I used to run in GT-2000, but thought that they lost stability when they went to the knit upper design. Instead I tried the Adrenaline and have been very happy with them. I have also run in Nimbus and Kayano and the Adrenaline feels as komfortable as the Nimbus and as stable as the Kayano. I also like the classic look of the Adrenaline better.
Good points made. Stability shows shooting be marketed differently.. You don't need to be pronating already to buy a pair.... The support helps reduce the chance of later becoming a pronator
I returned my women's size 7, ASICS GT-2000 12, I found them too soft and my feet were sliding around in them. I purchased the Adrenalines GTS 23, size 7.5 instead. They are firmer and more snug, and I'm happier with them.
Anyone with (very) wide feet .. I suggest trying the Adrenalines. I've trained and ran 2 marathons buying various 4E width GT-2000s for years, admittedly not the v12, but I've just bought the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 in 4E and the width is amazing. I'm not that fussed about soft/bounce, as I adjust with insoles anyway.
I've never commented on your videos, but it's long overdue. At this point, you're the only guys I watch (online), when it comes to shoe review. Keep it up, boys! I'm sidelined (fifth week of no running, due to a stress fracture in the knee), so watching what you all are producing has helped keep me close to the sport and hoping for better health in the late-fall/early winter.
I love the softer landings of the ASICS over the brooks, but the guiderails stability ultimately wins out in the long term for me. ASICS just digs into my arch way too much at around mile 2 to be comfortable for longer runs. I get that “it’s doing its job” since that’s why I’m feeling it, but if I’m limping back home and having to cut my runs short that doesn’t do me any good. I wish Asics and Brooks had a baby. That would be my perfect shoe.
I have a narrow foot and found the Adrenaline GTS22 a perfect fit for me. Same with the Ghost 14 which I purchased in Gortex for competing on dewy grass. I was so excited to upgrade to the 23 but was so disappointed to discover that the fabric is way more luminous in the toe box in comparison to the 22 making it unsuitable for my feet. The same with the Ghost 15. The lace holes almost meet up there’s that much excess fabric. I thought I’d try the ASICS GT2000 based on your review but unfortunately, the design swamped my foot. I used to wear them a few years back and they had a narrower toe box back then. I’m also not a fan of the elf heel counter. Looks like I’m going to have to buy a few pairs of the GTS22 to keep me going! Thanks for your review.
When it comes to Brooks it starts off nice for me and then after that I don't find myself wanting to pick them up and running them anymore I guess they don't give that much back as far as energy return or just a lively feeling shoe. The GT2000 for sure is going to be the more fun shoe for me and on top of that Brooks shoes tend to feel a bit more clunky and my feet gets hotter in those shoes and I'm not for sure why
I have worn the GT2000 for many years and just got the brooks and noticed my feet get hotter and I got blisters after a half marathon. I have run many full marathons in the GT’s and never got blisters.
I searched out this video because I have worn the GT 2000 for many years and was convinced to try the brooks adrenaline 23. I did a 10km run and felt fine. Then did a half marathon and came home with blisters, and then did a 28km run and was hurting. The brooks have less cushion up front for a harder impact and my feet were so hot. I have a 60km road race coming up and think I need to go buy a pair of GT2000. I feel let down by the person who sold me the brooks. They will just be for short runs now.
thanks for the video. sorry if the following question is not relevant - any of these shoes (or others you know) better for walking (I'm not much of a runner) for someone with flat feet? thanks.
I’m a neutral runner and with Asics, I strongly prefer their newest support/stability offerings over neutral-Kayano over the Nimbus and GT2000 over the the Cumulus. Nimbus is too “marshmellowy” and the Cumulus is just sloppy and meh 🫤.
It's like picking your first car.. If you could choose.. World you lick 6a portable 911? (Best handling.. Stable in corners, fast...) Or do you pick a clumsy SUV night designed for agility?? Kids should start with durability shoes...Y adults should wear more stability shows.. Not for handicapped or O'Toole who assistant private
Depends on what you want! The adrenaline is lighter, firmer and a little more versatile into faster paces. The glycerin gts is softer, a little heavier and better at easier paces -Matt
It’s underrated that he holds both shoes in frame the whole video every time.
I really appreciate this.

Thank you so much! That means the world to us. Hope your recovery goes well and you’re back to running soon!

Which shoes did you end up with
I stocked up on both the GTS22 and Ghost 14 when they were on sale. Both styles suit my narrow foot.

Adrenaline’s drop is too high. They need to bring that down to 10mm and make those guide rails look nicer.
12 mm is heel, I mean deal breaker 👠
Saucony tempus or gt 2000 12?
Two very different shoes, but if tempus works for you then they definitely win.
Which of these shoes is better for training classes indoor do you think?
Like running around with some jumps etc.
It's like picking your first car.. If you could choose.. World you lick 6a portable 911? (Best handling.. Stable in corners, fast...) Or do you pick a clumsy SUV night designed for agility??

how does the asics 2000 12 compared to the 11 in terms of stability ?
which shoe is better for daily walking with over 15K or 20K steps?
I also wonder this
I use Adrenaline GTS22. It gives better support on the heels.
Which one is better glycerine gts20 or adrenaline gts23
Depends on what you want! The adrenaline is lighter, firmer and a little more versatile into faster paces. The glycerin gts is softer, a little heavier and better at easier paces
-Matt
which one is better for plantar fasciitis?
No best shoe that directly helps with PF, just have to find what is most comfortable for you (different to each person).
Anyone knows what's the difference in the GT-200 Lite version?
The lite version is just more reflective to be seen at night.
Should i go for adizero sl or gts22/23
For daily 3 mile distance
GTS22
Is there a difference in arch support between the two?
Yes. The GT 2000 feels like there is more arch support on the actual arch (midfoot), whereas the Adrenaline feels like it is more centered in the heel
Perhaps the Glycerin 20 GTS would be a more up to date midsole on the Brooks side
Brooks Glycerin GTS 20 is more comparable to the Asics Kayano 30.
@@DoctorsofRunning Indeed... Brooks needs to update this midsole asap, just too old school by now.
Would also like to see that new Hoka Gaviota 5 evaluated against Kayano 30, and similar big stability beasts.@@DoctorsofRunning
@@q20a08 sigh… still waiting on a pair… really want to try Gaviota 5.
