FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While durable and comfortable, the ASICS GT-2000 14 GTX is specifically designed for running. For everyday casual wear, other footwear options might be more appropriate to preserve the running-specific features and technology of these shoes.
How do I know if the stability features are right for me?
These shoes are best suited for runners who overpronate (their foot rolls inward excessively). If you have a neutral gait or supinate (foot rolls outward), you might find the stability features too restrictive. It's recommended to have your gait analyzed by a professional.
Can I wear these shoes in very cold weather?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides excellent waterproofing and some insulation, making them suitable for cold, wet conditions. However, they are not insulated winter boots. For extremely cold temperatures, consider adding thermal socks or a more specialized winter running shoe.
How long do the GORE-TEX waterproof properties last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is designed for durability. With proper care, the waterproof and breathable properties should last for the lifespan of the shoe's intended use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive heat, which can degrade the membrane.
What is the difference between GT-2000 14 and GT-2000 14 GTX?
The 'GTX' designation indicates the inclusion of a GORE-TEX membrane, providing enhanced waterproofing and water resistance. The standard GT-2000 14 does not have this feature and is therefore more breathable but less protected against wet conditions.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. The harshness of a washing machine can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the shoes are properly laced and the GORE-TEX membrane is not compromised. Check for any potential leaks around seams. The feeling of dampness can sometimes occur due to sweat accumulation, especially during very high-intensity efforts; ensure proper sock choice.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Over time, cushioning can naturally degrade with use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended mileage for the shoes. Clean the shoes to remove any debris that might affect performance.
Traction feels less secure on wet surfaces
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear. Clean the outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be obstructing the tread pattern. For extremely slick conditions, consider slowing your pace.
Foot feels unsupported or unstable
Verify you have the correct size and fit. If you have specific pronation needs, ensure the shoe's stability features are aligning with your biomechanics. Consult a running specialist if issues persist.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid harsh detergents. If the inside is wet, stuff with newspaper and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Drying: Never use a tumble dryer or direct heat. Allow shoes to air dry thoroughly.
