FAQs
Are the ASICS GT-2160 trainers suitable for marathon running?
The GT-2160 is designed for daily mileage and offers good cushioning. For marathon distances, consider models specifically engineered for long-distance racing, which may offer more advanced support and responsiveness tailored for such events.
Can these trainers be used for gym workouts?
While comfortable for light gym activities, the GT-2160 is optimized for running. For strength training or cross-training, shoes with a flatter, more stable base might be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or consult with a footwear specialist. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the shoe's end.
What is the main difference between GT-2160 and GT-2000 series?
The GT-2160 often emphasizes retro design elements and cushioning inspired by early 2010s models, while the GT-2000 series typically focuses on stability and is often recommended for mild overpronation.
How often should I replace my ASICS GT-2160 trainers?
It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support, or visible wear on the outsole.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the ASICS GT-2160 trainers feature a breathable mesh upper and are not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation during runs in dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Consider using the shoe's lacing system to adjust the fit. If tightness persists, these may not be the right size or width for your feet.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL technology and foam midsole are designed for long-term cushioning, but performance can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacement after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles).
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, wet surfaces can be challenging. Reduce speed and exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals which can damage the mesh.
