Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a supportive and cushioned experience, particularly those with wider feet. The key benefit is enhanced comfort and stability during runs, helping to reduce fatigue. A potential consideration is that the wide fit may not be suitable for runners with narrow feet. These trainers offer a blend of cushioning technologies and a stable platform to guide the foot through its natural gait cycle.

FAQs
Are the ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide suitable for beginners?
Yes, the GT-2000 13 Wide offers excellent support and cushioning, making it a great choice for beginner runners seeking comfort and stability.
How do I know if I need a 'Wide' fit shoe?
If standard-width shoes feel constricting, cause numbness, or lead to blisters on the sides of your feet, you likely benefit from a wide fit. The GT-2000 13 Wide provides extra volume in the forefoot and midfoot.
What is the main difference between GT-2000 and other ASICS series like GEL-Kayano?
The GT-2000 series is generally designed for mild overpronation and neutral runners, focusing on a balanced blend of cushioning and support. The GEL-Kayano series typically offers a higher level of stability and support for moderate to severe overpronators.
Can I use these trainers for gym workouts?
While they offer cushioning, the GT-2000 13 Wide are primarily designed for road running. For dedicated gym workouts involving lateral movements or heavy lifting, cross-training specific shoes might be more suitable.
How should I clean my GT-2000 13 Wide trainers?
Gently brush off loose dirt, then use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the exterior. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
The lifespan depends on usage, but typically running shoes like the GT-2000 13 offer optimal cushioning and support for 300-500 miles. Regular wear and tear, as well as running surface, can affect this.
Does the 'Wide' fit refer to the sole or the upper part of the shoe?
The 'Wide' designation primarily refers to increased volume and width in the shoe's upper, particularly in the forefoot and midfoot areas, providing more room for the foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite being wide fit
Ensure laces are fully loosened before putting on and then re-laced for a personalized fit. Check if the width truly matches your foot's needs; some runners may require a different model or size.
Reduced cushioning over time
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades. For optimal performance, consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of use, depending on terrain and individual weight.
Slipping during runs
Check the outsole for wear. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces for the shoe's design. Re-lace the shoes, focusing on a snug heel lock to prevent slippage.
Upper material showing wear
Avoid abrasive activities or surfaces that can scuff the material. Clean gently with a damp cloth as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tightness for a secure and comfortable fit before your first run.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male runners with a neutral or mild overpronation gait. The wide fit is suitable for individuals who require extra width in their footwear.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to wipe down the exterior. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
