Read on as Tracy-Lee's answers a few questions:
What’s changed with this shoe?
The GT-2000 8 is a slight upgrade of the GT-2000 7, specifically on the sole. It’s slightly curved in the forefoot, which makes for a smoother ride from foot impact to toe-off. The shoe is specifically designed for your stride.
The legendary stability technology of the shoe gives you all the support you need, guiding the foot from heel strike to toe-off as efficiently as possible.
Read more about the science behind that, here.
What technology does the shoe sport?
If you take a closer look at the shoe, the upper part contains multi-directional engineered mesh that adjusts to the shape of the foot for a perfect fit.
The outsole has a support under the arch of the shoe that provides the stability and reduces weight - the piece works with the guidance line technology. More on that here.
The midsole sports the dynamic duo max technology which reduces stress on the foot caused by over-pronation (when the heel rolls inward) and supports the foot for a comfier running experience.
So, how would I sum up the shoe?
In three words: LIGHTWEIGHT, SMOOTH and STABLE
