FAQs
Are the ASICS GT-2160 trainers good for running?
The GT-2160 are inspired by running shoes and offer good cushioning for casual wear and light jogging. For intense training or marathon running, dedicated performance running shoes from ASICS might be more suitable.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart. Ensure there's about a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The lacing can be adjusted for a snug fit.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What is the main benefit of the GEL inserts?
The GEL inserts are strategically placed in the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for wet weather?
The open-hole mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. While the rubber outsole offers traction, these trainers are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions, not heavy rain.
What does 'retro running energy' mean in the description?
This refers to the design inspiration. The GT-2160 incorporates design elements and a style reminiscent of ASICS running shoes from the early 2000s, updated with modern comfort technology.
Can I wear these with different colored socks?
Yes, the black and brown colorway is versatile. While darker socks are common, lighter or colored socks can be worn, though they might be more visible through the mesh depending on the design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing system to provide a more secure or relaxed fit. If the issue persists, consult the sizing chart and consider if a different size is needed.
Traction feels reduced.
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be obstructing the tread pattern. Ensure the shoes are dry before use on slippery surfaces.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure you have the correct size and that the laces are adjusted properly. Consider the type of activity; these trainers are best for casual wear and light exercise, not high-impact sports.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Gently clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For tougher spots, use a very mild soap solution and rinse carefully with a clean damp cloth.
