Confluence Running
The GT-2000 14 is a guided everyday road trainer and the earlier generation to the GT-2000 15. It is worth comparing when you prefer a less updated, familiar support feel or when the available clearance size suits you. It is aimed at regular running, steady training and walking rather than trail racing.
Compare the 14 and 15 side by side. The softer newer model will not be everyone's favorite, especially if you value a familiar ride.
Fit before category
Fit begins with the correct width and comfortable forefoot shape. Check how the stability platform feels while walking and running and make sure your heel stays secure. A previous model can still fit better than the latest release. Choose by actual comfort, not only the version number or a sale price.
We fit shoes against your foot shape, width, comfort, movement and intended use—not just a label like “neutral” or “stability.”
How the shoe works

Use the shoe somewhere real
Instead of stopping at “road” or “trail,” these are real local places that make this shoe's use case easier to understand.
