FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they utilize classic technical design, they are primarily marketed as lifestyle trainers; they are best suited for walking and daily activities rather than long-distance running.
How do I determine my size?
These follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you typically wear in other Asics lifestyle models.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the materials used in the GT-2160 are breathable and not designed to be waterproof. They should be avoided in heavy rain.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you require custom orthotics.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the GT-2160 is designed as a unisex model, fitting a wide range of foot shapes.
How long will the GEL cushioning last?
The longevity of the cushioning depends on usage frequency and surface conditions, but generally, the structure remains supportive for the standard lifespan of a daily trainer.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the forefoot
This is common with synthetic overlays; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain shape.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or an alternative lacing technique, as standard flat laces can slip if not tightened properly.
Dirt buildup in midsole grooves
Use an old soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clear debris out of the segmented midsole channels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK adult size. If you plan to wear thicker socks for colder weather, consider whether your usual size allows for extra internal volume. To maintain the condition of your Asics GT-2160 trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud from the upper mesh and midsole.
- Stain Removal: Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the synthetic overlays.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or adhesive damage.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the colors.
