FAQs
Who are the ASICS GT-2000 13 best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for female runners who require stability and support, particularly those with mild to moderate overpronation, and who prioritize cushioning for comfort during daily training and longer runs.
What is the 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™?
The 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ is a key technology that provides adaptive stability by intelligently guiding your foot's natural motion, helping to prevent excessive inward rolling and promoting a more efficient stride.
How does PureGEL™ technology contribute to comfort?
PureGEL™ technology is strategically placed to offer improved softness and enhanced shock absorption, effectively reducing the impact on your joints during landing and push-off.
Can I use these shoes for racing?
While the GT-2000 13 can be used for racing, they are primarily designed for daily training and long-distance comfort and support. For faster-paced races, some runners might prefer lighter, more minimalist racing flats.
How often should I replace my ASICS GT-2000 13 shoes?
The general recommendation for running shoes is to replace them every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 km), or every 6-9 months, depending on your running style, body weight, and terrain.
Are these shoes suitable for neutral runners?
The GT-2000 13 is specifically designed with support features for overpronators. While neutral runners can wear them, they might find the added stability features unnecessary or even feel slightly intrusive compared to shoes designed for a neutral gait.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is generally recommended to measure your foot and refer to the ASICS size chart. Many runners also find going up half a size from their regular shoe size beneficial for running shoes to accommodate foot swelling during activity.
What's the main difference between the GT-2000 13 and previous models?
The GT-2000 13 features an updated 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ for enhanced adaptive stability, and refinements to the PureGEL™ technology and FF BLAST™ PLUS foam for an even softer and more comfortable underfoot feel compared to previous iterations.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or I'm getting blisters.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Running shoes often need a slight break-in period. Wear appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. Re-evaluate your lacing technique to avoid pressure points.
The cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Running shoes typically last 300-500 miles. Track your mileage; if you're beyond this range, the cushioning may be worn out and it's time for a new pair. Ensure proper cleaning and drying after runs.
I feel like I'm losing support or stability.
Similar to cushioning, the support structures in running shoes can degrade with mileage. If you feel a noticeable decrease in stability, it's likely an indication that the shoes have reached the end of their functional lifespan for support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your GT-2000 13 shoes require no complex setup. Simply ensure they are properly laced for a secure and comfortable fit before each run. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what best suits your foot shape and provides optimal lockdown without pressure points.
Compatibility
These shoes are primarily designed for female runners seeking moderate to high stability and support. They are ideal for individuals with mild to moderate overpronation, where the foot rolls inward excessively during the gait cycle. If you are a neutral runner (your foot exhibits minimal inward roll), these shoes might provide more support than you need, potentially altering your natural gait.
Care
To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your ASICS GT-2000 13 running shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes naturally. Do not place them in direct sunlight or use a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can degrade materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your running shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and recover between runs.
