My daughter bought me the GT-2000 14 in Monument and white and I loved it. My feet felt very stable , The toe box was just right and overall it was very comfortable shoe. So I bought another pair in all black so I can alternate with my dress shoes when I work late. The all black seemed to be a different shoe. The toe box of the right shoe seemed smaller that my pinky toe would get squeezed. Also it seemed that right shoe supinated does negating the stability form of the shoe. This pair was purchased on Nov 9 and it is destined to the pile of shoes to be donated. Looks I will be sticking to my trusty BR**KS.
I was previously using Kayano 31 shoes. After running 1000 km with them, I switched to this new GT-2000 14. I'm very happy; they are very soft but responsive and lighter than the Kayano 31, also less bulky.
Love the fit. Love the feel. Fabric already ripping on the upper though.
i really really like this model especially because the 'heel counter' is so solid. the previous models have been mostly crap and getting your foot sometimes-with socks & without- into the shoe without the heel counter collapsing was beyond frustrating but BOOM the 14 made that go away like a bad cold. i do have to add i have a solid plastic arch support i wear 24/7 adding to the equation. i wear my Asics year round in VT even in the winter. I've been an Asics GT2000 wearer since model 6, I think. thank you.
I recently had two hip replacements and started walking as therapy. I bought the Nimbus. My left foot tends to moderately overpronate so the foam sinks and causes the ankle to roll inward more. I decided to add the GTS 2000 since it still had a decent cushioning. I've noticed that the shoes angles my foot outward to prevent the rolling. Since the GTS-2000 is much lighter, I tend to use it on my faster walks. 3 months after surgery, I'm walking a mile in about 20 minutes, almost completely normal.
This is probably my 10th or 11th consecutive pair of various models of Asics walking shoes. Obviously, a fan. I usually give 5 stars, but the fit on these is a little different, causing a little toe pain from tightness and rubbing - likely a defective pair - but I dunno. Hoping to develop sufficient callous shortly or I'll likely seek a replacement pair. STILL an avid Asics fan.
A massive fan for over 7 years of the GT2000s. Many pairs. But since version 12 they are terrible. I just tried the 14's, still terrible. Since v12, the tounge is thin / not nearly as supportive and the shape of the sole is wildly different. It feels like an entirely different model of shoe. Unfortunately, I will be returning the 14's and finding another brand that matches the 11's.
First run/walk two miles. T-Pace approximately 10 minutes. Mostly aerobic pace 20 minutes the rest. Trail in Boulder County Colorado. The feel is light and fast. Better than previous version. Comfortable and looking forward to running 100m strides on the track. Highly recommended ASICS like great Novablast 5, but lower on the ground for more better fit quick paces.
So far I am overall happy with the GT2000 14. The cushioning is good and the fit is good. I was not able to wear the GT 2000 13 model due to hurting my knees when I walked with them. The 14's seem to be a good improvement and are not hurting my knees. I wish the laces were a little longer and I still can't get used to the thin shoe tongue's.
These shoes are very comfortable for walking. My goal weekly is 82000 steps at a moderate pace. These shoes fit the bill. I ordered a half size larger than my regular shoes and they fit well. The width is fine. My walking is on both hard surfaces and walking paths. I am 75 years old and live in the Chicago suburbs.
