FAQs
Who is the ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide designed for?
This trainer is designed for adult male runners, particularly those who require extra width in their footwear and benefit from stability and cushioning to help control overpronation.
What type of running are these shoes best suited for?
They are best suited for road running, daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. They also perform well on treadmills and for general fitness activities.
How should I clean my ASICS GT-2000 13 trainers?
Clean the exterior with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What does 'Wide' fit mean for this model?
The 'Wide' fit indicates that the shoe has a broader base and more volume in the forefoot and midfoot compared to the standard fit, accommodating individuals with wider feet.
How long do ASICS GT-2000 13 trainers typically last?
The lifespan of running shoes varies based on usage, but generally, they are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 km) to maintain optimal cushioning and support.
Can I wear these shoes for racing?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support for training, they are heavier than dedicated racing flats. They are suitable for longer races where comfort and support are prioritized over minimalist speed.
What is the heel type of this shoe?
The ASICS GT-2000 13 features a flat heel type.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure laces are tied correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. If the issue persists, consider if the 'Wide' fit is appropriate or if the shoe requires a short break-in period.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Running shoes typically lose cushioning after 300-500 miles. It may be time to consider replacing your trainers for optimal performance and injury prevention.
Shoes feel tight despite being wide
Verify the correct UK size has been selected. Different socks can also affect the fit; try with your usual running socks.
