Anyone having issues with ankle/achilles soreness after runing a few hours later or next morning? Especially those that ran in 2170’s or the asics comparable models before. I never had this problem before running with the new shoe. So I was wondering if it was a effect from other injuries or the new shoes. It is kind of funny it is in both ankles. thinking maybe the back of the shoe is pressing in on the achilles and causing the problem.
A lot of people I know who have used the 2170s do not like the GT-2000s. Most have switched to the Brooks Adrenaline 13s with success.
Nick I will take a look problem is is my duck feet. It has to be a wide shoe. I will do some googling now.

This was my exact switch there is a noticeable difference.
Did you have ankle /Achilles soreness from them?
Just get a 4E width and you should be set.
They do have size DUCK. I will go to RR sports or Princeton Running Thursday and try on
I never had a major issue. I would get some posterior tibialis tenderness nothing that accumulated to anything severe as I was rotating between GTS 12 and GT 2000 before going to the new GTS13, def think this saved me from having a full blown flare up. I personally noticed more tenderness in the same area with the Kayano and removed that shoe from my arsenal fairly quickly after purchase. the GTS 13 is very firm upfront but I have grown to like that more that the “cushion” you get from the Asics nowadays miss the old ones for sure.
EUREAKA!!! Has to be it!!!
Off to buy a pr. Next week. I ran yesterday in a blown out pr Of 2170’s because i left one gt-2000 at home and only had on shoe at park. And the pain was not as bad as usuall. Fast foreword to this morning and running with the gt-2000 and soreness now expecting it worse Tommorow.
I believe the heel to toe ratio dropped from 12 to 10mm from the 2170 to the 2000. It shouldn’t be enough to affect things, but small difference can tweak the body.
Every now and then a shoe model is changed enough so it doesn’t work anymore. We’ve sold the 2000 well thus far, but have heard of quite a few loyal 2170 wearers that haven’t liked it.
Like I said might be from nagging calf injury that may have migrated down. But that was only my left calf. This is now both ankles and same spot which leads me to think the shoe is the culprit. Can’t hurt by trying a new shoe :0) think a three day rest to heel up a bit and then try the other shoe. No doubt it is a good shoe , I loved the 2170 though.

I’ve been a 15 yr Asics GT21…guy. Think I started at 2010 in the early 90’s. Went to pick up the new 2000’s a few weeks back and the guy at Dick’s said people are returning them in record numbers. They were even on sale, mid season, which is apparently a sign of poor sales. Lot’s of complaints apparently and injuries. Really sad, actually. LOVED those shoes. I moved over to the Brooks Pure series and really like them. However, I have narrow feet and they fit me nicely - no blisters even on first distance run. He also confirmed that many Asics faithful were moving to the Adrenaline 13.
Hopefully Asics goes back to what made the GT one of the dominant running shoes on the market.
I’m a 4E. The 2000s are narrower and shorter than the 2170s. So I ditched them very quickly.
My wife was having heel pain and also ditched them and went to a Saucony.
We will see next week , unfortunately after month and a half running on them. I might need to take a break and heal some more. It has been a series of leg problems all year and I was thinking that this was a result if that. But then started thinking man this is too coincidental that it is both ankles in the same place.
Been running in them for about a year and love them. I’ve had bad ankle pain once. The day after IMCDA, my ankles were completely shot.
After 112 miles biking and 26.2 running I will give the shoes the benefit of doubt that it was not the shoe. LOL ;0)
I’ve dealt with Achilles tendonitis for years and have struggled with it for the past month or so. It comes and goes as it pleases, and gets worse with age. I’ve learned to train with us over the years, along with recurring calf strains, which are probably related to chronic dehydration related to drinking beer as a recovery fuel.
In terms of running shoes, regardless of brand, I recommend putting heel pads in your shoes. I also recommend staying on the treadmill or flat terrain until your Achilles calms down. Rest doesn’t work well for me, in fact I feel like rigor mortis sets in beyond 48 hours on inactivity, so I generally start running after a day or two of rest at an easy pace. I also warm up the muscles with a warm shower or hot tub before running. Lastly, I often sleep with compression socks when dealing with calf or Achilles injuries - I’m not sure it helps, but I don’t think it hurts either. Good luck!
Thanks !
Couple questions have u tried a 3-4 week rest ever?
And also is it in both heels? I also think my last calf injury was brought in by dehydration and then trying to run after walking a bit. The treadmill makes it feel better? I was thinking maybe the treadmill was maybe te beginning of the problem from overuse in the winter.
I usually take off 4-6 weeks after Thanksgiving through New Years. I have also taken off 4+ weeks at times during the year due to injury.
Yes, pads in both heels. I use my treadmill almost exclusively in the winter (because I hate the cold) and whenever my calf or Achilles issues flare up. I avoid hills and speed work until I get things under control. There are some folks who attribute injury issues to the treadmill, and perhaps there’s some validity (i.e. belt slipping, etc.); however, I probably run over a thousand miles a year on my treadmill without any problems.
Normally, my approach to recovery is to start out very easy pace at 1-2 mph slower than usual and gradually get a little faster. I’ve also done the walk-run approach, because the intent is to get blood to the injured area without created any more damage. Lastly, I also leave the treadmill at 0% grade to avoid any additional stress on the Achilles or calf. I generally shoot for about 20 minutes in my first couple of runs increasing the mph by 0.1 mph every 2 minutes. I’ll also ice down after the run.
If you try it, let me know how it works for you after a week or two.
I will thanks for the advice.
