ASICS Men's GT-1000 3 G-TX Running Shoe

Was looking for this style type of running shoes. They feel great and a very high quality shoe. Shipping was great. Price was the lowest and I have ran on them. For about 15k no breaks in the rubber. I only broke them in for half a day walking around the house then went straight to the pavement

In general, I like these shoes, but they are a bit more snug than I expected versus previous ASICS purchases.I get used to them once I have them on, and they are comfortable for wearing all day, as long as I wear thinner socks. I'm not a runner, so I can't evaluate how they perform for their intended use, but they are supportive and comfortable for general use. I like the potential for Gore-Tex, though I have yet to take advantage of it in actual use. Contrary to the hype for Gore-Tex, I don't think the shoes breathe nearly as well as shoes I've had without it, but I have less chance of wet feet next time I get caught in the rain.

The shoe itself is very comfortable and fits my foot perfectly. My feet run a little on the wide side, while not always requiring a wide shoe so I was a bit leery but I couldn't ask for a better fit. I had to try out how "waterproof" they were and so I hit them with the hose, socks came out dry! They are warm, so I would say more ideal for a spring, fall, or winter activities. I do live in Wisconsin, and have worn them on a handful of run/hikes and they aren't terrible hot, they do breathe, but they do warm. They do have a semi noticeable sound due to the Gore-Tex but that was expected. These shoes are light, and have great absorption while running/hiking. I have no complaints and would recommend these shoes 100%. I phased out a pair of lower quality asics I had bought 1-2 months previous at Kohls that had a terrible ammonia odor I was unable to remove with new soles and a hand wash/soak. I do wish Asics would've done something about my old shoes being pretty much worthless after 1-2months of use. I literally would be "that guy" if I wore them and took them off at a friends or family members house, the odor was truly that bad, never had a pair of shoes do that before.

I haven't tested the waterproof capabilities much yet but these are great winter running shoes, but they are certainly water resistant. I've run in slush and a couple inches of wet snow and these have kept me dry. i have not stood motionless in a puddle however. I probably will only use these int he winter because they are warm! I can ditch the smartwool socks and wear my normal thin running sock with these and not have numb or even remotely cold toes after a 5 mile run in 30 degree weather. The soles are grippy too, i feel pretty solid running in snow without slipping as long as it has not gotten too icy or crusty. These will be my a-game winter runners, but I will go back to my usual running shoes for the other 3 seasons.

ASIC's sizing is a little strange. For years I would order a size 12 though I wear a size 11 1/2. Their size 12 would be 46 in european measurements which fit me perfectly. This includes the GT 1000 that I bought last year. However, in buying the size 12 of this shoe (GT-1000 3 G-TX) the european size turned out to be 46.5. They are not so large as to be unwearable-- I am wearing them, and they more or less fit o.k. But as I said ASIC's sizing is somewhat strange. It is still a comfortable, stable shoe. I pronate, and the regular earlier GT-1000 was a motion control shoe. This GT-1000 seems a little less so, but still o.k.

ASICs is all about a technical shoe. I have worn several over the last ten years and never once was disappointed. They fit my running, weight lifting and hiking needs. This pair with Gore Tex skin is even more useful for all of my activities.

I have purchased quite a few ASICS shoes for a while now, and still have 3 pair which basically still feel brand new but alas my oldest has taken a bit of a beating from weather, working retail and, oh yeah, that small burn hole from an Independence Day fireworks mishap 4 or 5 years ago (I am not a smart man). So I am retiring that pair and this one is taking over as #1. They fit great out of the box.

Bought two pairs in May of 2015. I'm still wearing the first pair. They've held up very well for being a year and half old. The first pair have a lot of life left in them and I'll keep wearing them until they fall apart. I'm glad I bought two pairs when I did, because sometimes it's difficult finding GORE-TEX shoes and I'll have a replacement when the first pair finally give out.

A+
