Introduction
The ASICS GT-2000 13 is designed with stability and comfort in mind, particularly for over pronators looking for moderate support in their running shoes.
Midsole
The GT-2000 13 incorporates ASICS’ FLYTEFOAM technology, delivering a lightweight, responsive, and cushioned ride. The midsole design is more adaptable than previous models, giving a smooth transition and better shock absorption. Additionally, the shoe uses a LiteTruss support system, which enhances stability by providing extra support to the medial side. This setup aims to prevent overpronation while still allowing for natural movement, making it suitable for runners who want a blend of comfort and stability.
Upper
The GT-2000 13 upper features an engineered knit mesh, which is a step up from traditional materials in terms of comfort and breathability. This knit material provides a snug fit that adapts to the shape of the foot without being too restrictive. It also promotes airflow, helping to keep the feet cool during runs. The overall design is meant to offer a flexible and secure fit that moves with the runrunnerl
Outsole
ASICS employs its signature AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) technology in the outsole, which gives the GT-2000 13 durability and grip on various surfaces. The AHAR rubber is strategically placed in high-wear areas to extend the shoe’s lifespan, while flex grooves provide additional flexibility. This results in a smooth, stable running experience on both roads and light trails, making it a versatile choice for different training environments.
Overall Impression
The ASICS GT-2000 13 is a reliable option for runners seeking moderate stability without compromising comfort. Its improved midsole cushioning, breathable upper, and durable outsole combine to create a balanced shoe suitable for everyday training.
Having tested the GT-2000 13 at the recent Dublin Marathon, Asics has got my vote for making Asics the number 1 go to shoe for long endured running events, with long lasting comfort and the fantastic support all round, including its incredible light weight so you can control the impact of your landing.
