Expert Review Sources

  • Running Shoes Guru : 80.1 / 100 — « Pairing ASICS's ASICS proprietary foam platform with a 7.2 mm drop, the GT 1000 12 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at $180. »
  • OutdoorGearLab : 79.7 / 100 — « In ASICS's daily trainer lineup, the GT 1000 12 combines long-distance underfoot protection (a 7.2 mm drop) with a breathable, secure upper. A smart choice for runners looking for a 7.2 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 79.6 / 100 — « The ASICS GT 1000 12 maintains its reputation as a versatile stability running shoe. With fantastic comfort and impressive breathability, this shoe transitioned seamlessly into cross-training or walks around the block during our tests. And it's a gem for those looking to score a stability shoe without breaking the bank. Yet, while it covers most bases beautifully, we think speed enthusiasts might find the Flytefoam midsole lacks energy return. »
