The GT-2000 9 has been the over-pronators stability shoe of choice for a variety of runners for many years. Pronation is where the foot lands to the outside of the heel, then rolls inwards excessively transferring the weight to the inner edge of the foot. This means that you will feel pressure predominantly on the big toe and second toe, rather than evenly across the ball of the foot during the ‘push off’ phase of your running cycle. If this movement is not rectified then shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions and heel spurs could all be potential injuries.
How does the GT-2000 9 help to avoid this? In the arch area of the midsole the GT-2000 9 incorporates DYNAMIC DUOMAX™ technology. This more dense foam helps to support the foot and increase stability. It also has TRUSSTIC™ technology under the arch of the shoe, this thermoplastic piece provides stability, reduces weight and helps extend the life of the shoe.
In terms of cushioning, the GT-2000 9 is packed with technologies to improve your performance and deliver a cushioned, responsive ride. The GEL™ technology cushioning positioned in the heel and forefoot of the midsole, helps promote lightweight comfort and reduces the overall shock from heel impact and forefoot transition, by further reducing the load on the feet. The FLYTEFOAM™ Propel technology in the midsole delivers a more energetic, responsive ride at ‘toe off’.
The lightweight AHAR™ outsole reduces the overall level of wear, allowing you to spend more time focusing on your running.
Research shows that around 4 in 5 runners risk injury in shoes that don’t suit their running style.If you're looking for a lightweight and cushioned running shoe to help support your foot, the GT-2000™ 9 model is an excellent choice.
