Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide trainers in Black are designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and supportive running shoe with a wider fit. Their key benefit is providing enhanced stability and cushioning for neutral to mild overpronation runners, helping to prevent discomfort during longer runs. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific lacing closure system, which requires proper adjustment for optimal security. These trainers feature a round toe, flat heel, and a secure lacing closure, making them a reliable choice for daily training.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

The ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide are designed for daily training and offer good cushioning and support for moderate distances. For marathon distances, runners might consider models specifically built for ultra-long-haul comfort and performance.

What does 'Wide' fit mean for these trainers?

'Wide' fit indicates that the shoes offer more volume and width in the forefoot and midfoot compared to a standard fit, providing extra comfort for individuals with broader feet.

How do I know if I need a wide fit shoe?

If you often find standard-width shoes feel tight across the ball of your foot, cause numbness, or leave red marks after running, you might benefit from a wide fit.

Can these trainers be used for gym workouts?

Yes, the ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide can be used for general gym workouts due to their stable base and cushioning. However, for very specific activities like heavy weightlifting, specialized shoes might be more appropriate.

What is the main difference between GT-2000 and other ASICS series?

The GT-2000 series typically focuses on providing a balance of stability and cushioning for mild overpronators, serving as a reliable daily trainer. Other series might focus more on neutral cushioning, speed, or trail running.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning and support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight despite being wide fit

Ensure the laces are not overtightened. Loosen them significantly and then re-lace, focusing on creating an even tension from the base upwards. Adjust the lacing pattern if necessary to better accommodate your foot shape.

Lack of cushioning or support after initial use

The cushioning may need a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter walks or runs initially. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your biomechanics.

Soles show excessive wear quickly

Check running surface and technique. Running primarily on abrasive surfaces or with improper gait can accelerate sole wear. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (running) and not for activities that cause excessive abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness using the provided closure system. Ensure the lacing is even on both sides for balanced support.

Compatibility: The ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide is designed for running and general athletic activities. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
