head-to-head · opinion

The ASICS GT-2000 14 and GT-2000 14 GTX are the same supportive daily trainer with identical 29/21 mm stack and 8 mm drop; the only real trade-off is weather protection versus weight. Pick the standard GT-2000 14 (275 g, 140 USD) if you run in warm, dry conditions and want the lighter shoe, and choose the GTX (300 g, 160 USD) only if wet-weather dry feet outweigh the added 25 g and cost.
