Review on ASICS GT 2000 Lightning Black Men's Running Shoes by Tutan Beatz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Limited shoe cushioning

I love the GT 2170 and previous versions of the shoe and Asics told me that the GT 2000 is the next version of the shoe but with some so-called improvements. . I contacted Asics after unknowingly buying a GT 1000 (horrible shoe) that had no cushioning at all. There are many reasons why people use these shoes. For me it's about 2 miles a day walking with my sore knees. The moment I got into the GT 2000 I realized that it wasn't some sort of upgrade but a cheaper version with a lot less cushioning compared to the GT 2170. After 3 days I felt uncomfortable in mine knee and i had leg pain. Also. I immediately looked for an older version and found 2 pairs of GT 2160's on Ebay which are 4s when I normally wear 2s. The fit is a bit poor but they are much better than my GT 2000 as my feet and knees immediately feel better when walking. Finally, I despise the new colors of the GT 2000. To the fool at Asics Corporate who decided to replace the best sneakers I've ever had (GT 2170) with this piece of junk, give 1000 birds a shit. I have 2 pairs that I will be using for the next year until I find an alternative to Asics.

Pros
  • FluidRide midsole response and durability
Cons
  • Too long to wait
