Good Shoe, More Value Desired

Anonymous runner · Jul 12, 2018

5/5

Overall

The Asics GT-2000 is a solid shoe that I've used for years. The shoe is comfortable and supportive enough for me (moderate support needed). I do wish the shoe was more durable, as it seems to break down perhaps earlier than some other shoes I've used in the past--even earlier models of the GT-2000.

Great shoe, for about 3 months.

Overall

I loved the shoe while it lasted. Great cushioning and very comfortable. The post of the shoe seemed to stay supportive for a long time. Unfortunately, the fabric near the toe is thin and eventually i found some holes in it. Within a week they essentially turned into sandals, and i was forced to buy a pair of gt-2000 5. Which have a better fabric design.

Overall

This shoe works really well for me. I have flat feet and heel strike; these shoes compensate well for that in my experience. They have gotten much lighter over the years but I have noticed they show wear more quickly. If you are looking for a stability shoe I would highly recommend it as I've never had an issue with them.
