- This running shoe has a reasonable price compared to other running shoes with more or less the same features and technologies.
Arch Support and Pronation Control
- The arch support of the Asics GT 2000 is for moderate overpronators.
- Moderate overpronation means that the heel’s outer part strikes the ground and then, followed by the foot, slightly rolls inward to absorb the shock, which helps support the body.
- Every person has different needs; that is why you must know your specific needs first, such as the arch and pronation types, before deciding which shoe to pick.
Terrain
- The terrain for Asics GT 2000 is used in terrains such as track, road, and gravel.
- You will surely be able to complete your run in these following terrains because of the shoe’s various features.
- A carbon rubber material is present in the shoe’s outer sole to provide durability, especially on wet surfaces.
- But you should remember that this shoe may not be suitable for trail running because trails need stronger features to survive.
Use
- During normal training, the Asics GT 2000 is perfect to use.

Midsole

- Also, it has to be durable so that the shock absorption will last long.

- It is done by controlling the foot movement.
- Through this, you will be able to experience a smoother heel-to-toe transition.
- Moreover, the Impact Guidance System design offers a smooth heel-to-toe and balanced transition.
- For additional torsional rigidity, which is the shoe’s resistance to twisting forces, the Guidance Trusstic System’s presence helps a lot.
- And lastly, the Guidance Line starts from the heel to the forefoot.
- This vertical flex groove is important for the improvement of gait efficiency.
Upper

- This stability shoe also uses a Personal Heel Fit to provide a customized fit, using two-layer memory foam lining.
- Of course, it also has the Strobel Last with the upper attached to the SpEVA 55 Foam.
- This is for improved cushioning and an averagely soft underfoot feel.
