The i-Run team says
The Asics GT-1000 12 shoe for men offers a new modern style for your running sessions. Even more comfortable, it supports both neutral and overpronating strides.
GT-1000 12, for which athlete, what use, what distance and surface?
Suitable for all practitioners, the new GT-1000 12 is ideal for both beginners and experienced runners.
Focused on support, it helps to moderately balance the phenomenon of overpronation during your efforts. It is therefore also recommended for neutral runners seeking support.
You can benefit from it during your training and your regular outings on roads and marked paths. Versatile, it can also accompany you to the gym and on the treadmill.
As for distance, it supports you on short and medium circuits (from 5 kilometers to 20/30 kilometers).
GT-1000 12, what usage?
+ The Asics GT-1000 12 is a comfortable model for everyday use. It guarantees optimal stability and effective shock absorption. If you need particular support and want to start running, this is an ideal model.
- Its close-fitting design may not suit all foot shapes. For a more generous width and greater dynamism, we recommend the Asics Gel-Kayano shoe.
Why choose the GT-1000 12?
This new version offers several advantages:
- Optimized shock absorption thanks to the presence of gel at the rear of the foot.
- Comfortable support that allows you to move without discomfort.
