Frustrated with GT2000s
Anonymous runner · Aug 13, 2019
4/5
Overall
I've worn every version of this shoe since it came out back in the 90's and the last few versions have not been great. Sizing problems and lack of durability have been the biggest issues. With these shoes I'm barely able to get 300-400 miles out of a pair.
