The ASICS GT 2000 14 is a reliable stability shoe, ideal for runners seeking support during their training. Lab analyses indicate that the updated FF Blast Max foam provides a statistically significant boost in energy return.
Additionally, the outsole demonstrates notable durability, contributing to its overall performance. However, testing revealed two drawbacks: the toebox has a narrow and tapered fit, while the dense upper material may limit ventilation.
