Runner’s World Review

We were excited about the direction of the GT-2000 4 a year ago, and given the midsole and outsole are unchanged here, we really like the fifth iteration of this series, too. “Long-time lovers of the 2000 will love this one,” says Rique Campa, a 60-year-old tester from Perry, Michigan, who has run in versions of the GT-2000 since 1996. “It has always been a staple of my running. The shoe isn’t anything fancy, which is good for me, but it provides all-around good support and is comfortable for pounding out the miles.” Other testers echoed those sentiments and praised the shoe’s comfort. A seamless upper offers a smooth wrap of the foot and good breathability.

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
