ASICS GT-2160 Trainers - White/Pink - Size UK 5

The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are designed with a heritage running aesthetic and incorporate cushioning technology. While they offer comfort and support for everyday wear and light jogging, they are primarily considered a lifestyle shoe and may not provide the specialized support or performance features required for competitive or high-mileage running.

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel snug but not tight, and the midfoot should feel comfortable without being constricted. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are typically larger, is recommended.

'Rose Water' refers to the specific shade of pink used for some of the synthetic leather overlays on the trainers, contributing to the shoe's distinctive colourway.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The aggressive cycle and detergents can damage the materials, especially the mesh, overlays, and GEL cushioning system. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

The GT-2160 draws inspiration from older running shoe designs for a lifestyle focus, emphasizing retro aesthetics and versatile comfort. Traditional ASICS running shoes are typically designed with advanced, sport-specific technologies focused on optimizing performance, stability, and cushioning for specific types of running activities.

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and traction, suitable for regular walking and everyday use. Its longevity will depend on the frequency of wear and the surfaces it encounters.

Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them evenly. Consider using thicker or thinner socks for minor adjustments.

Ensure the correct size is selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

While GEL technology is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing trainers after significant wear, typically 300-500 miles of running or prolonged daily use.

Clean regularly as per care instructions. For minor scuffs on overlays, a slightly damp cloth may suffice. Avoid abrasive cleaning agents.
