I'm loving these shoes! A great all rounder for me. I find them great for tempo runs.

I bought it from ASICS direct and at first I had some issues with rubbing against the side of my foot. I’ve changed the lacing and after 100km in the shoe including an hour of non stop running I was surprised how good my legs felt after running in them. They are working for me.

It is indeed a delight of shoes to use for running ! The GT 2000 12 shoes made me forget the awesome Kayano Lite 3 that was one of the best shoes I have used in 2022/2023 ! The only thing now that I miss from my old Kayano Lite 3 is that Asics didn't use again their best laces ever made for cushioning shoes.

I’ve been waiting for this review. It’s a great shoe! I do find it a tad long, but very comfortable and stable.

Excellent review. Would you pair these with a Super blast for stability although a super blast is described as neutral? What would you suggest is quicker?

Hey Fordy! Fantastic content as always! Interesting perspective on this one! I have been in Kayano 30 for a bit and was hoping to jump into a new Vongo V6 (or wait for Tempus V2), but may have to give this one a look! Hope your training is going well and go CRUSH NYC. South Carolina is routing for you!

Great info!

This is the best update in a long time. I’ve been getting back in after a bad injury and this is the right combination of cushion and stability. I work at a running shoe store, so my options are profound, but I find myself reaching for the GT most mornings

Discovered that ASICS has a TR version goodness!

totally agree with your statement it became my daily driver i don't get shin pain any more. Asics did an amazing job with this version ! great video

Good afternoon. Thanks for this information about the gt2000 12. The novablast 4 is coming....... Like to Fordy. A nice monday for everyone.

Hey Fordy: About to pull the trigger on the Guide 16 but now in doubt. Is the GT2000 12 softer a less responsive ? (not fan of the Novablast sinking feeling, my preferences goes towards superblast firmness instead)

Would love to know how the gt2000 12 compares to the Saucony guide 15? Can't decide between them

How the breathability of the upper compared to some of the other Asics shoes this year? Does this one run warm too?

GT2000/12 is the best stability option on the market, light stable with pop. premium shoe and feels great easy runs upto 4min/km

Great review. I'm considering this to complement my 860v13 for faster session.

I'll be running in a pair of these for my upcoming marathon in a week and can't wait!

I do wear a half insole in my running shoes, would you suggest putting it in these as well or just stick to the shoe support? Thanks in advance.

Will these be good for a marathon under 4 hr. Im undcieded between these and novablast 4 . I have the nimbus 25 and hate it. Also have nova3 and like it .

Well for you to make that claim it really must be that good! I was put in Asics on day 1 (GT1000) I’ve recently been enjoying running in the GT2000 V11’s and I’ve loved being back there…so looks like I’ll be making a ‘Fordy recommend’ purchase on the V12 👍🏻

Fordy...what would you use for race day that compares to this?

Kayano 30 is my first stability shoe I really like and really enjoy running in. Finally something that addresses my pronation without killing my feet due to firmness and/ or pressure on my arch (like Tempus and all the others did). The amount of cushioning is very enjoyable. Not interested in its little brother reviewed here because I'm not giving up comfort that Kayano 30 provides for a little livelier ride. I like this trend with high stack and new, better foams, even with this version of EVA (FF Blast +), which is infinitely better than the classic firm and dull EVA. There is some liveliness in Blast+, not too much, but it's there. I see new Novablast 4 is coming, it might be interesting shoe under condition the price is close to reasonable like with the previous model. I had to wait for 3-4 months, I think, for Kayano 30 to become reasonably priced (I paid ca 150 €). Asics made a few good shoes lately, just the pricing is a big problem. Till the prices drop, I usually lose the interest for the particular shoe. Paying 200 € for the shoe with EVA foam, no matter how good version it is, is just stupid, in my opinion. If it were PEBA, that would be much different proposition.

I’ve just purchased these for my half marathon training….would these be fine to wear on the actual half or should I buy a specific race day shoe? (Over pronation)

How would you compare this to the New Balance Vongo V6?

Just ordered the GTX version for this disgusting Canadian winters. Hoping this solves some minor overpronating issues.

Great review Fordy, enough cushioning for long runs? Need to replace my vongo v5 and I don’t fancy the v6

Great review! When you say "possibly not for race day" - why not? What would be a better shoe?

Do you think it’s better then the kayano in terms of stability?

Thanks for this. I just bought the Kayano 30 and then I saw your review. I wish I had bought the GT-2000 instead. I don't really like the 10mm heel to toe drop on the Kayano. The GT-2000 is lower at 8. How is the toe box on the GT-2000 compared to the Kayano 30? I need some room in that area.

Nice1 Fordy! Hows the arch support? Got flat feet and dont like too much picking in the arch

Big fan of the ASICS GT-2000 12, I 100% agree with everything you said. I'm debating on if I should run a marathon in this shoe or not, as I have not found a racer that comes in a 2E wide. Thoughts on GT-2000 12 for a marathon distance?

Asics' stability shoes' outsole seems to have better traction than their neutral shoes'.

Hey Fordy, how would you compare the GT 2000 12 to the Saucony Tempus?

What’s the width like? I have a wide foot. Great video

I love my GT2000 12, better than the kayano 30!

Sizing? I am “ in between” i go Down in hoka Rincon and true in saucony ride…. 😵‍💫

I have the Kayano 30 and do like it but its a bit clunky. Can i use these in conjunction with the Kayano for tempo days for example?

Brilliant shoe.I'm enjoying running again ❤❤❤ boring. Yes, I don't care it works well for me. It does mostly everything 👍👍

I have just tried it and don't like it at all. Yes, the stability elements work subtle. But though the midsole reads FFBlast+, it is very hard, probably only a thin layer of FFBlast+ on top of something else. And it gives me no transition from heel to toe, makes me slow. For a trainer, I find it to hard, for a speed shoe it is to slow. Not the right shoe for me.

Would supinators be ok to wear this shoe?

Buenas tardes, necesito que me ayuden porfavor a emcontrar zapatillas anchas para pronador, peso 86 kilos y las quiero para correr mayormente entre asfalto y tierra. Gracias. Tengo el modelo de la reseña y por el momento van bien. saludos

I love ASICS for running but I feel that these wouldn’t be the best for running on a tread

Sorry to say but this is not the best review because you don't talk about your actual foot fitting into the shoe such as toe spread and how the shoe fits at the heel. When running you spring off of your toes, those toes spread. Yes you do mention the wide platform but that is on the outside of the shoe and you mention that you don't feel any internal stability, what does that mean, is there any movement of the foot? All you say is that it fits true to size.
