Troubleshooting
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, always exercise caution on wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
Sizing feels slightly off.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size based on your foot measurement. Different models can have slight variations in fit. Consider using the manufacturer's sizing chart for reference.
Discoloration on the upper material.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your GT-2160 trainers:
