GT-2000^™ 12 Running Shoe (Men)

The shoes are a little on the bulkier-side, but very light despite that. Very comfortable and protective (at least up to half-marathon distances, which is the most I've done in this shoe, but I think they will hold up to marathon distance running). Upper is a little on the thicker side so feet can get hot when running in warmer weather. Grip in wet conditions is quite poor unfortunately (but I think this issue has been corrected in the GT-2k v13). Speed assistance is quite minimal in these shoes - you can run faster in these shoes but you will have to do the majority of the heavy lifting yourself as these shoes will not really help you in this regard. Build quality and durability is fantastic - I am positive this shoe will go to 400 miles quite easily. I didn't have any issues with the fitment of these shoes but obviously this will vary from person to person. Recommendation: If you're looking for a stability shoe for recovery runs and considering this shoe, my recommendation would be to buy the GT-2k 13. It seems to be much the same as this shoe, just better in practically every way and it seems to me that they've fixed the biggest issue of this shoe - the grip in wet conditions. Final note: Some info about me to hopefully provide a little more context: I've had this shoe for a few months now, and I've probably run about 80 miles in it. I'm a man in my late 20s, 5'9, 145 lbs. Not a competitive runner or anything, I just run for my health. I have pretty flat feet, which is why I was recommended and purchased these shoes. I'm not the fastest runner in the world, but I wouldn't say I'm a slow runner either. My general preference for a daily trainer is high stack (nice and protective as I run on concrete) but light and with good speed assistance technologies (as I definitely prefer running at "quicker" paces) but no carbon plate - I love carbon plates as much as anyone but I'm in the "Carbon Plates don't belong in Daily Trainers" camp.
