Promoting a lightweight ride, the GT-2000™ 8 running shoe from ASICS is designed to provide appropriate comfort and protection for runners in seeking a performance stability shoe. The GT-2000™ 8 road running shoe features an updated GEL® technology piece and a softer section of foam in the heel for improved comfort and shock absorption. The lightweight FLYTEFOAM® technology midsole offers a soft landing with each stride, so you can experience a more energetic stride. The upper features a lightweight engineered mesh that allows better air circulation to keep your skin feeling dry and refreshed. Thanks to the combination of DYNAMIC DUOMAX® technology and TRUSSTIC SYSTEM® technology in the midfoot, these applications keep your feet stable and supported. When you're looking for a smooth ride, the GT-2000™ 8 road running shoe is the model for you.
Pronation
Pronation is part of the natural movement of the human body and refers to the way your foot rolls inward for impact distribution upon landing. Understanding your pronation type can help you find a comfortable running shoe. The GT-2000 8 is made for Neutral and Overpronation.
Under
Neutral
Over
Neutral
Foot Type
Normal size arches
Push Off
There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
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.
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.
Product Features
Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL® Technology Cushioning System
Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.
FlyteFoam® Midsole Technology
Our 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 System
This evolution of DuoMax® system enhances stability and support, with reduced weight and increased platform support.
Trusstic System® technology
Reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe.
Engineered Mesh Upper
Multi-directional mesh material improves ventilation and stability.
AHAR® Outsole
Acronym for ASICS High Abrasion Rubber. Placed in critical areas of the outsole for exceptional durability.

Great shoesAwesome shoes, great support, they're not quite the most amazing at cushioning but I do a lot of road running so that's to be expected.

GT-2000 8 Does Not DisappointThis is a great running shoe for those with flat feet and I am very happy to return to ASICS after a 7 month hiatus. I run on the treadmill every other day going 3 to 5 miles. The GT-2000 8 provides the needed support especially around the heel.

Comfy but will they last?I’ve only had this pair for a month... the real test is about ..Will the top fabric over the big toe last as long as the rest of the shoe.

I Love this ShoeI jog a few times a week less than 2 miles and workout with weight and cardio training almost daily. This is a stable shoe that has medium firm cushion and I love them!
