Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


WE SAY: A titan in the stability category, this update of the 2110 lost an ounce of weight, thanks to its lighter midsole foam. It's also more stable because of a more rigid transition bridge, and a slightly wider base under the heel. But it's built on the same last (foot form), so runners can expect a similar fit. Because of its added support, we recommend the 2120 for heavier runners with normal arches, or lighter runners with low arches looking for plenty of stability.

For several years I wore orthotics to recover from plantar fasciitis. The 2120 has enough support that I can do long training runs (10 plus miles) without orthotics. This shoe is a great combination of comfort and support..

Worn GT- 2000-2100 series for a good number of years...the GT-2120 is the best, so far. The shoe last, stability, toe box, medial support, forefoot width, heel counter, and ride, re: my mechanics, are all excellent! Perhaps, could use a little more cushioning, but it has allowed me to run on sidewalks, which I could never do before. .
