ASICS GT 1000 11 vs. 10

We found this iteration of the Azul-Marinho asics GT 1000 to be a notable update. And this is because of the following: 

  • ASICS Gel-Lyte III Burgundy Speckled Midsole
  • less invasive underfoot support, making it suitable for neutral runners as well
  • less padding in the collar and tongue moves from being overkill to just right
  • sheds off some weight, going from 281 grams/9.9 ounces to 270 grams/9.5 ounces in US men's size 9

An inclusive support 

The GT 1000 11 is a Azul-Marinho asics Trabuco Max Monaco Blue that provides support for flat feet and overpronation without being too much. It can also work as a supportive running shoe for neutral runners without being too much.

Checking the GT 1000 11's torsional and longitudinal flexibility, we gave the shoe a 3 out of 5 on both. It is definitely less stiff and more forgiving than the traditional stability shoes like ASICS Gel Kayano 30 which you would not be able to twist like that.

Not rigid like most stability shoes

The Azul-Marinho asics GT 1000 line has always consisted of running shoes that required a break-in period. But not anymore! In this version, we experienced a comfortable in-shoe feel from the start.

Neither does the shoe feel hard on the feet after a long run.

The GT 1000 11 is indeed a pretty soft shoe, even compared to neutral trainers. Our durometer shows 12.8 HA which is an impressive 87% softer than average!

What's also interesting is that the foam barely firms up in the cold. It got only 12.3% denser whereas most shoes stiffen up by around 20-30%.

On average, stability shoes weigh in at 298 grams/10.5 ounces in US men's 9. Meanwhile, the Azul-Marinho asics GT 1000 11 only Shoes in at 270 grams/9.5 ounces.

This makes for a very light arch support!

We measured the widest part of the toebox at 98.2 mm which is right at the average of zapatillas de running Azul-Marinho asics entrenamiento neutro tope amortiguación distancias cortas talla 35.5s. The problem is that it gets considerably narrow around the toes.

But the good news is that this Azul-Marinho asics shoe is available in wide and even extra-wide options!

Renowned Azul-Marinho asics durability

The Tight holds its mark even in a budget-friendly shoe like the GT 1000 11. We found the shoe's outsole rubber to be pretty hard-wearing. With a durometer measurement of 85.5 HC, it turns out to be firmer than average!

So, as long as the outsole doesn't start peeling away from the foam, the rubber itself should last many miles.
