Asics Men's GT-2000 12
Our Take
We have Along with shoes like the New Balance 860, the Mizuno Inspire and the Brooks Adrenaline, the GT-2000 has been a consistent and reliable go-to stability trainer for decades. With the latest version we see the biggest changes from a smoother heel-to-toe transition and less weight. The midsole is updated with a full-length FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning unit and PureGEL™ technology. These features help provide a more energized toe-off with cloud-like softness underfoot. Meanwhile, the 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ consists of wider basenets and an increased heel bevel and forefoot flare. As a result, you’ll experience a super-smooth transition from foot-strike to toe-off. With a solid fit and a great feel the GT-2000 will remain a staple in our line-up of moderate support shoes.
