* {{H:flexibility}}. The GT 2000 has little flexibility, and I find it feels overly rigid. While the flexibility is similar to a [[Minimax]] shoe, in practice those shoes have massively cushioned midsoles that allow the foot to flex within the shoe as the midsole compresses. I find the GT 2000 feels far more like a clog than even the biggest Hoka shoes.
* {{H:outsole}}. There's a good layer of harder rubber outsole over all the contact areas on the GT 2000, which should help with its longevity.
* {{H:shape}}. Like most shoes, the Asics GT 2000 seems to have been designed by someone who has never see an human foot. Cutting open the toe box helps quite a bit. {{H:TryCuttingShoes}}
* {{H:upper}}. The upper is unpadded in the forefoot, where there are also a number of overlays and seams. The rear of the shoe has good soft padding, especially around the ankle opening which is deeply padded.
* {{H:tongue}}. The GT 2000 has a traditional tongue that is has a tab to attach it to the laces, and the tongue has lots of thick, soft padding.
