About the shoe
The ASICS GT 1000 13 is a versatile stability trainer that balances comfort, support, and durability at an accessible price point. Its non-intrusive stability system and plush cushioning make it a dependable choice for daily miles, though runners seeking a lively, energetic ride may find it lacking in responsiveness. Ideal for those who prioritize support and value over speed.
The shoe uses AHAR rubber on the outsole, known for its long-lasting properties, and the engineered mesh upper is reported as more durable than previous versions. Both lab tests and user feedback indicate above-average durability for the price point, with minimal wear reported after extended use.

The Asics GT 1000 13 is widely regarded as a reliable, budget-friendly stability shoe best suited for daily training and recovery runs. Its FlyteFoam midsole and PureGEL technology provide soft landings and moderate cushioning, making it comfortable for everyday miles and easy efforts. The 3D Guidance System offers adaptive stability, supporting mild to moderate overpronators, but the shoe is not overly intrusive for neutral runners. However, the shoe lacks energy return and responsiveness, limiting its effectiveness for tempo runs and racing, where a snappier ride is preferred. For long runs, the cushioning is adequate but not plush or energetic enough for most runners to recommend it as a primary marathon shoe. The outsole performs well on dry pavement but has subpar traction on wet surfaces and is not designed for trails, making it a poor choice for off-road use. User and expert feedback consistently highlight comfort for easy and moderate paces, but note drawbacks such as a bulky heel collar and less-than-ideal lacing system.
- Reliable stability features provide gentle support for mild to moderate overpronators without feeling intrusive, making it suitable for daily training and long walks
- PureGEL cushioning in the heel and FlyteFoam midsole deliver soft landings and balanced comfort, reducing joint fatigue on longer runs
- Durable AHAR outsole withstands high mileage and daily wear, offering strong value for budget-conscious runners
- Energy return is limited, resulting in a less responsive toe-off compared to more premium or performance-oriented trainers
- Short laces and excess padding in the heel collar can cause fit issues and discomfort for some runners, especially those with higher insteps or sensitive heels
Best for and fit
Daily training
Ideal for Best suited for beginner to intermediate runners or walkers who need moderate stability for mild overpronation, prefer a cushioned yet supportive shoe for daily training, and value durability and comfort over maximum energy return or race-day speed.
Short laces can cause tightness at the top of the lacing system. Excess cushioning in the tongue and heel collar may be uncomfortable for some. The shoe is designed for overpronators and provides APMA-accepted arch support. The upper is breathable and durable, but the overall fit is best described as accommodating rather than precision-locked.
Sizing: Fits true to size for most runners; available in multiple widths in some markets. No need to size up or down for the majority of users, but the shoe is slightly roomier than average in width.
