I've been wearing Asics for running for about 15 years and have always been extremely satisfied. Lately though, I've been terribly disappointed mainly because of the sizing issues.<br /><br />I need a stability shoe and was a die hard of the 2100 series. When Asics decided to shake things up I went along for the ride. The 2000 1 were horrible so I went with the 2170's. Tried and used the 2000 2 but they were painful and lacking cushioning. I decided to use the Kayano instead and the 19s were the best ever. Moved onto the 20's and they were horrible. At one point I couldn't feel my toes.<br />I then tried the 21s and they were so narrow and short even in a wide width and I have always been a standard width. Tried the nimbus next and they were great in the toe box, still very short in length but caused numbness in the balls of my feet. The 1000 3 were short and really stiff. The cumulus were really short like my foot measures a 6 1/2 and an 8 was to short. The gel exalt slipped in the heel and were very narrow.<br /><br />So here I am with the 2000 3. I always wear a 7 standard width in street shoes and up until this shake up was a 7 1/2 standard width in all Asics shoes. I decided to go to a running store for help out of sheer frustration. On a foot measurer I am a 6 1/2 standard width but was fitted in an 8 Wide in these. The cushioning is awesome in these and the stability great. The heel slips ever so slightly but after every other shoe I tried I decided to keep these. I really hope Asics gets it together soon because color selection and in stock options suck in wide.
