Shoe Review – Asics 2130 New vs. Old Differences

Asics 2130 is one of my favorite shoes and I recommend it daily. Today however, someone brought in a pair of the new 2130’s in the storm/lightening/hot pink color. Her previous pair were the white/gold/python color and much to my dismay, the shoes were not the same width.

The new 2130’s (right) were 5mm narrower than the old 2130’s (left), which makes the fit more like the old 2120’s which have been discontinued.

If this is your running shoe, make sure you check the width as subtle changes can make a big difference. If the new 2130 seems too tight, switch to the D width which will probably work.
