How it ranks
The ASICS GT-1000 2 trails most daily trainers in our data. Durability and value are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 12 runner reviews and 13 other rated shoes in the GT-1000 product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
