FAQs
What type of running are these trainers best for?
The ASICS GT-1000 14 Trainers are best suited for road running, daily training, and medium to long-distance runs. They offer excellent cushioning and comfort for these activities.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, their advanced cushioning and lightweight design make them a suitable option for marathon running, providing comfort and support over extended distances.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the shoe comes with a removable insole that can be replaced with most standard orthotics or custom insoles. However, be aware that this may slightly alter the fit.
How often should I replace my GT-1000 14 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (approximately 500-800 kilometers), or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the ASICS GT-1000 14 Trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials to keep feet cool, which means they are not intended to repel water.
What is the main benefit of the cushioning technology?
The advanced cushioning technology in the GT-1000 14 aims to provide superior shock absorption, reducing the impact on your joints and enhancing overall comfort during your runs.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The GT-1000 series is known for providing a good balance of cushioning and support, suitable for neutral pronation. If you have specific arch support needs, consider consulting with a running specialist.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try lacing them more loosely or consider using a different lacing technique. If the tightness persists after a break-in period, they may not be the right fit.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. The breathable design should mitigate this, but excessive heat can still occur in very high temperatures.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Running shoes have a lifespan. If you have accumulated significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles), the cushioning may have compressed. Consider replacing the shoes.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road traction. While it offers good grip, performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and performance.
Compatibility: The ASICS GT-1000 14 Trainers are designed primarily for road running. They are compatible with various athletic socks. For those requiring orthotic support, they can accommodate most standard insoles, though custom orthotics may alter the shoe's fit and feel.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause the materials to warp or shrink.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent odor and mold.
