Customer Review: A testament to the importance of a seemingly subtle difference
This (Asics GT-2130) is a just-out-of-production (2008) model of a very popular line of running shoes produced by a very reputable company, and there are still many new pairs available at reduced price on the market. I benieve many runners share my habit of buying last year's model at 30-40% discount, so am writing this for those who do the research. Each pair of feet and gait are different, so it makes much more sense to disclose my condition for your comparison. I am a recreational runner and average 25-30 miles per week, mostly on a treadmill. I am 5'10" and 168 lb, and belong to the the majority of runners with normal arch and mild overpronation. I loved Asics GT-2110 (great stability and roomy toe box) so much that I bought four pairs of them for training and long distance road races. Knowing how difficult it is to find a pair of suitable running shoes, I searched for long to find its replacement. Asics GT-2130 has received good reviews, but one never knows whether these reviews actually apply to one's own feet. By now, I have run in my first pair of Asics GT-2130 for about 150 miles (20% on asphalt, 80% on treadmill) and found two very specific deficiencies - (1) small toe box, and (2) weak forefoot cushion. My conclusions were drawn from comparison with its predecessor - GT-2110. I developed black toenails (subungual hemorrhage), blisters on and behind toes, and pain in medial aspect of ball of foot (metatarsalgia) in GT-2130. At first I thought I rushed to long runs in the new pair, but these problems continued after they have been well broken in. With a scheduled marathon coming up, I switched back to a pair of my old GT-2110 and these problems went away. I felt and inspected the insoles of the two and saw the small but definite difference. If your running feet are prone to blisters on toes, black toenails and metatarsalgia, I would advise you to pass on Asics GT-2130. Don't be mistaken, I love Asics and still regard its many products the best there are. But I am convinced that the forefoot design of GT-2130 was worse than that of GT-2110. I hope this is just a 2130-related issue and the update (GT-2140) is much better, but I have yet to try them to find out. Runners - Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.
Customer Review: Flatfeet's Best Friend
I bought the GT-2130 running shoes and they feel great. This is my second pair of Asics. My introduction to Asics was the 1130 running shoes which were very comfortable and i have flat feet which isn't an issue with these shoes. Great shoe at a great price. Thank you Amazon & FogHog for the prompt service. I ordered these on Feb.12th & had them a week later. If there is ever a doubt about Asics quality, rest assured you are getting a durable shoe that wears well over time. I would recommend this to anyone looking to spend their hard earned dollars on a product that lasts.

Customer Review: I absolutely love this comfortable and lightweight show...
The day before the Napa Valley Marathon my parents treated me to a fitting of new running shoes. The Kayano 14 was the winner. The very next day I ran the fastest marathon I had ever ran by a large margin. Obviously the training was the main factor, but I believe running in the Kayano 14 helped tremendously. Straight out of the box they were a perfect fit. No discomfort and no blisters after 26.2. Well cushioned, firm and comfortable fit and lightweight. I've since purchased two more 14s and am a huge fan. I would definitely recommend this shoe to anyone, although they are probably discontinuing and moving to the 15. 5 stars.
Customer Review: Gel Kayano
Order was received in timely manner and exact size & color requested. Excellent value. Shoe is a 1/2 size small and glad I order 1/2 size larger.

Bean Pod 2 Pk: Universal Nike+ iPod Sensor Holder - Nike Plus iPod Sensor Cases, Works w/ All Shoes: 1 Red Sensor Shoe Pouch and 1 Blue Sensor Shoe Pouch

The Bean Pod utilizes a simple design and sturdy, lasting materials that result in a flexible worry-free Nike+ Sensor Holder. Made by a runner for runners, the elastic stretches with the movement of your foot for a comfortable run while still providing a tight fit to maintain an accurate read. The No-Velcro design ensures that your Nike+ Senor will not be lost due to dirt and debris building in the Velcro or simply bumping into something on a walk or hike - problems that all Velcro designs cannot avoid. The Bean Pod Nike+ Sensor Holder also allows easy access to your sensor so that it may be switched from Pod to Pod without untying your shoelaces. Each pack comes with 2 Bean Pods because most runners have more than 1 pair of shoes.
Customer Review: Useful...Inexpensive...Works for me
I've had this product for a few weeks now, and I must say that it's been such a help. I haven't had to buy those Nike+ sneakers, which helps quite a bit on my wallet. They work great, and I've had no problem with them at all. They're also cheap enough to justify the purchase and then some. I would definately recommend it to anyone.
Customer Review: A real value
I love this. There were comparable items available but none at this price and the fact that you got 2 for the price of 1 was even better.
