FAQs
What kind of runner is the ASICS GT-2000 13 designed for?
The ASICS GT-2000 13 is best suited for female runners who need a balance of cushioning and stability. It's ideal for those with neutral pronation to mild or moderate overpronation, providing support to help guide the foot through a more efficient stride.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, with its combination of FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning and LITETRUSS™ technology, the GT-2000 13 offers the comfort and support needed for long-distance training and daily mileage.
How often should I replace my ASICS GT-2000 13 shoes?
Running shoes typically need to be replaced every 300-500 miles, or every 6-12 months, depending on your running frequency, intensity, and body weight. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as reduced cushioning, uneven outsole wear, or new aches and pains.
Can I use these shoes for activities other than running?
While optimized for running, their comfortable cushioning and stability make them suitable for walking, gym workouts, and general daily wear. However, for specialized cross-training or court sports, dedicated footwear might offer better performance and support.
Is the ASICS GT-2000 13 waterproof?
No, the ASICS GT-2000 13 is not water resistant. It's designed for use in dry conditions. For wet weather, consider shoes specifically designed with waterproof features.
How do I choose the correct size?
Running shoe sizing can sometimes differ from regular shoe sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot and refer to ASICS' specific sizing chart. Many runners go up half a size in running shoes compared to their street shoes to accommodate foot swelling during activity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, or consider different running socks. If the issue persists, ensure the sizing is appropriate for your foot's width.
Experiencing foot pain or discomfort after runs.
While these shoes offer stability, persistent pain might indicate an underlying issue. Consult a podiatrist or running specialist to check if the shoe's support level is appropriate for your specific needs, or if your running form needs adjustment. Ensure your shoes aren't worn out.
Outsole wear seems uneven or excessive in certain spots.
Uneven wear can be a sign of your running gait. While the AHARPLUS™ outsole is durable, specific wear patterns might indicate areas of high impact or friction. This often relates to your pronation style, which these shoes are designed to help with, but extreme cases might need further analysis by a running professional.
Shoes get smelly after use.
Always air out your shoes after each run. Remove the insoles occasionally to allow both the shoe interior and the insoles to dry completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to absorb odors. Ensure you wear moisture-wicking socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your ASICS GT-2000 13 running shoes is straightforward:
- Lace Up: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
- Achieve Snug Fit: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, secure fit around your midfoot, ensuring your heel doesn't slip.
- Knot Securely: Tie your laces securely but not overly tight to prevent pressure points. Consider a double knot for longer runs to prevent untying.
Compatibility
- Running Style: Ideal for runners with neutral pronation to mild or moderate overpronation who need stability and cushioning.
- Surface: Best suited for road running, track, and light, even trails.
- Activity: Perfect for daily training, long runs, recovery runs, and walking.
- Apparel: Wear with appropriate running socks to enhance comfort and prevent blisters.
Care
Proper care extends the life of your running shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water solution on a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat, as this can damage materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in a hot car.
- Rotate: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes. This allows the cushioning to fully decompress and recover between runs, prolonging the lifespan of each pair.
