GT-2000 12

How do you like the ASICS GT 2000 14? I have two pairs of the 12s that I love and am so sad that they’re not being made anymore!

Thank you so much for such a detailed reply! Funnily enough, right after posting my comment, I managed to track down another pair of 12s in my size and immediately ordered them. Lol. I’m glad to know that the 14s work well and am hoping that I can stick with the GT 2000 line. I really like balance between stability and comfort that I get from them. I feel your pain with tibial tendon inflammation. I’m working through shin splits with a physio right now and had no idea that they could be this painful!

I started with Asics GT 1000-12, upgraded to 2000-12 and now on 2000-13. All 3 of them served me well, did ~800km and at 180odd in 2000-13.. I do recommend them and all are below 10k. I had to get one size bigger than my usual though, don't know if it's universal. Looking at Novablast for speed currently.

I also found the ASICS GT 2000 12 too firm but I was new to running when I bought it and didn't realise that it was more a supportive shoe. I just booked it because of the cool sounding name 😄. I've gained experience since then. One thing I'll say is I've been recommending the ASICS gel excite 11 to everyone. It's a hidden gem with it being one of the less talked about models. It's not super trainer league but it's an amazing daily trainer. And I'm so glad I gave it a chance. It's just fun to run in and can handle some pace. It'll also take good care of your feet. Mine is the mild TR version at £67. Give it a try if you can. Hope this has been a help 😀

The GT 2000 12 or 13 are going to be a bit firmer than the Arahi, Kayano is more plush. The GT 2000 14 that just came out are completely different. Saucony guide is another good one to try out.

If the gt 2000 feels good when you run on them in the store, then they'll probably work for you. Try on and run in other shoes though. I personally like the previous version (12/13) of the GT more.

Try the new GT 2000. It's more like the kayano 30 tbh than the new kayano.

It's 8mm. But feels like 8-10

LOVE Kayanos and GT 2000!! Currently in 30 and 12 respectively, have gone through a few but they have been my absolute favorites! Kayanos for me are outdoor shoes right now, I find them a little heavy for the speeds in OTF, I use the GT for OTF because they’re light but still cushy. I have a low arch and did try the brooks adrenaline GTS (21?) for one day and returned them immediately. My knees were killing me after a day of working in them (I work in healthcare).

This was me: GT2000 12 did a great job of giving me a stable guiding platform to develop leg and esp ankle strength, while building proper form. Since then, I’m totally fine on neutral shoes. Similarly, I imagine a shoe like the Kayano can be great if you’re on the heavier side and/or need some extra stability for longer runs, where form may become sloppy as you get tired.

I have Asics GT 2000 12 and Asics GT 2000 13; best running shoes and recommended by my dr. I just received my Asics GT 2000 14 and they are not comfortable for me. Dr Robert Inglis my physical therapy dr analyzed my feet and my gait to determine what is the best shoes and models are best for feet so I can exercise better and avoid plantar fasciitis. His analyses made a huge difference. But now with the GT 2000 14 changes ,I don't want new problems .
