching feet at the end of the day. After reading the reviews and doing a little research I purchased the GT2160 and she loves them. Her feet feel much better now and the style is also attractive on her feet.
