ASICS GT-2160 - Black - UK 9

ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system strategically placed in the midsole to absorb impact during movement. For the GT-2160, it provides superior shock absorption and cushioning, enhancing comfort for all-day wear and reducing stress on your joints.

While the GT-2160 draws inspiration from classic running silhouettes and features GEL cushioning, it is primarily designed for versatile casual wear and walking. For dedicated running, especially over longer distances or intense training, ASICS offers more specialized running shoes with specific support and stability features tailored for performance.

For general cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water to gently scrub the surface. Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water. Always air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.

The upper of the ASICS GT-2160 'Black/Creme' features a blend of breathable mesh and synthetic materials. This combination ensures durability, a snug fit, and good ventilation for comfort.

The ASICS GT-2160 is not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended as it can compromise the materials and internal comfort. For wet weather, consider waterproof footwear options.

ASICS generally offers consistent sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual UK shoe size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. If unsure, consult an ASICS sizing chart or try them on.

Ensure you have the correct size. Check your lacing – adjust it to be snug but not restrictive. Try different lacing techniques if pressure points occur.

Remove insoles after each wear to allow them to air out completely. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place cedar shoe trees inside when not in use. Ensure socks are breathable and clean.

Often, this is caused by the insole rubbing against the bottom of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath, and applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch to the sole beneath the insole before reinserting.

Address stains as quickly as possible. Use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the affected area in small circular motions. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and air dry.

While ASICS uses durable materials, excessive wear on specific areas might indicate an issue with your gait or usage. Ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended purpose (casual wear, walking) and not for activities that cause undue stress on the sole. If still new, contact customer support regarding manufacturing defects.
