FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS GT-2000 13 designed for?
This shoe is designed for women runners who need extra support and stability, often referred to as 'overpronators' or those with mild to moderate pronation. It's also suitable for neutral runners who prefer a more structured and cushioned feel for daily training.
What does the '3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™' do?
The 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ is a technology that helps support the natural movement of your foot, providing enhanced stability and guiding it through a more efficient stride. It's not a rigid support but rather a dynamic system that works with your foot.
How often should I replace my ASICS GT-2000 13 running shoes?
Most running shoes, including the GT-2000 13, should be replaced every 300-500 miles or roughly every 4-6 months for regular runners. This can vary based on your running style, body weight, and the surfaces you run on. Pay attention to signs of wear, like reduced cushioning or worn-down outsoles.
Can I use these shoes for activities other than running?
While primarily designed for running, the GT-2000 13 offers excellent cushioning and support, making them comfortable for walking, gym workouts, or standing for long periods. However, for specialized activities, dedicated footwear might be more appropriate.
How do PureGEL™ technology and FF BLAST™ PLUS foam contribute to comfort?
PureGEL™ technology is strategically placed for softer landings and superior shock absorption, protecting your joints. FF BLAST™ PLUS foam is a lightweight, energetic cushioning material that provides a plush feel and a responsive bounce-back, working together for an exceptionally comfortable and smooth ride.
Are these shoes available in wide sizes?
Info needed: Product information provided only mentions standard sizes. It is common for ASICS to offer wide options for popular models. Please check specific product listings for availability of wide sizes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Check your size, ensuring there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Re-lace the shoes, trying different lacing techniques to alleviate pressure points. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks.
Experiencing foot pain or discomfort after runs.
While the GT-2000 13 offers support, persistent pain might indicate an improper fit, the need for a different shoe type (e.g., more or less stability), or underlying biomechanical issues. Consult a running specialist or medical professional. Ensure your shoes are not past their lifespan.
Slipping or reduced traction on wet surfaces.
The outsole is designed for various conditions, but extreme wetness can reduce grip. Check the tread for significant wear. Adjust your stride and pace on slick surfaces. If wear is excessive, consider replacing the shoes.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
Always air out your shoes after each run, removing insoles if possible. Avoid storing them in confined, damp spaces. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to absorb odors. Wash insoles periodically.
Heel slippage during runs.
Utilize the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'heel lock' lacing technique. This helps secure your foot more firmly in the heel counter. Ensure the shoe size is correct and not too large.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your ASICS GT-2000 13 shoes is straightforward.
- Lacing: Ensure the shoes are laced securely but not overly tight. Use the top eyelets for a more locked-in feel if you experience heel slippage.
- First Run: Take them for a short, easy run to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's cushioning and support features.
Compatibility
- Runners: Specifically designed for women runners seeking support and cushioning.
- Surfaces: Ideal for road running, track, and light trail use.
- Apparel: Compatible with standard running socks and athletic apparel.
- Orthotics: Generally compatible with custom orthotics or insoles, though the shoe's built-in support may be sufficient for many users.
Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your running shoes.
- Cleaning:
- Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials.
- Remove insoles and wash separately if needed.
- Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can warp materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Allow them to air out after each run to prevent odors.
- Maintenance: Check laces and eyelets periodically for wear. Replace worn laces as needed.
- Lifespan: Running shoes generally last between 300-500 miles (approximately 4-6 months of regular use), depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Observe the outsole wear and the feel of the cushioning for signs it's time for a replacement.
