Price

The MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) for Asics GT 2000 11 will be around $130.
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.
There are different needs for every person; 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 bear in mind that this shoe may not be suitable for trail running because trails need stronger features for you to survive.

Use

During normal training, the Asics GT 2000 is perfect to use.
As a matter of fact, it will help you improve your performance to become a better runner.
This shoe is not that lightweight; that is why it cannot do speed work.
If you want to improve your speed work, you may opt for much lighter running shoes.

Durability

The Asics GT 2000 11 is High Abrasion Rubber (AHAR).
When it comes to the Asics GT 2000, it is durable, but it also does not easily break down.
This stability running shoe has features that increase the durability of this shoe.
Other than that, other features are well distributed in the shoe’s different parts.

Fit and Sizing

The Asics GT 2000 base fit is for the medium-sized heel, mid-foot, and forefoot feet.
These features mean that there is enough space inside the shoe that can accommodate medium-sized feet.
But it is more advantageous to have a wider forefoot because this offers better comfort, and you will also be able to move your feet around.
On the other hand, the sizing is normal, just like most running shoes today. The lighter shoes tend to have smaller sizes.

Weight

The Asics GT 2000 weighs approximately 312 grams for men and approximately 261 grams for women.
This weight is not heavy; actually, its weight is considered light compared to other Stability running shoes out there.

Elevation of the Asics® GT-2000 11

Heel Height

The heel height for men and women in the Asics GT 2000 is 33.7 mm and 32.2 mm.
This height is enough to protect your heel against debris, such as rocks or stones on the road.

Forefoot Height

It is also important to give protection to the forefoot during running, just like the heel.
The forefoot height of the Asics GT 2000 men’s version measures 24.6 mm, while that of the women’s version measures 24.1 mm.

Heel-to-Toe Drop

In Asics GT 2000, the heel-to-toe drop for men and women is 9.1 mm and 8.1 mm.
This drop is relatively higher compared to the drops of other running shoes.

Components of the Asics GT 2000 11

Outsole

The outer sole of the Asics GT 2000 is made of High Abrasion Rubber (AHAR) found in the heel.
This carbon rubber material provides exceptional durability to the shoe, exactly where it is needed while running.
With enough durability, you will not have to worry about your shoes collapsing anytime, which could even stop your running momentum.
Aside from the AHAR, the outer sole also has the DuraSponge, placed specifically in the forefoot to provide flexibility and cushioning.
This feature is made from an AHAR compound.
This is very helpful in providing effective shock absorption during impact.

Midsole

The midsole of the Asics GT 2000 is made from Solyte, an ultra-light midsole, which is very effective in providing cushioning that is responsive and durable.
Having responsive cushioning implies that you can rely on it, especially during impact landing.
It effectively absorbs the shock; thus, you will fully protect your feet.
Also, it has to be durable so that the shock absorption will last long.
With the presence of the FluidRide, it provides responsive cushioning, which is also responsible for increasing the shoe’s durability and reducing its weight.
This shoe is specifically for people who overpronate.
The advantage of the Asics GT 2000 is that it has the Dynamic DuoMax to reduce overpronation.
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 also offers a smooth heel-to-toe transition and a balanced one.
For additional torsional rigidity, which is the shoe’s resistance to twisting forces, the Guidance Trusstic System’s presence helps a lot.
And lastly, there is the Guidance Line that starts from the heel to the forefoot.
This vertical flex groove is important for the improvement of gait efficiency.

Upper

The upper of the Asics GT 2000 is made up of comprised of an open mesh.
The open mesh keeps the feet cool and dry for the whole duration of the run.
This adds to the comfort that you can feel from this shoe.
The Reinforced Vamp also increases the durability of the shoe by adding a seamless mesh overlay.
Likewise, the Discrete Eyelets help get rid of lace tension and improve this shoe’s comfort.
The upper of this running shoe also has an anti-bacterial material called the ComforDry Sockliner, which reduces the moisture and odor that builds up inside the shoe and adds cushioning.
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.
