Theyre both stability shoes, with the Kayano a bit more expensive and more plush/cushioned (which not everyone wants or needs). If you prefer the Kayano get that one! I went with the GT-2000 since I like a little bounce and responsiveness. I do think the kaya is woukd be better for overall and daily walking shoes.TheGel Kayano is ASICS' flagship everyday stability running shoe. The Gel Kayano features the largest Gel units of any ASICS stability shoe - a great benefit for larger runners. ASICS GT 2000 12 Lite-Show. Men's Shoes - Black/Silver. Sale -25% ASICS GT 2000 12.

AsicsKayano vs. Nimbus; Midsole. Asics included FlyteFoam Blast which is the same midsole compound featured on the Novablast 1 and 2. Asics GT 2000 & 1000 (Affiliate) This is a completely new shoe. Asics have taken the GT-2000, deleted everything, and started from the bottom. But it still has all the identity of the GT-2000.
Aftercomparing the Asics Gel Nimbus and the Gel Kayano, I remembered runners would constantly ask about the difference between the GT 1000 and the GT 2000. However, the price point and the cushioning are the general difference between the Asics GT 2000 vs 1000 every year.
TheGT-2000 has a bit more room in the forefoot and toebox. ASICS Novablast 2 (RTR Review) Renee: The Novablast 2 is a bouncier shoe with a gentle roll forward from the midfoot. The Novablast 2 offers more cushion underfoot for longer runs. For stability, the GT-2000 is the winner and it also has more rubber on the outsole.
