Full details
The ASICS GT-2000 14 GTX trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking reliable stability and performance in all weather conditions. Their key benefit is waterproof protection with GORE-TEX, keeping feet dry without overheating, ideal for running in wet conditions. A potential caveat is that while offering targeted support, the stability features might feel pronounced for neutral runners. These trainers combine proven stability technology to reduce overpronation with balanced cushioning for efficient energy return and comfort over long distances, all while ensuring durability and a firm grip on various surfaces.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the GT-2000 14 GTX provides balanced cushioning and stability, making it suitable for long distances like marathon training and racing, especially if you benefit from stability support and need waterproof protection.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure it's rinsed thoroughly and allowed to air dry completely. Do not use heat to dry.
What is the main difference between the GT-2000 14 GTX and a non-GTX version?
The GTX version includes a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane, making it ideal for wet conditions. The non-GTX version typically offers more breathability, making it better suited for dry, warm weather.
Will these shoes help if I don't overpronate?
While designed for overpronation, some neutral runners may find the stability features comfortable and beneficial, especially on longer runs or uneven terrain. However, it's recommended to try them on to assess if the support feels appropriate for your gait.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is constructed with robust materials designed for durability and traction on various surfaces. Regular use will naturally lead to wear over time, but it is built to withstand consistent running mileage.
Can I wear these shoes in hot weather?
The GORE-TEX membrane provides breathability, but it is fundamentally a waterproof barrier. While they can be worn in warm weather, they may feel warmer than a non-waterproof shoe designed solely for maximum ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp after running in the rain.
Ensure laces are tied correctly and the tongue is positioned to prevent water ingress. Check that the GORE-TEX membrane has not been compromised; refer to care instructions for cleaning any debris that might affect performance.
Shoe feels too tight or causes discomfort.
Verify you have the correct size and width. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. Laces can be positioned differently to alleviate pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider if the stability features are suited to your foot strike.
Traction is poor on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris. While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces like polished wet floors may still pose a challenge. The outsole’s effectiveness can diminish if worn down; check for signs of wear.
Gore-Tex is not breathable, causing feet to feel hot.
While GORE-TEX offers breathability, it is a waterproof membrane. In very hot conditions, this can be more noticeable. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Regular cleaning of the shoe can help maintain optimal breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure they fit comfortably and lace them appropriately for your run.
Compatibility:
- Ideal For: Runners who require stability and often run in wet or unpredictable weather conditions.
- Not Ideal For: Runners with a perfectly neutral gait who do not require pronation support or those primarily running in extremely hot and dry climates where maximum airflow is prioritized.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. This helps preserve the materials and GORE-TEX membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
