The verdict
The GT-2000 13 is a stability shoe that doesn't feel like one. Instead of a hard medial post, it uses a wider base and guidance built into the midsole shape to keep your foot on track, with FF Blast Plus foam and PureGEL in the heel doing the cushioning.
It suits runners who overpronate mildly and want support for daily runs and long runs. It works for heel strikers in particular, and it is a good first stability shoe for anyone wary of the clunky models of the past.
It is a gentler, lighter-touch alternative to the Adrenaline GTS 24, and more supportive than any neutral trainer on the shelf. Fit is secure and true to size, with a padded heel.
“Stability for people who swore they'd never wear a stability shoe.”
