What is the difference between asics 2150 and 2160

Its lighter too. It is subjective whether you "like a shoe," but they should call it the series because it aint the same feel as the , , or I've run for 10 years or more. Its just not. Keep it but put it in a different series, like they did with the blur and Post 9 of 25 views.

Bad and good, that means the and will be discounted at shoe sites and I can buy 2 pairs of shoes and wait until they bring it back under a different name. Post 10 of 25 views. Asics always does that with their shoes I was happy running with and suddenly they change the fit on the shoe; fuckers The entire event IM is like "death by cuts" and the best race is minimizing all those cuts and losing less blood than the other guy. Post 11 of 25 views. So, has the Asics 11XX series been discontinued, changed, whatever Post 12 of 25 views.

Post 13 of 25 views. Alright folks, here's the deal: Asics has re-launched all of the numbered series: the , , and are all replacements for the , , and , respectively. The main complaints with the GT-series over the past few years were, as follows: Weight heavier than that of the competition Less underfoot feel underfoot aka "too much cushioning" Heel slip Medial posting feeling too aggressive So, what'd they do to everyone's shoes?

I didn't bust out a tool to measure it. This allowed them to use less plastic in the midfoot, lightening the shoe Bit narrower fit throughout this might be the big error, IMO: we're pretty much selling more wides than regulars Brought the "Dynamic DuoMax" liner down from the Kayano.

Basically, it's a layer of SoLyte between the medial post and the footbed. Same support as before, just doesn't feel as aggressive.

More flexible, particularly in the forefoot The last time they made this big of a change to everything is when it went from the to the the year they switched from SpEVA to SoLyte foam. The following year, they revised the fit on the upper, and all is well. I'm not an Asics guy by any stretch of the imagination, and this shoe didn't change my opinion of it.

If you try on a and hate it, my money is on the Saucony Guide picking up where you left off. Fit is similar to a classic series shoe with a little more responsiveness, but a pretty well cushioned ride characteristic.

Alas, they don't have a midfoot posted shoe so no recommendations against the s. Hence the Guide or recommendations. Post 16 of 25 views. Post 17 of 25 views. Got my 's today. They feel fantastic. Glove like fit that I have enjoyed since the 's. But road feel like Mizuno Wave Riders. No more of that "dead" feel that I got used to in the series, but never really preferred.

Thumbs up. Post 18 of 25 views. I did IMFL in the new s and hated them. Had a nice hotspot on the ball of each foot. Felt like I was running in cardboard slippers. I find this strange because James and I typically like the same shoes. Post 19 of 25 views. Chris Athey wrote:. Post 20 of 25 views. I thought the 21xx series went downhill after the 40's. Post 21 of 25 views. Well I haven't actually run in them yet, so I maybe putting the cart before the horse. Post 22 of 25 views. I've been running in the 21xx series for several years now.

Also, whenever I'm in Florida visiting my parents, I like to stop in the Runner's Edge store in Boca Raton since I really like the knowledge of their staff. When I was down there last week, I stopped in to see what kind of shoe they would recommend since I'm dealing with some sore achilles tendons. They pointed me to the Nike Structure 16's. They seem to be working out for me so far. Post 23 of 25 views. Nice post. If you would be so kind to give a recommendation. I hate changing shoes but oh well.

Have been running in the Asics empires ? Use full foot orthotics that sometimes have a width issue in the midfoot. May, may not drop the ortho's. Since I have been in basically the same shoe for so long, any recommendations?

Heard the fit is different in the 's. So what you say? Post 24 of 25 views. Out of the new numbered series line, that is really, really solid. It's basically a with a really plush feel underfoot, and a "classic" read as: wide Asics fit. However, they dropped the widths in the So if the D doesn't fit Apparently they no longer make my New Balance s so I bought the Asics s.

