Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-2000 13 trainers in 'Black White' are designed for adult male runners seeking improved stability and comfort. Their key benefit is enhanced support for mild to moderate overpronation, helping to reduce fatigue on longer runs. A potential caveat is that the fit may be snug for those with wider feet, so trying them on is recommended. This model features a secure lacing closure, a classic round toe, and a flat heel for a consistent feel.

FAQs
Are the ASICS GT-2000 13 suitable for neutral runners?
While the GT-2000 13 offers stability features beneficial for mild to moderate overpronators, neutral runners may find them slightly more structured than a neutral shoe. They can still be comfortable, but a dedicated neutral shoe might offer a different feel.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the ASICS sizing chart. Trying the shoes on, ideally at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger, is the best way to ensure a proper fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The harshness of the washing machine can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning with mild soap and water is preferred.
What is the expected lifespan of the GT-2000 13?
The lifespan of running shoes typically ranges from 300 to 500 miles (480 to 800 kilometers), depending on factors like running surface, intensity, and individual biomechanics. Regular inspection for wear and tear is advised.
Is this shoe good for trail running?
The ASICS GT-2000 13 is designed primarily for road running. Its outsole is optimized for pavement and similar hard, smooth surfaces. For trail running, a shoe with more aggressive traction and protection would be more suitable.
What does the 'Black White' colorway refer to?
This refers to the primary colors of the shoe. The main body of the trainer is black, with white accents used for branding and design elements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during wear.
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and re-tie them more comfortably. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider if a wider fit is needed.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The cushioning may naturally degrade after significant mileage. Refer to typical shoe lifespan guidelines (e.g., 300-500 miles) and consider replacement if performance diminishes.
Soles show excessive wear.
Check your running gait for any irregularities. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces. Significant wear may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their serviceable life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The ASICS GT-2000 13 is designed primarily for road running and is compatible with most athletic socks. It is not intended for use on highly technical trails or indoor track surfaces where specialized footwear may be required.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
