The shoes arrived quickly and well packaged. I have bought & worn Asics for 15 years+ and GT-1000 in its various versions for maybe 8 years. Never been disappointed. They last well, they are comfortable to my knowledge for up to 10K, probably more. They are light but still supportive. I am still using my old version 4 or 5, which are slightly more durable looking but heavier and less comfortable, so for 5-10K version 7 are an improvement. Also stylish compared to Adidas, which are often clumpy, Nike, which look flimsy and Brooks, which are usually weird colours. Maybe crucially these cost me under £70, and there are no shoes as good for under £100 in the other ranges unless you find them on sale and even then I find these better than all of them.I have had many pairs GT2000 over the years. This is my second pair of v7, I think I started with v1. They are great for high mileage road running and if you are a slight over pronator. They wear well up to around 700km per pair. They get a lot of abuse from me on roads, through muddy puddles and hard trails. Can be a little slippery on hard wet surfaces, and not suitable for anything worse that hard trails as the grip in mud is very poor and the great venting on the upper means the water comes through. If you need to go off-road get a pair of dedicated trail shoes. They have a wide toe box and no slip in the heel. Some pairs have worn through on the upper toe but really only at the end of their life. Great shoes.I'm not a serious runner and don't cover that many miles, but a year and three quarters after purchase, these remain the most comfortable running shoes I've had, the fit was perfect and there's no sign of them falling apart.I replaced my worn out GT-1000 5s with these 1000 7s. They’re a smaller fit than the 5s (I had to go a half size up) but they are true to the guidance on the ASICS website. I’ve only done one 5 mile run so far but they feel pretty nice.GT-1000 7 running shoes purchased to replace GT1000 -6 shoes. Basically its the same shoe just updated. fits exactly the same as (size 10.5) the previous GT1000-6 that lasted almost 1 year with daily use. Good quality and comfortable for both road running and generaluse.
