Asics | Men's GT-2000 9 Running Shoes

Advice for Road Runners: The ASICS GT-2000 9 is a plush and comfortable stability shoe that can be used for picking up the pace. It offers runners a natural underfoot feel that will be great for a variety of speeds and distances. The latest model has been updated for improved fit and comfort in a few areas. The upper of the GT-2000 9 is now made from a one-piece mesh construction, helping to reduce seams that can often cause irritation. No-sew overlays are placed in strategic places to reinforce the upper. Areas such as the arch are reinforced with more support, whereas other areas are left open. The reinforced areas in the upper help control excess movement and work in harmony with the DYNAMIC DUOMAX foam structure in the midsole.

The heel features Rearfoot GEL for a high level of cushioning and helps slow down foot and leg rotates for holistic support. GEL is also placed in the forefoot to offer more cushioning and provide a smooth foot transition. FLYTEFOAM cushioning is used throughout the rest of the midsole, providing a lightweight and responsive feel that is also highly protective.

Added stability is delivered via DYNAMIC DUOMAX, a foam structure consisting of a dense layer with a softer layer of foam on top. This provides support with natural feel and works well for runners who commonly get problems in the arch area.

The outsole features a combination of durable rubbers. AHARPLUS is used on areas that are prone to the highest levels of abrasion with lighter AHAR sponge rubber used on other areas to add cushioning and keep weight down.

This is a well cushioned stability shoe that will offer protection for runners will mild to moderate instability, alongside good energy return. It's best suited to slower to steadier paced runs and some speed work. 

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles. Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes). This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to b
