ASICS GT 2000 12 Men Shoe Pink/White 15.0 D

Why change the perfect shoe, version 10?

I tried this shoe on in-store. Admittedly, I prefer a wide or extra-wide width which are not available yet. I own three pairs of GT-2000 10(s) wide, my favorite shoe ever! Also, I have one GT-2000 11 wide. The changes made from 10 to 11 didn’t make the shoe any better, and although not as good as the 10, I still purchased a pair and am satisfied. The version 12 is another story altogether! Although the 8mm heel to toe drop is the same, the 12’s heel height increased 10mm and the toe section feels much higher also. Basically, the extra heights makes the sneaker less stable feeling compared to the 10 and 11. Also, the heel and mid-sole gel cushioning feels significantly stiffer and less plush (non-gel like feeling, which is why most people purchase ASICS in the first ... MoreI tried this shoe on in-store.

Definite thumbs down for the GT-2000 12 overhaul.
