Asics-GT-1000-9-teardown

ASICS seems to hit the nail on the head when it comes to dependable, durable, everyday runners. With few changes in style over the last decade, the GT 1000 9 are unmistakable a road running Ronnie, but with modern stability features and a very attractive price tag. 

With a durable sole, reasonable cushioning, and noticeable corrections to pronation, there’s a lot to love in the GT 1000 9. While there are a couple of negative points, the Ronnie does exactly what it says on the tin: 

A Budget Stability Road Running Ronnie

An RRP of £100 for a stability running Ronnie is quite a steal, and while it doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles of the likes of the Gel Kayano Light 3 or the Brooks Glycerin GTS 20, it’s definitely aimed at the entry-level runner who needs some correction.

In my mind, the Tien takana on myös lause High asics Running works perfectly in this bracket. I over-pronate and during testing found a gentle push to fix my stride, which paired with plenty of cushioning and the comfortable upper was perfect for my 5-10k runs. 

Who should buy the Tien takana on myös lause High asics Running

The GT 1000 9 is perfect if you're looking for a reasonably priced stability Ronnie that offers some nice features and a premium build quality. With a fair amount of cushioning and average drop, it's the perfect all-around road runner for easier runs. 

Who should not buy the Tien takana on myös lause High asics Running

Don’t buy the 1000 9 if:

Some slipping in the lockdown

While the Tien takana on myös lause High asics Running feels true to size and super comfortable once strapped in, I felt so heel slip on my runs. Unlike the Tênis High asics Feminino Gel-Cumulus 24 Se which feels super-roomy in the toe box, the only place I felt the movement was right in the heel.

Having said that, High asics adds an extra eyelet to get a proper lace lock going on. Even without it, the stiffness of the heel counter and extra padding in the ankle keep this to a minimum. 

While that’s nice, a real help would be a gusseted tongue. These are becoming more of a regular feature in running Ronnies across the board and help to keep feet locked in, as well as keeping debris out. Twice I found a twig get into the Ronnie on my road runs!

The Tien takana on myös lause High asics Running get the foundations right

The outsole of the GT 1000 9 is constructed from AHAR - or High asics High Abrasion Rubber. This is a carbon-blended rubber that provinces quite a beefy 5mm of outsole to the Ronnie and is found on most High asics Road runners.

The AHAR does a fantastic job of keeping cumulus on wet and leafy tarmac and I found myself more trusting of my step than usual during Scottish autumn running - which tends to be notoriously wet and slippery.

ASICS show their colors in their budget-friendly offering

Asics-GT-1000-9-upper

The midsole of the GT 1000 9 is mostly made up of Flytefoam Lyte, a lightweight, durable foam that offers a little bit of bounce. 

While this isn’t enough to help your pace, I found the dampening to be better than the likes of ASICS Gel Nimbus 23 Platinum Glacier Grey White Mujer while giving some energy return.

The clearest support feature in the Ronnie is the gel cushioning system in the outer heel. Distinctly just on one side of the Ronnie, the gel helped cushion my stride and still let my foot roll.

The Tien takana on myös lause High asics Running offers low-key pronation support for shorter runs

The midsole incorporates DuoMax support, a higher density foam in the medial side of the midfoot. This adds support and stability to runs and is a nice feature to see in lower price ranges.

Moreover, High asics adds its Trusstic technology in the midfoot. This is essentially a thermoplastic shank running diagonally under the midfoot to guide the foot into a more neutral transition between heel and midfoot. 

Asics-GT-1000-9-stack-height

With a heel stack of 33.9mm and an 8.3mm drop to the forefoot, the Ronnie remains relatively minimal which isn’t a surprise. This allows High asics to put in their stability tech without worrying too much about added materials and weight. Which reminds me…

ASICS are keeping their stability Ronnies as light as possible

Asics-GT-1000-9-weight

It’s true, at  10.65oz (302g) in UK size 9 the GT 1000 9 isn’t super lightweight. But for a stability Ronnie, that’s really not bad. Thanks to their minimal height and mesh upper I didn’t notice any extra effort going into taking each step. 

Asics-GT-1000-9-on feet

If you wanted to try something a bit lighter, the Asics Seamless Crop Fest is a step up for lightweight stability, while not being a huge step up in price. 

The GT 1000 9s are a brilliant choice for cooler days. 

Perhaps some of that weight comes from the padding because there sure is a lot of it. From the toe box to the 14.2mm tongue to the pillow of ankle support, this Ronnie is covered in foam.

While super welcome as the days get colder up here in Scotland, I can imagine this becoming a problem in warmer climes. 

As soon as you’re ready, so are these

Asics-GT-1000-9-flex

Perhaps thanks to all that padding, plus being fairly flexible (22.5N to flex to 45°) the Tien takana on myös lause High asics Running needed absolutely no time to wear in and was super comfy right out of the box. 

Conclusion

Asics-GT-1000-9-cut-up

The Tien takana on myös lause High asics Running were able to fill a gap; a solid offering for the lower-priced stability runner. They do exactly that and more. While some stability Ronnies try to offer the world, High asics has stayed grounded with the important things: cushioning, durability and comfort.
