FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on running technology, the GT-2160 is marketed as a lifestyle sneaker. They are best suited for walking and casual daily use rather than competitive running.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The ASICS GT-2160 generally follows standard sizing conventions for adult unisex trainers.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh for ventilation and synthetic leather overlays for added durability and style.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the internal sockliner is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if necessary.
How should I clean the GEL inserts?
The GEL technology is housed within the midsole. Simply wipe the exterior of the midsole with a damp cloth; do not submerge the shoes in water.
Troubleshooting
Outer material shows scuffs
Use a specialized leather cleaning cloth or a soft eraser to gently buff out marks on the synthetic leather sections.
Footbed feels less supportive over time
Consider replacing the original sockliner with a high-quality aftermarket insole if you require additional arch support.
Difficulty cleaning mesh
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently agitate dirt from the mesh weave using a small amount of diluted gentle detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your GT-2160 trainers remain in top condition, avoid machine washing, which can damage the synthetic leather and compromise the adhesive bond of the sole. Instead, gently clean the mesh areas with a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water. For the leather overlays, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the GEL inserts.
