Review of Asics GT-2000 6 sneakers

Comfortable and ergonomic sneakers from the Japanese corporation Asics are deservedly popular among professional sprinters. Ordinary people who lead a healthy lifestyle and run in the morning also love them. One of the latest releases of the GT-2000 model series deserves special attention.

Review of Asics GT-2000 6 sneakers

The sixth generation remained true to most of the external and functional characteristics of the series. However, the developers have made a number of changes and also added several details to improve the product.

Features of the line

General points characteristic of all generations of Asics GT-2000:

1. The shape of the shoe is classic, comfortable, suitable for people with a neutral foot shape and hyperpronation (rolling inward) of the foot.
2. The multi-layer sole, consisting of a combination of several high-tech synthetic materials, provides good shock absorption when moving. The height difference from heel to toe is 10 mm. There is a special gel in the midsole cavity.
3. The upper part consists of several layers. The inner layer is soft and smooth, so your feet feel comfortable during long workouts. The outer mesh layer provides good air and heat exchange. At the same time, it protects from external moisture, unless, of course, you get caught in heavy rain. On top of the mesh you can see many overlays, including the company logo. And the “fresh” the model, the less of them are sewn on, and the more of them are applied using the injection method.
4. The heel is securely fixed due to dense inserts. The insole is thick, antimicrobial, and has lateral arch support to support the foot.

How does the Asics GT-2000 6 differ from previous versions?

The new sneaker model retains its bright and expressive design, but has as many as eight color options. One look at the shoes is enough to make you want to put them on and take them for a test run. Let's look at the key innovations:

1. The shape of the block has changed: it has become a little narrower in the front part.
2. Super light weight: for the men's pair it is about 600 g, for the women's pair - 470 g.
3. The fabric adjacent to the skin has become more durable and does not fray.
4. The sole has increased wear resistance due to the use of foam components, for example, abrasive carbon rubber.
5. Advanced FlyteFoam material in the midsole reduces the impact of running.
6. In the toe area, a heat-sealed urethane print is applied directly to the mesh to help maintain the shape of the shoe.
7. Breathability has increased due to through holes on the side polyurethane inserts on the inside.
8. The convenient lacing system also helps stabilize the foot.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the positive aspects of the sixth version are the following:

1. Lightest weight compared to other models.
2. Improved shock absorption.
3. Increased strength and abrasion resistance.
4. Good vapor permeability, which ensures comfortable training in the warm season.
5. Quite a reasonable price.
6. Variety of colors.

The disadvantages include:

1. Slightly narrowed toe, so it is better to buy shoes half a size larger.
2. Through perforation can result in moisture getting inside, for example, during rain.
3. Sneakers are more suitable for running on flat surfaces: asphalt, concrete, tiles, well-trodden paths.
4. When the user weighs more than 93 kg, shock absorption properties deteriorate.

The GT-2000 6 sneakers are a versatile piece of equipment for daily cardio training with a proven set of technologies from Asics. Almost weightless, but reliable, they minimize the risk of joint injury. The model is suitable for both professional runners and beginners just starting out in the sport.
