Designed For Neutral Overpronation
Neutral
-
Foot Type
Normal size arches -
Push Off
There is even distribution from the front of the foot. -
Considered Injuries
Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury. -
How your foot contacts the ground
The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight. -
Overpronation
-
Foot Type
Low arches or flat feet -
Push Off
Big toe and second toe do majority of the work. -
Considered Injuries
Shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, heel spurs. -
How your foot contacts the ground
The foot lands on outside of heel, then rolls inward (pronates) excessively, transferring weight to inner edge instead of ball of the foot. -
Strategically constructed to take on the unexpected conditions of the trails, the GT-2000™ 8 Trail running shoe is equipped with excellent cushioning and traction features to navigate the road less traveled in comfort. The GT-2000™ 8 Trail model incorporates GEL® technology based cushioning in the forefoot and rearfoot to suppress impact on the trail head's varying surfaces, while delivering excellent comfort throughout your running workout. DYNAMIC DUOMAX® componentry in the midsole works in conjunction with GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ technology to keep overpronation at bay, while creating a smooth transition in each step. In order to create a faster response in your stride, this shoe implements our FLYTEFOAM® technology that returns to its original state after releasing from ground contact. Additionally, this style's outsole is complemented with a lugged traction pattern to increase grip on loose and slippery surfaces. Fused with engineered cushioning and strategic traction properties, the GT-2000™ 8 Trail running shoe is set to stand up to adventures that might encounter unexpected conditions.
- Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL® Technology Cushioning SystemAttenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.
- FLYTEFOAM® Midsole TechnologyOur FLYTEFOAM® technology provides exceptional bounce back and responsiveness no matter the distance, utilizing organic super fibers to help reduce packing out that traditionally happens with softer, low density foams.
- Dynamic DuoMax™ Support SystemThis evolution of DuoMax® system enhances stability and support, with reduced weight and increased platform support.
- Trusstic System® technologyReduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe.
- Trail Specific OutsoleReversed lugs provide uphill and downhill traction on all types of terrain.
