GT-2000™ 14: Everything You Need to Know
August 1, 2025
Since it first launched in 2012, the GT-2000™ series has continued to strike a balance between stability and responsiveness. Sitting alongside bestsellers like the GEL-KAYANO® shoe, it’s a staple among runners who want a daily trainer that’s light and nimble with plenty of support. Let’s explore what’s new in the GT-2000™ 14 shoe and how it compares to other stability shoes in our lineup.
Why choose a stability shoe?
Some runners experience overpronation when they run, meaning they land on the outside of their heel and roll inward with each step. If you overpronate, stability shoes help guide your stride forward and resist movements that could cause injury. The new GT-2000™ 14 shoe features our 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™, designed to provide on-demand stability when you need it most. This means that even if you overpronate, you can lace up and hit the ground running with confidence.

A step toward better foot health
The GT-2000™ 14 shoe joins our collection of running shoes with the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance. This means it was carefully evaluated by a committee of podiatrists — doctors who specialize in treating the foot, ankle, and structures of the leg — to ensure that it promotes good foot health.

Comparison: GT-2000™ 13 and GT-1000™ 13
Both styles in our “GT” family provide adaptive stability, soft landings, breathable mesh uppers. The differences are in the details; for example, while the GT-1000™ 14 shoe features FF BLAST™ PLUS for impact absorption, the GT-2000™ 13 raises the bar with full-length FF BLAST™ MAX: one of our lightest, most energetic foams. When it comes to mileage, the GT-2000™ 14 shoe is built to take on various distances, while the GT-1000™ shoe is better suited for shorter runs, gym workouts, or as a daily walking shoe.
