FAQs
Who are the ASICS GT-2000 13 shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for female runners who require stability to help manage mild to moderate overpronation, and who prioritize cushioning and comfort for daily training and long-distance runs.
What is the 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM?
The 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM is a stability feature engineered by ASICS that provides advanced support to guide your foot through a more natural and smoother stride, helping to reduce excessive inward rolling.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, ASICS has incorporated sustainable practices in the GT-2000 13. At least 50% of the main upper material uses recycled content, and the sockliner is produced with a solution dyeing process that significantly reduces water consumption and carbon emissions.
How does the PureGEL technology benefit my run?
Rearfoot PureGEL technology provides lightweight and soft cushioning, which helps absorb impact forces during landing, leading to a more comfortable feel and reduced stress on your joints.
Can I use these shoes for racing?
While durable and comfortable, the GT-2000 13 is primarily designed as a daily trainer. For racing, some runners might prefer lighter, more performance-oriented shoes, but these can certainly handle longer race distances if preferred.
How should I clean my GT-2000 13 shoes?
To clean your shoes, gently wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, and always air dry them away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks. While the jacquard mesh provides good breathability, hot weather or thick socks can sometimes contribute to warmth. Consider lighter socks for warmer conditions.
I'm experiencing discomfort or rubbing on certain areas of my foot.
First, check your lacing; it might be too tight or uneven. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Also, ensure your running socks are seamless and fit well. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct shoe size and width, as an ill-fitting shoe can cause rubbing.
The shoes don't feel as cushioned as they used to.
This is a common sign that your shoes may be nearing the end of their lifespan. Running shoe midsoles compress over time, losing their cushioning and supportive properties. Track your mileage; if you're approaching 300-500 miles, it might be time for a replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing to secure your foot without excessive tightness. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points.
- Sock Choice: Wear appropriate running socks to prevent blisters and optimize the shoe's fit.
- Break-In: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few short runs to fully break in the shoes and let them mold to your foot shape.
Compatibility
- Foot Type: These shoes are designed for female runners who require moderate stability to control pronation. They are suitable for mild to moderate overpronators.
- Running Surface: Best suited for road running, track, and paved paths. The outsole provides good traction on these surfaces.
- Activities: Ideal for daily training, long runs, and half-marathon to marathon distances where stability and cushioning are key.
Care
- Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and debris using a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents as this can damage materials.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can cause materials to shrink or degrade.
- Storage: Store your running shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp environments.
- Mileage: Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Monitor for signs of wear and tear, especially in the outsole and midsole cushioning, to know when it's time for a new pair.
