FAQs
What type of runner are the Asics GT 2000 13 for?
These shoes are designed for female runners who need stability and cushioning for everyday road running, particularly those with mild to moderate overpronation.
How often should I replace my Asics GT 2000 13 running shoes?
Most running shoes, including the GT 2000 13, typically last between 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 kilometers). Factors like your running style, weight, and terrain can influence this.
Can I use these shoes for walking or gym workouts?
Yes, while optimized for running, their comfort and stability make them suitable for walking and many gym-based activities. However, for specialized gym workouts, dedicated cross-training shoes might offer better flexibility or specific support.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's recommended to measure your foot and refer to ASICS' specific sizing chart. Many runners go up half to a full size from their regular street shoe size for running shoes to accommodate foot swelling during activity.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Asics GT 2000 13 features a breathable upper, which generally means they are not waterproof. They offer standard protection against light splashes but are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is 'stability' in a running shoe?
Stability in a running shoe refers to features designed to prevent excessive inward rolling of the foot (overpronation) during your stride. The GT 2000 13 includes elements that guide the foot through a more neutral motion.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Check your lacing technique; try looser lacing in certain areas. Allow for a break-in period. Consider different running socks.
Foot pain or discomfort during runs
Assess if the shoe's stability level is appropriate for your pronation. Ensure shoes are not worn out. Consult a professional for gait analysis if issues persist.
Shoes feel heavy or sluggish
The GT 2000 13 offers stability, which can add some weight compared to neutral shoes. This is generally expected. If it's a new issue, check for debris or moisture saturation.
Reduced cushioning or 'flat' feeling
Running shoes have a finite lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If you're approaching this mileage, it might be time for a replacement. Ensure shoes are properly dried after runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
First Use & Break-in
Your new Asics GT 2000 13 shoes may feel a bit stiff initially. It's recommended to wear them for shorter walks or runs for a few days to allow them to conform to your foot shape. This break-in period helps ensure optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility
These shoes are primarily designed for road running and are best suited for mild to moderate overpronators or runners seeking extra stability. They perform best on asphalt, concrete, and other paved surfaces. While they can be used for casual walking, their stability features are optimized for the dynamics of running.
Care & Maintenance
To extend the life and maintain the performance of your running shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove insoles after particularly sweaty runs to aid drying and prevent odors.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and recover its cushioning properties between runs.
