FAQs
What is the recommended lifespan for these running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, or approximately every 4-6 months for regular runners. This can vary based on your running style, weight, and terrain.
Are these shoes suitable for overpronators?
Yes, the ASICS GT-2000 13 is designed with the 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM, which provides advanced stability to help manage overpronation and promote a smoother stride.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot and refer to ASICS' size chart. Many runners go up half a size from their regular street shoes for running shoes. Try them on in the afternoon when your feet are slightly swollen, and ensure there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the shoe's end.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials and adhesives. Always hand wash with mild soap and air dry.
What does the 'PureGEL Technology' do?
PureGEL Technology, specifically in the rearfoot, helps to provide lightweight cushioning and absorbs impact, resulting in softer and more comfortable landings during your run.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, ASICS has incorporated sustainable practices in the GT-2000 13. At least 50% of the main upper material is made with recycled content, and the sockliner is produced with a solution dyeing process that reduces water usage and carbon emissions.
Troubleshooting
Experiencing foot discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Check your lacing for proper tension; it should be snug but not tight. Ensure your socks are appropriate for running and consider trying different thickness or materials. Verify shoe size and width to ensure it matches your foot shape. Allow for a short break-in period.
Shoes feel less supportive or cushioned over time.
Running shoes have a lifespan typically between 300-500 miles. Track your mileage and consider if it's time for a replacement. Storing them properly and allowing them to fully dry between uses can also help maintain their integrity.
Noticing unusual wear patterns on the sole.
While the GT-2000 13 offers stability, consistent unusual wear can indicate specific biomechanical factors. Consider consulting a running specialist for a gait analysis to ensure you are in the most appropriate shoe type for your stride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing techniques to secure your foot without excessive tightness. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points or heel slip.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. While generally comfortable out of the box, a slight break-in can optimize feel.
Compatibility
- Running Surface: Primarily designed for road running, pavement, and light track use. The outsole provides optimal grip and durability on these surfaces.
- Foot Type: Best suited for runners who need moderate stability to manage overpronation, or those who prefer a more guided feel in their stride.
- Sock Choice: Pair with performance running socks to enhance comfort, wick moisture, and prevent blisters.
Care
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a soft brush or cloth, warm water, and a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives. For mud or dirt, let it dry first and then brush off.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
- Rotation: Consider rotating your running shoes with another pair to allow the cushioning to fully decompress and extend the lifespan of both pairs.
