Not showy, but comfortable

Good cushion, fits well on a narrow foot with high arches. Less thrilled with the color and style options. Got some good miles on these ones.

Asics gt2000 16 years on

Des Proctor · Jul 6, 2023

5/5

Overall

Started running again in 2006 after 3 foot surgeries ended my career 10 years prior. As a 40 year old I wanted stability and cushioning. The Gt 2000 was my choice. Over the years my son and the athletes that I coach wear Asics and particularly this shoe. This Rojo would include the Aussie Princeton Mile record holder!
