I loved the gt 2000s, and bought two pairs of them that lasted a couple of years. Then I bought these, thinking they would simply be better versions of the same. NOPE! these shoes not only give my blisters, they've also been causing my feet to hurt a TON after running. I was so excited to have the same reliable shoes... But it looks like I need to find something other than ask a to wear, now that they don't make the normal 2000s in my size anymore :(
