| Pros | Stable, cushioned FF Blast Plus with energy return · Moderate, non-intrusive 3D Guidance support · Wide, stable platform · Thick, durable outsole · Excellent value at ₹5,000–6,500 | Softer and more responsive than the GT-2000 13 · Support no longer harsh under the arch · 8 mm drop · Soft, breathable upper · Up to 1,000 km of durability |
| Cons | Snug, narrow forefoot, size up half · Below-average traction on wet surfaces · Not for speed sessions · Not enough for heavy runners or severe overpronators | Not for very high arches · Not a fast shoe · Lighter runners only (under ~85 kg) |
| Avoid if | You weigh over 85 kg or overpronate heavily; the Kayano 31 is the better choice. | You have very high arches (pick a soft max-cushion neutral shoe such as the New Balance More v6 or 1080v14), you weigh over about 85 kg (pick the Kayano), or you want a fast shoe. |
My verdicts
ASICS
GT-2000 13
For me the GT-2000 13 is the best lightweight moderate-stability shoe on the market and one of the best shoes under ₹6,000. Beginners and flat-footed runners under 85 kg can buy it with their eyes closed, as long as they size up for the snug forefoot.
Avoid if: You weigh over 85 kg or overpronate heavily; the Kayano 31 is the better choice.

GT-2000 14
My favourite GT-2000 of the five-plus I have tested: stable without being harsh, comfortable from walking to a full marathon, and an easy buy on sale.
Avoid if: You have very high arches (pick a soft max-cushion neutral shoe such as the New Balance More v6 or 1080v14), you weigh over about 85 kg (pick the Kayano), or you want a fast shoe.
