FAQs
Who are the ASICS GT-2000 13 running shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for female runners who need moderate stability and cushioning. They are particularly well-suited for individuals with mild to moderate overpronation who desire a comfortable and supportive shoe for daily training and various running distances.
What is the key difference between the GT-2000 13 and previous models?
The GT-2000 13 incorporates the advanced 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™, PureGEL™ technology, and FF BLAST™ PLUS foam. These updates focus on enhancing stability, improving softness, and delivering a more comfortable and guided running experience, making it the most comfortable version to date.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the GT-2000 13 is very well-suited for long-distance running. Its combination of superior cushioning (PureGEL™ and FF BLAST™ PLUS foam) and supportive guidance (3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™) ensures sustained comfort and stability over extended mileage.
Do I need to 'break in' my new ASICS GT-2000 13 shoes?
While these shoes are designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period of a few short runs can help the shoe conform to your foot's unique shape. This is generally recommended for all new running shoes to prevent discomfort on longer runs.
How do I determine the correct size for these shoes?
Running shoes typically require a bit more room than casual shoes. It's recommended to have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. If possible, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and consider your usual running shoe size.
Can these shoes be used for activities other than running?
While designed specifically for running, the GT-2000 13 can be used for light walking or gym workouts that don't involve aggressive lateral movements. However, for optimal performance and foot health, dedicated cross-training shoes are recommended for varied athletic activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing during runs
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try adjusting your lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, or wear thinner running socks. Consider if a break-in period is needed, but persistent discomfort may indicate an incorrect fit.
Loss of cushioning or support over time
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with use. Track your mileage; most shoes need replacement between 300-500 miles. If shoes are new, ensure they are stored correctly and not exposed to extreme conditions.
Foot pain or discomfort after running
This could be due to various factors. First, ensure your shoe size is accurate. If you require significant stability, confirm this model meets your needs. Also, check your lacing. If pain persists, consult a healthcare professional or a running specialist to assess gait and fit.
Squeaking noise coming from the shoe
Check if the insole is properly seated within the shoe; sometimes, it can rub against the bottom. Ensure there's no moisture trapped inside. If the squeak persists, it might be a manufacturing characteristic that usually doesn't affect performance.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Superior cushioning through PureGEL™ and FF BLAST™ PLUS foam for long-lasting comfort
- Guides the foot naturally, promoting an efficient and smooth running stride
- Effective shock absorption reduces impact on joints, preventing discomfort
- Suitable for a wide range of running distances, from daily jogs to longer runs
Cons

- Supportive features might feel different for runners accustomed to neutral shoes
- Durability may vary depending on running frequency, mileage, and surface type
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for optimal fit and support. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slippage. A 'runner's knot' (heel lock) can secure the ankle area effectively.
- Socks: Wear performance running socks that wick moisture and prevent blisters. This enhances the shoe's comfort and prevents rubbing.
Compatibility:
- The GT-2000 13 is primarily designed for female runners seeking moderate stability and cushioning. It is an excellent choice for individuals who experience mild to moderate overpronation, where the foot rolls inward slightly too much during the gait cycle.
- It's versatile enough for various types of runs, including daily training, long distances, and recovery runs. It might be less suitable for speed work or racing if you prefer a very lightweight, minimalist feel.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean your shoes, remove the insoles and gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them in direct sunlight or use a dryer, as high heat can shrink or deform the materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp environments, which can degrade the materials over time.
- Longevity: Running shoes typically last between 300 to 500 miles (approximately 480 to 800 km), depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as diminished cushioning, reduced support, or visible outsole wear, as these indicate it's time for a replacement.
