Changed over from the Foundation to the GT-2130. I had been searching tirelessly (well, okay, sometimes I was tired) for a BLACK (or at least DARK) Asic in a style that would work for my ample frame and pronation tendency, and finally, as if Metatarsus the Great Shoe God finally heard my prayers, the Asics folks came out with a BLACK GT-2130. In women's. In an 8.5. Oh my word. I'd been wearing Gel-Foundations for years, and also the Gel-Fortitude, and I'd HEARD that the GT-2130 was a fine alternative to those, but I hadn't given it a shot, as I was skeptical and very monogamous with my existing Asics relationships. But I am here to testify that word on the street was right -- the GT-2130 IS totally in that same stability/motion-control family, and I LOVE these shoes. The sole is a LITTLE stiff and klunky, but it's loosening up, and the tongue of the shoe is very poofy and prominent (I could use less tongue), and I'm aware of how wide the shoe is, and that I still need to futz with the laces to get the shoe the exact degree of tightness and looseness in various spots that I want it...but other than those minor complaints, this sneaker is really supportive, cushy and shock-absorbent. I took a 90-minute indoor/outdoor walk in them yesterday and could have kept going, easily. I hope to wear these for a long time to come.
