Looking forward to this shoe, more than I was the Tempus although it grew on me for long and recovery runs. Still enjoying gt 2000 v10 but will pick these up! You had me when I could use it for a marathon as I’m using my super shoes less and less to stay healthy.

Yesterday I purchased the same it's really good ..

I use Nimbus 25, but this is a great looking shoe and will go to my local asics shop and try it on to feel it..!

Great review. Is the stability the same as the GT 2000 11? Like you, I rip my shoes up pretty fast, especially on the outside of the shoe on my left foot (under my little toe). In fact, for some shoes I use Shoe Goo, and it helps a lot. If the wear become too acute, my left hip starts to hurt.

It's one of only a handful of stability running shoes with an extra wide option.

This is my running shoe and I've done a few races in them. I'm looking for a raceday shoe or supershoe. Which shoe would give me some stability and durability.

Is this a good shoes for running a 1.5 mile run in 15 minutes or less and for PT in the police academy?

[ptlewis]

Tempus or GT 2000 12 for BQ marathon, post PTTD? Entertaining doing a test marathon like I did with the Zoom Fly 4 which beat my super shoes, except no super shoe for the later mile stability.

When does this shoe soften up? I’ve only run 25k so far but my gawd it’s not a fun shoe to run in so far. Very stiff and harsh on the feet, and it gives me hot spots on the bottom of my feet. Picking up the pace makes it a little easier but easy pace within Zone 2 and it’s brutal.

I love my Asics GT 2000 12 ! But I only less than 40 miles and so far is is far better than my old Kayano Lite 3 and Gel-Kayano 29. It is also a more nimble and comfortable shoes than a SolarBoost 5 ...

[johnfred]

I now have the 11 and need the stability due to some bad ankles due to previous injuries. Is the 12 as stable as the 11, the new specs sound a bit more flexible, so I'm a bit in doubt.

How does this shoe deal with long runs? Currently run in the Guide 16 which are great, but anything past 10mi start to feel uncomfortable (not super soft or protective)

Thanks for this review. I don't run, I go on walks for exercise. Which do you think is better for walking, the GT-2000 or the Kayano 30? I know the Kayano 30 has more stack height, but I'm wondering if the slightly lesser heel to toe drop on the GT-2000 would make for a smoother transition during walking.

[DarkPaadin]

If i prioritise cush, will kayano 30 be the best?

[domenkoracin]

I cant decide between normal gt 2000 12 and trail version 12. I run on a light-mid gravel 60% and 40% on asphalt and sometimes in woods. Is trail version mich stiffer ride and how many miles do you get from them befor they loose bounce and start deteroerating foam?

[pnthd]

This or arahi 6 better for overpronation?

[-robertmoskal]

Great info as always! Custom Orthotics vs Stability Shoes…which do you recommend for chronic ankle/lower-leg injuries?

[cesarrodriguez]

Idk if I need a stability shoe but after knee pain and injuries it's been difficult to put in the miles I use to run. I'm 5'9" 210lb mainly active and my pains have been around the left top side of my left foot and knees towards the inside. Between this and the cumulus, what would double as a gym shoe and good for the long runs?

[jessgan]

I am using GT1000 12 currently.
Should i still purchase GT2000 12?

[sethdbrown]

How do these compare with Hoka Mach 6? I know Mach 6 is not a stability shoe, but the midsole shape and sidewalks look very similar.
