FAQs
Are the ASICS GT-2160 suitable for running?
The GT-2160 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and offer comfort for daily activities. They are not specialized running shoes and may not provide the necessary support or cushioning for high-impact running.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper features a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic overlays for support and comfort.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or refer to the brand's specific sizing chart.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesive, and cushioning technology. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the main design inspiration for the GT-2160?
The GT-2160 draws inspiration from the technical design language of the ASICS GT-2000 series from the early 2010s, incorporating key features like its aesthetic and wavy forefoot sculpting.
Do they offer good grip?
Yes, they are equipped with a durable rubber outsole designed to provide reliable traction on various surfaces suitable for everyday wear.
What is the benefit of the GEL™ Technology?
The GEL™ technology inserts in the midsole provide enhanced cushioning by absorbing shock during impact, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit on arrival
Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. If the noise persists, it might be internal and may subside with continued wear.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh cleaning agents. Clean promptly if exposed to staining agents and follow care instructions.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL™ technology is designed for long-term cushioning. If significant reduction is felt, ensure the shoes have not been subjected to excessive stress or improper cleaning methods. Consider replacing the insoles if needed.

Care Instructions:
