October has been Asics month at Amazon, with two of the brand’s most popular styles of men’s running shoes—the Gel-Kayano 29 and the Gel-Cumulus 23—taking mega discounts. But now, the brand is offering up another customer favorite, the GT-1000 10, for nearly half the price. While the Gel-Kayano and Gel-Cumulus are noted as superior running styles, the GT-1000 is loved for running, walking, and standing, and has even been recommended by customers’ podiatrists.
Right now, the Asics GT-1000 10 is on sale in multiple colors for as low as $52—up to 48% off the original price of $100. Even though it’s a less expensive model from Asics, customers still love it, rating it an average of 4.6 stars on Amazon. In total, 77% of the nearly 2,400 ratings are a perfect 5 stars.

The men’s Asics GT-1000 10 is the 10th-anniversary model of the style. A sneaker with an above-average combination of support and cushion, the GT-1000 is best used for neutral or overpronating foot types (flat feet or low arches) and is lauded for its lightweight feel. It’s suited for outdoor and indoor running but is often relied on as an everyday walking shoe. It’s also known to help feet remain steadfast when standing for long periods.
The model 10 version features a breathable mesh upper, Asics’ Flytefoam cushioning system, and the brand’s iconic gel heel for high-quality shock absorption. Asics has also included a strategically placed section of firmer foam under the arch to improve stability and rubber on the heel to slow down the abrasion process against the ground.

Like the Gel-Kayano and Gel-Cumulus, the GT-1000 is a style customers buy repetitively because of the comfort and relief it provides as a triple-threat shoe for running, walking, and standing. One customer who’s a long-distance walker said this is the best shoe they’ve found so far. “Great fit and very comfortable. I walk 75-80 miles a week and replace my shoes every three months. I've tried other brands but always come back to Asics for the fit and the comfort,” they said.
Another customer who was suffering from foot problems said this pair of sneakers was their doctor's recommended solution. “I got these because my podiatrist recommended Asics for their arch support. Very comfortable shoes. I kept getting tendinitis in my feet & ankles—these are the only shoes that have helped alleviate the pain with better support, taking pressure off my tendonitis-prone areas. I'd highly recommend them to anyone struggling with tendonitis in their feet or who needs better support.”
Most of the reviews you’ll read about the Asics GT-1000 10 involve the words “comfort,” “lightweight,” and “good support,” which paint a picture of what these sneakers can do. But now is the time to score them on sale for as low as $52, nearly 50% off. With sizes waning in stock as time goes on, you’ll want to grab yours in one of the fun colors pictured above.
