FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the GT-2000 13 is specifically designed as a reliable daily trainer capable of handling the high mileage required for marathon prep.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the series is well-known for its supportive structure that assists in stabilizing the arch during the gait cycle.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the adhesives. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.
How often should I replace these running shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these true to size?
The Asics GT-2000 13 generally fits true to size, though many runners prefer a half-size up to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while running
Try the 'heel lock' lacing method using the extra eyelets at the top of the shoe collar.
Discomfort or pinching at the forefoot
Loosen the lower laces to allow more volume and ensure you are wearing the correct size and sock thickness.
Excessive moisture buildup
Remove the removable sockliner after workouts to allow it to dry separately from the main shoe body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics GT-2000 13 trainers, begin by ensuring the laces are tied with a secure runner's loop to lock the heel in place. These shoes are compatible with standard orthotics if you require custom arch support. For care, avoid machine washing or drying. Instead, remove the insoles after a wet run and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture naturally. Clean exterior mud using a soft brush and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
