Our Verdict
ASICS GT-2000 13
ASICS GEL-KAYANO 32
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 32 and the ASICS GT-2000 13 are both stability shoes, but they differ significantly in how they deliver support and cushioning. The GT-2000 13 is the lighter and lower-stacked of the two, making it feel more nimble but also firmer and less protective, especially on longer runs. Its 3D Guidance system provides mild to moderate stability through a flatter platform and structured midsole without the bulk of a full guidance wall. The KAYANO, on the other hand, uses a 4D Guidance system with more built-up sidewalls and torsional rigidity, offering more pronounced support and control, especially for heavier runners or those who overpronate significantly. It also rides softer and absorbs more shock thanks to its thicker midsole and higher stack, but feels heavier and less agile as a result.
