Nice shoes for anything you do with your feet.
This is my third pair of this particular shoe and I've been totally happy with them for years now. They fit well and are very comfortable. I see no weaknesses at this point.

Third pair
This is my second pair of GT-2000 13s, and prior had GT-2000 12s. I think they are good lightweight stability trainers. They feel pretty speedy and good feel for the road, but I feel pretty secure in them.

Fit Great!
okay, I've been wearing the same GT-2000 series for decades, but they are just tried and true, fit great and feel great. The changes made since the last model feel even better, a little more cushion and maybe even a little lighter. They are great shoes.

Classic running shoe
This is probably about my 10th pair of the ASICS GT-2000 shoe. They fit me well every time! Other older runners have said to me they have the same shoe and they love them.
