FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the GT-2000 series is well-regarded for providing the structure and stability that many runners with flat feet require.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Absolutely. These trainers are designed for high-mileage support and are frequently used for marathon preparation.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are these waterproof?
No, these are standard performance trainers and are not treated with waterproof materials; they are breathable, which means they will absorb moisture in heavy rain.
Can I remove the insole to use my own orthotics?
Yes, the provided sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area during initial use
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened at the midfoot and check that your socks are moisture-wicking and correctly positioned.
Accumulated dirt in the tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge pebbles or dried mud from the outsole patterns to maintain proper traction.
Heel slippage while running
Try the 'runner’s loop' lacing technique using the additional top eyelet to create a tighter lock around the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GT-2000 12 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines: 1. Initial Fitting: Use the lace-up system to achieve a snug but non-restrictive fit across the midfoot. 2. Break-in: If you are new to this series, take a few short walks or light jogs before committing to a long-distance run. 3. Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth after outdoor runs. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as these can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive. 4. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp or discolor.
