FAQs
What kind of runner is the GT-2000 13 designed for?
The GT-2000 13 is designed for women runners seeking a supportive and cushioned shoe. It's ideal for those who benefit from extra guidance and stability during their runs, often associated with mild to moderate overpronation, or simply a preference for a stable platform.
How does the 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ work?
The 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ is a technology integrated into the shoe's design that helps support the placement of your foot. It gently guides your foot through its natural motion cycle, providing enhanced stability and reducing excessive inward rolling (pronation) during your run.
Can I use these shoes for activities other than running?
While optimized for running, the GT-2000 13 can certainly be used for walking, gym workouts, or casual wear due to its comfort and supportive features. However, for specialized sports, dedicated footwear is usually recommended.
How often should I replace my GT-2000 13 running shoes?
The typical lifespan for running shoes is between 300-500 miles, or approximately 4-6 months if you run regularly. Pay attention to signs of wear such as reduced cushioning, worn outsole tread, or new aches and pains, which indicate it's time for a new pair.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, with their substantial cushioning from `FF BLAST™ PLUS` foam and supportive `PureGEL™` technology, the GT-2000 13 provides the comfort and stability needed for long-distance training and races.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's generally recommended to measure your foot and refer to the ASICS size chart. Many runners go up half a size in running shoes compared to their casual shoes to allow for foot swelling during activity. Try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose during a run.
Adjust your lacing technique. Try different lacing patterns, such as skip-lacing for pressure points or a runner's loop for heel slippage. Ensure socks are appropriate thickness.
Experiencing discomfort or rubbing in specific areas.
Check your sock choice; seamless, moisture-wicking running socks can prevent irritation. Break in new shoes gradually with shorter runs. If discomfort persists, consult a running specialist for a gait analysis.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If you've reached this mileage, the cushioning may be compressed. Consider replacing your shoes for optimal performance and injury prevention.

Compatibility

They are compatible with various foot types, particularly those that benefit from guided support to help manage overpronation or simply desire a stable platform. They pair well with standard running socks and athletic apparel.
Care
- Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and debris using a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and shoes to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
