ASICS GT-2000 8 Women's Running Shoes (2A Width)

The ASICS GT-2000 8 Running shoes are ideal for those looking to run as efficiently as possible. Whether you're just starting out or you're a long-time GT-2000 fan, this is a shoe that won't let you down.

Engineered Mesh Upper

Engineered mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. The forefoot has been opened up to reduce irritation and allow for natural toe splay, and the shoe's seamless construction minimises the risk of rubbing and blisters; because we know how those can ruin your day. This updated model features a more spacious toe box thanks to the new last that the shoe is built upon, offering enhanced comfort and extra room when you need it most. In addition, these supportive running shoes have a new feature called the underlay support system which is comprised of a suede material throughout the upper to enhance stability and provide a supportive wrap around the foot. Suede is superbly robust and comfortable increasing the wraparound fit of the upper for a more conformed fit. When firing through the gait cycle extra help is at hand with a moulded internal heel counter; providing improved support and creates an enhanced heel fitting environment, reducing risks of potential injury to the foot and surrounding muscles and allowing a smooth transition from heel strike to toe off.

FlyteFoam Midsole

Embedded within the midsole, are the rearfoot and forefoot Gel cushioning systems. These systems help to attenuate shock at heel-strike and toe-off, sparing your joints as you land onto hard, unforgiving surfaces, and promoting a smooth transition through the gait cycle. ASICS play their ace card in lightweight cushioning: FlyteFoam. A layer of protection, bounce and comfort, it sits under the heel and midfoot to provide you with unmatched shock absorption and a lively ride. FlyteFoam is the next generation of ASICS' lightweight and responsive cushioning technology. The midsole formula features a reinforced, sustainable nanofibre compound which increases the foam's durability and provides more stability for runners, buffering against the ground to protect the wearer from unnecessary stress and fatigue. The reinforced fibres let the material bounce back to its original shape after every run; so you can train harder, more frequently, for longer, without the worry that your shoes might not be able to take it. ASICS contrast their cushioning with the Dynamic Duomax support system. Implemented on the medial side, it helps to control pronation; enhancing stability and support without sacrificing lightweight or comfort.

AHAR Outsole

An AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber) outsole completes the GT-2000 8, strategically placed in high-stress areas to supply excellent grip without compromising the shoe's permanence. I.G.S (Impact Guidance System) technology combines an interlinked set of technical features in the outsole to encourage more natural foot motion. The combination of a Trusstic System and Guidance Line work to increase stability and aid smoother landings. A reinforced middle part of the outsole prevents the shoe from twisting helping to keep the foot in place and aid smooth, natural landings. The vertical grooves of the guidance line run from heel to toe, with the centre of pressure concentrated on these groves stability is increased with enhanced control of motion.
