FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide provide sufficient cushioning and support for marathon distances, especially for runners who benefit from stability features and a wider fit.
What is the main difference between the GT-2000 13 and the GT-2000 13 Wide?
The primary difference is the width. The 'Wide' version is constructed on a wider last, offering more space in the forefoot and midfoot to accommodate individuals with broader feet.
How often should I replace my GT-2000 13 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.
Can I wear these trainers for gym workouts?
While the cushioning is comfortable, these trainers are optimized for road running. For gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements or heavy lifting, a shoe with a flatter, more stable base might be more appropriate.
Are these shoes good for people with flat feet?
The GT-2000 series is known for its stability features, which can be beneficial for individuals with flat feet who tend to overpronate. However, consulting with a running specialist or podiatrist is always recommended for personalized advice.
What color options are available for the GT-2000 13 Wide?
This specific model is the 'Black' colorway. Other colorways and standard width versions may be available for the GT-2000 13 series.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite being a wide fit.
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoe and then re-laced to your preferred comfort level. Consider trying a different width if persistent discomfort occurs, though this model is specifically designed for wider feet.
Reduced cushioning after several months of use.
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades over time and mileage. If you've run over 300-500 miles, it's time to consider replacing them. Regularly clean the shoes to maintain material integrity.
Slipping during runs.
Check that the laces are tied securely and that the shoes fit snugly. Ensure the outsole is clean from excessive mud or debris. For persistent slipping, check if the running surface is exceptionally slick and consider your footwear's appropriate use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tightness for optimal support and comfort.
Compatibility: The ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide are designed for road running. They are compatible with standard running socks. They are not designed for trail running or heavy hiking due to their tread pattern and construction.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the trainers 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 cause the materials to warp or shrink.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. This helps maintain the integrity of the cushioning and upper materials.
