Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide 'Black' trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking comfort and support. The key benefit is enhanced stability and a comfortable ride for everyday training. A potential consideration is that these are a 'wide' fit, so standard width users may find them too roomy. These trainers feature a lacing closure and a round toe, offering a reliable option for upgrading your running shoe collection.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The GT-2000 13 Wide offers good cushioning and support for marathon distances, especially for neutral runners. However, individual needs and preferences for marathon shoes can vary.
What is the difference between GT-2000 and other ASICS series?
The GT-2000 series is typically designed for stability and support for neutral to mild overpronation, balancing cushioning with a smooth ride for everyday training.
How do I know if I need a wide-fit shoe?
If you experience pressure or discomfort on the sides of your feet, or if standard width shoes feel too constricting, you may benefit from a wide-fit option like the GT-2000 13 Wide.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While versatile, the GT-2000 13 Wide is primarily designed for running. For gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements or weightlifting, cross-training specific shoes might be more appropriate.
How long do ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide trainers typically last?
With regular use and proper care, the structural integrity and cushioning of the ASICS GT-2000 13 Wide trainers usually last between 300 to 500 miles.
Is the 'Black' colourway water-resistant?
The trainers are not designed to be water-resistant. They are breathable for running, so they will get wet in heavy rain or puddles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. If these are the 'Wide' model, consider a standard width if available, or loosen the lacing system.
Reduced cushioning over time
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Consider replacing your shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use.
Discomfort in the arch area
While designed for support, individual arch needs vary. Consider consulting with a running specialist or trying aftermarket insoles if discomfort persists.
