Which should you pick?

head-to-head · opinion

The GT-1000 14 GTX and GT-1000 15 are both affordable stability daily trainers, so the real choice comes down to weather protection versus weight: the 14 GTX adds a waterproof upper for wet or cold running but weighs 310 g, while the standard 15 drops to 278 g and costs less at 115 USD. Pick the 14 GTX if you regularly run in rain or cold and want dry feet; choose the 15 for lighter, cooler everyday miles in dry conditions.
