Asics GT-2000 - White - UK 10.5

While the GT-2000 series has a heritage in running shoes, this particular rendition (GT-2160) is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker. It offers comfort and support for casual wear and light activities, but it's not optimized for high-performance running or intense sports training.

GEL™ Technology is a proprietary ASICS cushioning system that uses gel-like material strategically placed in the midsole. It's designed to absorb shock during impact, providing improved comfort and protection for your feet.

ASICS generally runs true to size. We recommend trying on the sneakers if possible. If purchasing online, refer to the ASICS size chart and consider measuring your foot length. Keep in mind that personal fit preference can vary.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.

For optimal comfort and breathability, we recommend wearing athletic or casual socks made from moisture-wicking materials like cotton blends or synthetic fabrics. Avoid overly thick socks that might make the shoe feel too tight.

The rubber outsole provides good everyday traction on typical urban surfaces. However, they are not specifically designed or certified as slip-resistant footwear for professional or hazardous environments.

This can sometimes occur with new outsoles or insoles due to friction. Try wiping the rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove any residue. If the sound persists, you can try applying a very small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction between the insole and the shoe's base.

Like many shoes with structured materials (leather overlays, segmented midsoles), a brief break-in period may be necessary. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The materials will soften and conform to your foot over time.

For light scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth to gently rub the affected area. For deeper marks, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner designed for footwear can be used, following the product's instructions. Regular cleaning helps prevent buildup and makes minor marks easier to remove.
