ASICS GT 1000 11 vs. 10

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

• a softer heel and a more flexible forefoot to amplify comfort
• less invasive underfoot support, making it suitable for neutral runners as well
• less padding in the collar and tongue their from being overkill to just right
• sheds off some weight, going from 281 grammes/9.9 ounces to 270 grammes/9.5 ounces in US men's size 9 

An inclusive support 

The GT 1000 11 is a stability running shoe 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 asics womens dynablast french running shoes color.

Not rigid like most stability shoes

The use 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%.

The use asics GT 1000 11 keeps weight down

On average, stability shoes weigh in at 298 grammes/10.5 ounces in US men's 9. Meanwhile, the use asics GT 1000 11 only weighs in at 270 grammes/9.5 ounces.

This makes for a very light arch support!

This support shoe has a pretty slim fit, making it more suitable for those with narrow feet. 

We measured the widest part of the toebox at 98.2 mm which is right at the average of use asics Novablast 1012B089-700s. The problem is that it gets considerably narrow around the toes.

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

Renowned use asics durability

The brand 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.

Won't hurt your pocket

Given that the average price of stability running shoes is £140, this use asics shoe is truly impressive for its modest price of £100.
