FAQs
Are these shoes good for flat feet?
The ASICS GT-2000 14 offers good support and is generally suitable for neutral runners. Runners with very flat feet experiencing significant overpronation might benefit from a stability shoe with more aggressive motion control.
How do I know if I need the GTX version?
The GTX version includes a Gore-Tex membrane, making it more water-resistant and suitable for running in wet conditions or cooler weather. If you primarily run in dry, warm climates, a standard version may offer better breathability.
What is the main difference between GT-2000 and other ASICS models like GEL-Nimbus?
The GT-2000 series focuses on providing a balance of cushioning and support for moderate overpronation or neutral runners. The GEL-Nimbus series typically offers maximum cushioning for neutral runners seeking a softer ride.
Can these trainers be used for walking?
Yes, the cushioning and support features make them comfortable for walking, although they are specifically designed and optimized for running.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With regular use for running (3-4 times a week), the cushioning and support typically start to degrade after 300-500 miles. This can vary based on running style, surface, and weight.
How should I clean mud off the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove dry mud. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and that laces are tied appropriately. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can degrade with significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on usage and impact.
GTX version feels warm
The Gore-Tex (GTX) membrane enhances water resistance but can reduce breathability. Consider a non-GTX version for very warm conditions.
