Asics GT-2000 8 Review

Asics models are among some of the best quality running shoes in the industry, and this shoe is no exception. The Asics GT-2000 8 is one of our top choices for runners with flat feet. They possess a strong, vertical flex groove to promote healthy and enhanced transitions, as well as flexibility with its top-notch cushioning.

The Asics GT-2000 8 running shoes are built specifically for those with overpronation. This means that, when your foot contacts the ground, your body's weight is transferred to the inner edge of your foot instead of the ball of the foot, and your foot type is usually flat or low-arched.

There are many aspects to the GT-2000 8 that make them high-performing running shoes. First, they are built with impact guidance system technology to increase the foot's natural gait from heel to toe. The shoe's Dynamic Duomax support system enhances both support and stability by increasing platform support and reducing weight. Additionally, an exoskeletal heel counter allows for further assistance and a fitted heel, and its innovative Guidance Trusstic System technology is constructed to improve gait efficiency while also providing structure for the mid-foot.

The mid-foot overlays give a supportive wraparound feel, specifically in the arch. On the note of mid-foot support, Asics FluidRide technology in the midsole allows for 1) efficient bounce back and 2) cushioning for remarkable stability and reduced weight. Essentially, the GT-2000 series is well-known for being high performing running shoes with all kinds of exceptional Asics technologies to provide the support your flat feet need while you run.

Along with being high-performing running shoes, the Asics GT-2000 8 is known for providing top-quality comfort and cushioning. A GEL cushioning system in both the rearfoot and the forefoot areas attenuate shock during impact and toe-off actions. This system is built to promote movement in many plans while your foot transitions through the gait cycle.

Their HG10MM Heel Gradient also provides more support by shifting body mass forward, reducing stress on lower limbs. More forefoot cushioning is supported by the DURASponge outsole, which is made from a blown AHAR rubber compound for increased durability. This AHAR rubber is also used in other critical areas of the outsole for even more strength.

The GT-2000 8 also possess premium ComforDry sock liners with many rebound properties. This allows for increased moisture management and top-notch breathability. The upper features a traditional lace-up closure, which is old but gold when keeping the shoe secure and snug.

For female athletes, they also have gender-specific cushioning where the top layer of the midsole is a lower-density so you can utilize the assets of midsole compression. Like most shoes, the GT-2000 8 shoes are ultimately comfortable when they are broken into. Primarily, their excellent cushioning and exceptional arch support provide security and stability for runners with flat feet.

The cost of these shoes is one of the most debated aspects of the shoe. Thankfully, you can purchase them at places like Zappos or Dick's Sporting Goods at excellent prices. Considering the technologies in these Asics shoes that provide comfort, stability, and durability for runners with flat feet, these shoes are great for road terrain and daily running, and are well-known for being high quality. Whether or not the shoes are worth the price is up to the individual athlete.
