Product Information
Full details
The Asics GT-2000 15 is a high-performance trainer designed for adult male runners seeking a perfect balance of stability and comfort. By incorporating the plush FF BLAST MAX foam and an innovative 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM, these shoes provide a trampoline-like energy return that softens landings while ensuring dynamic, stable take-offs. While these trainers excel in delivering an ultra-soft feel, some runners may find the added foam height requires a brief adjustment period to get used to the increased stack feel compared to minimal footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM provides adaptive stability which is beneficial for those who require extra arch support during their gait cycle.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are primarily designed for road and paved surfaces. While they can handle light gravel paths, they lack the aggressive lugs needed for technical trail terrain.
How does the GT-2000 15 differ from the 14?
The 15 features 2mm more FF BLAST MAX foam and a refined 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM for a softer, more dynamic ride compared to the previous iteration.
Is the mesh upper water-resistant?
The technical woven mesh is designed for breathability and airflow, meaning it is not waterproof and will allow water to pass through during heavy rain.
How do I find my size if I've never worn Asics before?
Asics generally follows standard sizing. Use the UK size guide provided, but remember to account for about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to prevent toe jamming during long runs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel lift
Try the 'runner's knot' lacing technique to secure the heel more effectively within the collar.
Upper mesh collecting dust or debris
Use a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum on a low-suction setting to gently clear the mesh pores without damaging the fabric.
Reduced bounce or cushioning feel
Check the mileage; midsole foams can compress over time. If you exceed 400-500 miles, it may be time to rotate to a new pair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your GT-2000 15 trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short walks or light jogs for 3-5 days before committing to long runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every run. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge them in water or use a washing machine, as high heat and detergent can degrade the structural integrity of the foam.
- Drying: Air dry only. Remove the sock liner and place the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of the midsole compounds over time.
