Same shoe I've been wearing for nearly a decade

Anonymous runner · Feb 6, 2018

5/5

Overall

Find your shoe and stick with it! Even better, find your shoe and buy it on amazon... I've saved hundreds over the years. Love the GT-2000... good looking, solid performance, fairly light... what else can I say?

Asics GT-2000 4: A good shoe for distance running

Anonymous runner · Jan 6, 2018

4/5

Overall

I have a pronounced arch and many shoes were not compatible with my feet. This one is. It is overall very comfortable to wear while running. I use it for longer distance runs where I use a mid-foot strike, so essentially when I'm running faster than 6:00 pace per mile. For any running faster than that, Id want to use a lighter shoe, since this one is fairly heavy. For its purpose, however, it is a quality shoe.

It's good, but not as good as the previous model. I've been running it for the past 13 years, so why stop now?
