FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS GT-2000 13 designed for?
It's designed for female runners who need extra support and guidance, particularly those who overpronate or prefer a stable and well-cushioned ride for daily training and long distances.
What is the 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™?
The 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ is a key technology integrated into the shoe that helps support your foot's natural movement and provides enhanced stability, guiding your foot forward efficiently to reduce unnecessary motion.
How does PureGEL™ technology benefit my run?
PureGEL™ technology is strategically placed within the shoe to improve overall softness and significantly boost shock absorption, reducing the impact on your joints and contributing to a more comfortable running experience.
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, with its enhanced cushioning from FF BLAST™ PLUS foam and supportive features like the 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™, the GT-2000 13 is very well-suited for both daily training and longer distance runs, offering comfort and stability over miles.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's recommended to measure your foot and refer to ASICS' specific sizing chart. Consider trying shoes on, preferably at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen, and ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I use these shoes for activities other than running?
While primarily designed and optimized for running, the GT-2000 13 can be used for general fitness activities. However, its specific support and cushioning features are best leveraged for the forward motion and demands of running.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Most running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 km) or every 4-6 months, depending on your mileage, body weight, running style, and how well you maintain them. The cushioning and support properties degrade over time.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure correct lacing technique and consider trying different sock types. Confirm your shoe size allows for a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the shoe's end. Gradually break in new shoes with shorter runs.
Lack of expected cushioning after some use
Cushioning materials naturally degrade over time with wear. Consider replacing running shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or every 4-6 months, depending on individual use, running style, and body weight.
Shoe feels too rigid or overly supportive
The GT-2000 13 is designed with significant guidance features. If you have a neutral gait, you might prefer a shoe with less stability. Ensure the shoe type matches your biomechanics and running needs.
Slippage or poor grip in wet conditions
While designed for road running, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Adjust your pace and stride, and regularly clean the outsoles to ensure the tread remains effective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required for the ASICS GT-2000 13 beyond lacing them up to your preferred tightness. Always ensure you choose the correct size for optimal comfort and performance; ASICS offers various UK adult foot sizes for women. It is recommended to try them on to ensure a proper fit.
Compatibility: These running shoes are primarily designed for female runners and are compatible with various running surfaces including roads, tracks, and light trails. They are best suited for runners who need stability and cushioning for daily training and long-distance running.
Care: To extend the life of your shoes, gently clean dirt and debris from the upper and sole after runs using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and structural integrity. Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, to preserve their shape and material properties. Store them in a cool, dry place.
