The GT-2000 v12 is perfection! Soft, stable, and lightweight. I tried the Kayano 30 but it was too soft, and clunky. This is a good alternative to any Kayano fans that do not like the new revamping of the shoe. I have been dealing with a mild post tib tendonitis and plantar fasciitis, and the GT-2000 did not aggravate any of these conditions while running in them.

GT2000 is my favourite shoe of all time. Even if the technology develops, its still possible for me to get a new pair of GT2000 of the shelf and then go to a starting line. The old familiar feautures are still there and the less desirable have developed. The cushioning is now using when you need it too in stead of supporting you through the whole stride.

I have been wearing the GT-2000 series since 2012, when my physical therapist suggested I give it a try. The last couple of updates have been disappointing and had me looking at other brands. But for my feet and my running style, the version 12 is 100% right. I am so glad I tried one more time. The shoe is what it states it is, a stability shoe with a wide toe box (no smashed toes), not the fastest, but a good, comfortable every day running shoe, and walking too.
