Review of ASICS Men's GEL-3020 Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

I suffered from plantar fasciitis, and could never find a shoe that seemed to help the problem of over-pronating. Finally, I found these babies, and I am back in the game. Lightweight, great balance, they hug the foot and keep me landing squarely. The absorbent cushioning also helped correct a little knee discomfort I felt during runs over 12km. They're equally good on both the treadmill and the road. They are not as breezy as other shoes (my Reeboks were great for letting in the breeze), but it's not like they're a sauna, either.

I bought a size larger than usual to accommodate my orthotics, and I've heard it recommended to buy a half-size larger even without adding extra support.

Been running Asics for routine runs and marathons and they have kept my feet and knees very happy. I have had the GT 21xx's and the Nimbus. I think the 3020's are more snug then the GT's for my feet in a good, glove way (am slight over protonator and wide). The gel adds extra comfort and I like the stiffer, higher heel cushion compared to the GT's. I am a lazy man who does not like to lace up all the time or use a shoe horn. Finally they were at a better price point the nimbus and I didn't see the added value in paying more for them. I am still breaking them in but expect them to provide a comfortable ride for 400-500 miles.

The purchase was easy. The shoe is exactly what I was looking for. I have planter fasciitis and its essentially cured it. I can run and move without and pain while I am working out.

Honest reviews on ASICS Men's GEL-3020 Running Shoe

I'm moving up from the Gel-1000 series, which has been my running shoe of the last three purchases. The shoe's a great deal for one of Asics's top-of-the-line stability shoes, but that's because it's a model year behind (the current iteration is the 3030). But that was fine by me... let others pay top dollar for the brand new shoe, and I'll pay deep discounts by buying last year's model. Suckers.

Shoe's great: it's my distance shoe, which I alternate with the NB Minimus Trail. The shoe's a solid stability shoe for neutral runners (which I am) and overpronators. You won't go wrong with it.

Major props to Road Runner Sports, who got the shoe to me very quickly, shipping it the very day I bought it.

I have a foot problem (Plantar fasciitis). I am not a sports or athletic person. I do 50% Brisk walk and 50% running. I used low to medium range shoes (including Reebok and Asics GEL 1150 series)in the past. Asics GEL 1150 was good for walking and slow running but, for a medium phase running, I feel strain. Also, some times the pain kicks in.

Now the new GEL-3020 : Used it for about 2 weeks now. Don't see much difference (including comfort) for a walk / brisk walk (compared to GEL-1150). Running (especially medium phase @ 5.5 miles/h), I see 30 % plus difference. Better grip/control, less strain. Felt the running was more easier / comfortable than earlier. Didn't get into the Plantar fasciitis problem. The price paid was more than double (compared to GEL 1150) but, GEL-3020 are well worth the money. Strongly recommend.
