FAQs
What is the main benefit of the DuoMax Support System?
The DuoMax Support System provides enhanced stability and helps to control pronation, offering a more efficient and supported gait cycle.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The ASICS GT-2160 DIME Arctic Wolf features a high-abrasion rubber outsole suitable for light trails. For technical or very rugged trails, specialized trail running shoes are recommended.
How do the reflective accents help?
The reflective accents are designed to catch and reflect light, significantly increasing your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or night running.
What is the significance of the DIME collaboration?
The collaboration with DIME, a Canadian skateboarding brand, brings a unique aesthetic and design influence to the classic ASICS GT-2160 silhouette, featuring distinctive branding like the embossed DIME logo on the heel.
How do I clean the ombre gray coloration?
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could affect the coloration or reflective accents. Always air dry.
What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?
With regular use and proper care, running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles. For the GT-2160 DIME Arctic Wolf, regular cleaning and avoiding excessive wear on the outsole will help maximize their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
The high-abrasion rubber outsole provides good grip, but extreme wet conditions may reduce effectiveness. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris.
Discomfort during long runs
Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. If discomfort persists, consider your running form or if a different type of support shoe might be more suitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These running shoes require no setup out of the box; they are ready for immediate use. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. To maintain their condition and performance:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh detergents. For interior cleaning, use a mild soap and water, then air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally. Do not use a clothes dryer or direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
