Comments about Asics GEL-130 TR:

I am a theatrical technician and need all black shoes for work where I am on my feet for long durations of time. I wanted a pair of sneakers for better arch support and it was so difficult to fine all black, 10.5 ww shoes which I ultimately could not find. These came in an 11 ww and that was close enough for me as a 10 size of Asics feel slightly too small. As I thought, they do feel a little too big but I think it is the best fit I can get considering I can not find my exact size. The support is good.

Comments about Asics GEL-130 TR:

I've been wearing these for a few weeks and love them. They don't have mesh on them like so many athletic shoes do, which makes them really water resistant. That does make them rather hot, though, but I'm moving to a cooler, rainier climate and I think they'll be great there. They are comfortable and nice and wide, but after reading the other reviews here I chose the 8.5 rather than the 8 and I'm glad I did. A shoe store employee at the mall asked me where I got them!

Comments about Asics GEL-130 TR:

This is a great athletic shoe. I am probably on my 8th pair by now. I have low back problems and neck issues from years of teaching aerobics and yoga. I swear by these shoes. I use them for various workouts and they provide wonderful support. Also, a super shoe for people with flat feet and pronation problems. Try a pair! Your feet and your back will thank you.

Describe Yourself:

Arch Type:

High Arch

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Asics GEL-130 TR:

My feet are small, and sometimes the height between the inside bottom and ankle cut-out in a shoe can be too high, leaving the "ankle dip section" rubbing across my ankles. That's the case with these Asics. Sometimes shoe manufacturers just shorten the shoes for smaller sizes, overlooking the fact that smaller and shorter folks need shoes designed for smaller feet, not size 9s that have been shortened. That said, these are probably great shoes for size 8s and higher. My petite sisters might want to check out Brooks running shoes.

Comments about Asics GEL-130 TR:

This is my fourth pair of Asics Gel 130-TR. I like them for walking and for hanging around. I have problems with my ankles swelling, but due to the ankle support with these sneakers, I don't have to worry about that when I am wearing them. Hence, I wear them a lot!
