Overall

Needed a stability shoe and purchased a trail shoe because I run mostly on gravel county roads. The shoe fit true to size. Upper is very durable. They are not the best trail shoe I have owned since I still feel most f the gravel under my foot. I am a forefoot striker and wore that are almost gone in six months.

Overall

I have been running in ascis (and occasionally brooks) shoes for about 15 years. In my opinion the quality and durability of the brand has been decreasing over the past 5 years while the prices continue to increase. Specifically, In my current and previous pair of GT-2000 I have been unimpressed with the life and durability of the shoe.
