text: I bought a pair of GT-2000 shoes from ASICS a while back, and they held up great. They were comfortable, and probably the best shoes I have ever owned. Enter the GT-1000 3... A whole different story. These shoes have very little cushioning, so the energy absorption is almost nil. These shoes were recommended for &#34;heavy runners&#34; and &#34;over pronators&#34;, of which I am both, but I can feel nothing in the way of support for these two issues in the GT-1000 3 shoes. These shoes are not even as good as the factory second Adidas I bought from a defect store. I find all of the positive reviews for these shoes difficult to believe, unless the reviews are from people who are not heavy runners or over pronators who were given a free pair in return for an &#34;honest&#34; review.<br />Cons:<br />These shoes do nothing to correct over pronation.<br />The lip around the ankle is turned inward, so it rubs excessively.<br />The tongue does not stay in place.<br />Has very little cushioning, and even with careful foot placement, gives a jarring landing every time.<br />Because of how these shoes make my feet land, my knees have begun to ache and swell.<br />Lower back pain from the odd foot-landing.<br />Narrow, so they rub.<br /><br />Pros:<br />These shoes are slightly better than nothing because there is a lot of broken glass and thorns in Phoenix.
