FAQs
What type of runner is the GT-2000 13 best suited for?
The GT-2000 13 is ideal for adult male runners who need a balance of cushioning and support, particularly those who overpronate. It's well-suited for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs.
How does the cushioning compare to previous GT-2000 models?
The GT-2000 13 features improved impact absorption for a softer sensation. While generally more cushioned, some users might notice a slight difference in the overall feel compared to older versions.
Can I use these shoes for racing?
While they offer good cushioning, the GT-2000 13 is primarily designed as a daily trainer. For faster race-day performance, ASICS offers more specialized racing models. However, they can be used for shorter races if maximum cushioning is prioritized.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the ASICS GT-2000 13 are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable mesh uppers for ventilation during runs and are not intended for use in wet conditions beyond typical rain.
How often should I replace my GT-2000 13 shoes?
Running shoes typically need replacement every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers), or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a decrease in cushioning and support.
What is the difference between the GT-2000 and other ASICS stability shoes like the Kayano?
The GT-2000 generally offers a slightly less intrusive level of stability and cushioning compared to the Kayano, which is often positioned as a premium stability shoe with more advanced support features. The GT-2000 is a great option for mild to moderate overpronation.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing different types of socks. Lace the shoes differently to adjust the fit around the midfoot and ankle. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right model for your foot type.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically between 300-500 miles. If the cushioning feels diminished, it may be time to replace the shoes. Proper care and avoiding excessive heat during drying can help prolong the cushioning's effectiveness.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the GT-2000 13 is designed for road running, traction on extremely wet surfaces can be limited. Exercise caution on wet pavement. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris that could affect grip.

Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade the cushioning and structural integrity.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
