Best Lightweight Option

ASICS GT-2000

A lighter, more versatile stability shoe for flat-footed runners who don't need the full support of the Kayano. Ideal for moderate overpronation and faster training paces.

$110-$130
Pros
  • Lighter and more responsive than the Kayano while still offering stability
  • Recommended for flat feet with moderate (not severe) overpronation
  • More versatile for varied training paces
  • Consistently mentioned alongside Kayano as a top flat-feet pick
Cons
  • Less arch support than the Kayano — not enough for heavy overpronators
  • Can feel squishy at faster paces per Wirecutter testing
  • Fewer width options than some competitors
Why we recommend it

The GT-2000 is the Kayano's more nimble sibling — if your flat feet are manageable and you want something you can actually pick up the pace in, this is the smarter buy.

Hands down Asics Kayano or the GT-2000. Kayano if you have heavy overpronation and GT-2000 if you can manage with a little less support.
