ASICS GT-2160 Trainers - Cream - Blue - UK 11

The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer cushioning and support for walking, they are not engineered for high-performance running and may lack the specific features required for optimal running biomechanics and injury prevention.

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The fit should be snug but not tight, with no pinching or excessive heel slippage when walking.

The GEL technology inserts in the midsole are designed to absorb shock effectively, providing enhanced cushioning and a more comfortable feel underfoot, especially during impact.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GEL cushioning system. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred cleaning method.

For casual wear, trainers typically last between 6-12 months, or around 300-500 miles if used for walking. Signs of wear like a flattened sole, reduced cushioning, or visible damage indicate it's time for a new pair.

A segmented midsole is constructed with distinct sections rather than a single solid piece. This design allows for more independent movement and flexibility in different parts of the shoe, contributing to both cushioning and a natural foot motion.

These trainers are not waterproof. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, which means it allows air to pass through but will not keep water out. They are best suited for dry conditions.

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check sock thickness and consider trying different pairs.

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris. If the outsole shows significant wear, it may be time for a replacement.

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
