    The ASICS GT-2170 men's road-running shoes supply stability without compromising cushioning or feel, creating a efficient ride for runners.

    • Lightweight, flexible synthetic textile and polyester mesh uppers offer maximum breathability and comfort; memory foam-lined collars mold to each foot for amazing comfort
    • Wicking polyester linings move excess moisture away from feet and dry fast
    • Footbeds supply additional cushioning, offer antimicrobial performance and manage moisture for a cool, dry and comfortable interior
    • Dual-density Solyte® lasting uses proprietary polymer material that's lighter than standard EVA and enhances cushioning longevity
    • Forefoot and hindfoot GEL® silicone-based cushioning inserts absorb excess shock in all directions for great stability
    • Impact Guidance System (IGS®) slows pronation for an optimal gait and natural foot movement from heel strike through toe-off
    • Dual-density midsole posting improves stability and support
    • In addition, midfoot stability system creates a pocket between midsole supports, enhancing shock absorption and controlling midsole deformation for efficiency
    • High-performance blown rubber outsoles have abrasion-resistant material in the heels; forefoot material cushions and boosts traction
    • Vertical flex groove in outsoles follows the line of progression throughout the gait cycle to enhance gait efficiency
    • ASICS GT-2170 men's road-running shoes proudly carry the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association
    • Please note: wide widths are 4E

    Please note: ASICS products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

        Comments about ASICS GT-2170 Road-Running Shoes - Men's:

        I use my shoes for walking on pavement. The thing that I LOVE about them is that they are very light in weight, breathable and that it's wide enough for my wide foot. I bought my first pair and the bottom of the shoe was ungluing from the shoe. I took it back and they replaced them with a new pair. I hope that this pair will not do the same thing.

        Comments about ASICS GT-2170 Road-Running Shoes - Men's:

        I needed a wide shoe to work out, and Asics was recommended to me as a well made shoe. When I tried these on, the width seemed OK, and the sales person was very positive about these shoes. I wore them in the house a few times; and for a wide shoe, they weren't quite wide enough. So I'd suggest that if you have an average width foot and want a well made and comfortable shoe, this is a good choice. If you need a wide shoe, look further.

          Very comfortable running shoe from the moment I first put it on. I'm stocking up so I'll have more of these in reserve!
