How it ranks
The ASICS GT-2000 1 trails most daily trainers in our data. Durability and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Comfort scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating is based on 46 runner reviews and 14 other rated shoes in the GT-2000 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 is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
