darting Aug 2012 12:20pm, 26 Aug 2012 46 posts	0 darting Hi Has anyone tried these? I have been using Asics 2160 (had several pairs) and its time to change. The price is right for the 2170 but they need to do 30 - 40 miles per week and be hard wearing! All reviews welcome, Cheers

jw5830 Nov 2012 5:33pm, 12 Nov 2012 18 posts	0 jw5830 I've just bought my 2nd pair of 2170's, they're the only shoe that have NEVER given me a blisters UNTIL the uppers went on one foot at the weekend. I'd done 470 miles in them! Just also bought a pair of 1170's in the sale to try purely as a backup.

MoscowFlyer Nov 2012 7:22pm, 12 Nov 2012 2,588 posts	0 MoscowFlyer I've decided to move away from the 21 series and instead of going from 2160 to 2170 I tried the Kayano 18s instead, which although more expensive are a much more comfortable shoe for me. I actually think Asics had some great shoes in the 2120 and the 2130 and 2140 were also very good, but since the 2120 they've gone backwards.
