GT 2000-5 Lite Show

Anonymous runner · Aug 14, 2019

4/5

Overall

This shoe is excellent for the light, the heavy, the fast, the slow, the serious, or the casual runner. The Lite Show version in particular is fantastic for night running after a long day of work. With great pronation control and excellent cushioning, I feel like it's saving my knees, being a heavier runner (195lbs). My only issue is that the toe box is slimmer than the original GT-2000 5 series. The entire GT-2000 5 series has durability issues where the heal enters the shoe - it's almost like the dog was chewing on it, but it's not the dog!