I am going to see a physio on Monday. Now I think it is the Asics causing this. Any thoughts? I am really disappointed that I have not been able to run. I am happy i found this! I was just getting ready to buy a new pair of would be my 3rd in a row… i am a bit bored of them and thought whats really the difference? Now that i just read your blog…i am back to believing if it aint broke…dont fix it! I will just repurchase the same ole reliable Thank you. I thought I was going mad until I read this review.

I suspected I just had a dud pair. Interestingly after 23 years running I have only ever beeen happy with Ascics and Brooks. Now it all makes sense. Great article which confirms my frustration Asics design and manufacturing quality. The new pair looked exactly like the old pair except for one important aspect, and that was the sole.

Like most running shoes, the old pair had a flared sole that created a larger toe box. The outer soles on the new shoes were not flared and not as wide in the toebox so I had to pay for return shipping even though it was clearly a manufacturing flaw. Goodbye Asics, hello Brooks! Thank you for saving my feet! I love my Asics s and am disappointed to hear that the is not even close! The reasons I loved the were that I could get a wide shoe and not feel like I was swimming in them, they were comfortable, and they offered great stability.

I have almost flat feet — not so flat I need the diabetic sneakers — but I need stability of some sort. The first shoe I started running with several years ago was the Asics I can honestly say that the series shoe has been an excellent fit with my custom orthotics untill I bought the Wtih only 3 months of running on these shoes, I have never been able to keep this shoe snug to my heel.

This has resulted in large holes being created on the inside wall of the heel area and blistering of my skin on my heels. Funny, I wore Saucony Progrid Omni and Brooks Adrenaline GTS12 with orthothic insoles, but upon my last visit to the local specialist store, was adviced a after running analysis. In fact, for me this shoe is more stable and delivers a more plush and stable ride than the Brooks did, although pronation correction is considerably less — which is spot on for my feet.

Having no experience with the I can only say, two thumbs up for the I called Asics and spoke to a customer service technician who indicated that the GT is the shoe that replaced the GT After listening to this review I am having second thoughts in going with the GT I would like to stay in the Asics family but am open to any brand. Keep me posted!

I really upped my volume this year and the 2nd pair got me through miles in 4 months. I thought the s would be a good replacement so I started using them early June. Thank you! I have run in the series for the past 7 years, going from to with NO problem. With my last s worn out after Boston this year, I went to the and have had constant hip pain SI joint is constantly on fire! I have never had this much trouble with a shoe. Hope Asics is listening….

Their cushioning feels firmer to me and that was a complaint I had with the earlier models. Thanks for the feedback. Let me know how if you get the same number of miles from the GT as you did for prior models.

This is where the differences will also show up. After less than 10 minutes in the GTs my toes were completely numb. These feel like an entirely different shoe from the GTs.

I have always bought Asics but I think I am going to have to take these back. So disappointing! Thank you for your valuable advice! No idea what i will do once they run out. Might have to try the model perhaps as others have done. All calf muscle issues disappeared instantly after getting back into a GT shoe. I bought Asics in January After the first trainings I felt terrible pains in my feet. I hardly could finish the planned distances. I felt like having burning toes!!

Unfortunately, I could not bring it back to the shop, the shop-seller didnt want to change it. As it was very expensive for me, I had to carry on to runin these shoes. It took 2 months until I got to used to them! It was a painful experience. But I would never buy a GT again! And the inside scrim is not too longlasting: it has huge holes already.

My previous Asics never had this problem. Now I wonder if the GT would be a better choice next time…. Thank you, Thank you, Thank, you for this post!

I seriously thought I was going crazy with all the defects I was having in my running! Everything that you mentioned was happening to me after being an Asics wearer for past 15 years!!

I will for sure be switching over to Brooks! Thannnnnk you! Imagine my surprise when I found no rock. Thank you Dr! Thought I was the only one, but it appears that many of you have had issues over the Ive been trying to see them through, but just cant get over a constant hip pain they have given me since I started wearing them.
