FAQs

Are these ASICS GT-2160 trainers suitable for serious running?

Yes, with their GEL technology and segmented midsole, they are designed to provide responsive cushioning and support, making them suitable for various running distances and regular training. They are specifically crafted to handle miles.

What kind of terrain are these trainers best suited for?

The grippy rubber outsole is optimized for paved roads, tracks, and indoor gym surfaces. While they offer decent grip, they are not specifically designed for challenging off-road trail conditions.

How do I ensure the best fit for my ASICS GT-2160 trainers?

These are a UK 8 (Unisex). We recommend trying them on, ideally with the type of socks you'd normally wear. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that your heel feels secure without slipping.

Can I machine wash my ASICS GT-2160 trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Always clean them by hand using mild soap and air drying them away from direct heat.

What does 'GEL technology inserts' mean?

ASICS GEL technology refers to strategically placed silicone-based material within the midsole. These inserts are designed to absorb shock during impact and provide enhanced cushioning and comfort, improving the overall ride and reducing stress on your body.

Are these trainers comfortable for all-day casual wear?

Absolutely. While built for performance, the comfort features like GEL cushioning and a breathable upper make the GT-2160 an excellent choice for everyday wear, providing support and comfort throughout the day.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique. Try adjusting the tension across different sections of the laces. For a wider foot, you might try skipping the top eyelet. For a snugger fit, consider using all eyelets and a runner's loop knot.

The trainers are making squeaking noises.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior of the shoe and the underside of the insole, then reinserting it. If the squeak persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help. If the squeak comes from the outsole, it might be due to a smooth, wet surface or debris lodged in the tread; clean the outsole thoroughly.

My feet get too hot during runs.

While the mesh upper is breathable, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, not thick cotton socks. Also, consider the ambient temperature and adjust your running time to cooler parts of the day if possible. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight, which can restrict circulation and airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent Cushioning: GEL technology provides responsive comfort for long distances.
  • Breathable Design: Mesh upper keeps feet well-ventilated, reducing discomfort from heat and moisture.
  • Durable Construction: Synthetic overlays add to the longevity of the shoe, resisting wear and tear.
  • Secure Fit: Traditional lace-up closure allows for a customized and locked-in feel.
  • Reliable Traction: Rubber outsole offers good grip on diverse surfaces.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for running, walking, and general athletic or casual wear.

Cons

  • Color Scheme: The White, Pure Silver, and Black colorway may not suit all personal style preferences.
  • Specific Material Feel: While breathable, the combination of wavy mesh and synthetic overlays might feel different from other material constructions.
  • Not Water-Resistant: The mesh upper, while breathable, offers minimal protection against rain or puddles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Upon first wear, unlace the trainers fully. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated against the back of the shoe.
  2. Adjusting Fit: Begin lacing from the toes upwards, pulling each cross-section snugly but not too tightly. Aim for a secure fit that allows for natural foot flex without constriction.
  3. Knotting: Tie a double knot to ensure the laces remain secure during activity.

Compatibility

  • Sizing: These trainers are a UK 8, designed for adult use. ASICS sizing is generally consistent, but it's always recommended to try them on to ensure the perfect fit, especially if you plan extended use.
  • Gender: Classified as 'Unisex', making them suitable for all.
  • Activity: Ideal for running, walking, gym activities, and general casual wear.
  • Terrain: Best suited for paved roads, tracks, and indoor surfaces due to the outsole design.

Care

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic overlays, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a mild soap diluted in cool water and a damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: A stiff brush can be used to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or machine dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Stuffing with newspaper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture after heavy use.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air them out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda packets if odors become an issue.
