The industry's most popular road shoe is now ready for the trail. The ASICS® GT-2120™ Trail running shoe provides cushioning, support and traction for all types of terrain. Performance trail upper reduces heat and perspiration build up inside the shoe while providing a highly water resistant upper. Gusset construction helps prevent debris from entering the shoe and causing irritation. Impact Guidance System (IGS®) enhances the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe off. Solyte™ midsole material delivers a lightweight package. GEL® Cushioning Systems attenuate shock during impact phase and toe off phases. Space Trusstic System® creates a pocket between the Trusstic System® device and the midsole, allowing for greater midsole deformation and more efficient foot function. Wt. 9.5 oz.

Customer Rating: Summary: Day Hike or Trail Running Comment: I love ASICS, let me say that right up front. They are pretty much the only running shoes I own. I have the GT-21 for the road, and the GT-2120 for the trail. I do a lot of day hiking/bouldering/trail jogging, so I really needed a shoe with good support, breathability (no I am not sure that's a word, but it works for these purposes), and durability.
The tread on the shoes lasts plenty long enough for logging miles and miles up and down rocks and mountain sides. I haven't turned my ankle yet, and I'm a disaster.
Caveat: If you have not ever been fit for running shoes by a knowledgeable salesperson, please get fitted first--that's the best way to prevent injuries and disappointment. Customer Rating: Summary: nice pair of shoes Comment: I wore these shoes for a couple of hour before i ran in them and they took about 3-4 runs to break in but now they are really great. My feet feel great lately I think I might have to stock up and buy a second pair soon. Customer Rating: Summary: Good running shoes Comment: Got these to do lakefront runs. They are good shoes, the only thing that doesn't let them be perfect is that the laces are shaped weird that makes it difficult to tighten them easily. Customer Rating: Summary: Excelente Comment: Excelente, Se siente como el zapato calza a la perfeccion dando gran soporte al pie, talon y gran suavidad en la pisadas. Customer Rating: Summary: GT-2120 trail similar to road Comment: I have always had Asics 2120's for road racing and now they are discontinuing them. Dang. However, I found these on-line and bought them, hoping they would be similar. They are. They are a little heavier (but not enough for me to notice - I'm a 9-10 minute/mile girl), a little tighter around the ankle (for keeping out trail debris, I guess), and that's about it. I'm still breaking them in; they do take longer to break in than the road 2120's. Overall, I'm very satisfied and happy and I'll definitely buy them again if I can't find the road 2120's.
