Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for daily wear. Their key benefit lies in the combination of airy mesh uppers, cushioned GEL inserts, and a durable rubber sole, offering a comfortable and reliable option for everyday activities. A potential caveat is that the design, while retro-inspired, might not suit those looking for highly minimalist or performance-specific athletic footwear.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and daily comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not optimized for high-performance running and may lack the specific support features required for intense running activities.
How do I find the right size?
These trainers are available in UK adult women's sizes. Refer to the product's size guide or compare with your usual shoe size. The specific pair mentioned is a UK 5.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, especially the mesh and GEL inserts, can be damaged by the harsh cycle and heat. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred cleaning method.
What is the main benefit of the GEL inserts?
The GEL inserts in the midsole are designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear. This contributes significantly to the overall comfort, especially during extended periods of walking or standing.
What does 'noughties style' refer to?
'Noughties style' refers to the fashion trends prevalent in the 2000s. For these trainers, it means a design aesthetic inspired by running shoes from that era, often characterized by layered materials, visible cushioning technology, and a dynamic silhouette.
Are there other colour options available?
This specific product variant is described as White/Grey. ASICS often releases similar models in various colourways, but availability may differ.
What is the sole made of?
The sole of the ASICS GT-2160 trainers is made of rubber, which provides durability and reliable traction for daily use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear with thin socks and break them in gradually with short walks. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is persistent.
Discomfort in the arch area
The GEL inserts provide cushioning, but arch support can vary. Consider using aftermarket insoles or orthotics designed for added arch support if needed.
Traction feels reduced
Check the rubber sole for embedded debris like mud or stones. Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth. If the tread appears significantly worn, the shoe may need replacement.
Mesh upper appears dirty and hard to clean
Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with a mild soap and water solution to gently agitate dirt from the mesh. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women, the sizing follows standard UK foot measurements. Compatibility with specific activities is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light fitness. They are not intended for professional athletic training.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the mesh and synthetic materials. For tougher spots, a mild soap can be used sparingly.
- Midsole and Sole: Clean the foam midsole and rubber sole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can deform the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity and colour.
