FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Asics Gt-2160 trainers offer cushioning suitable for light jogs or short runs. For dedicated runners or those undertaking long-distance running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning technologies are recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Asics or the retailer. Measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size. Given they are unisex, consider trying them on if possible for the best fit.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
Yes, the shoes are designed to accommodate standard insoles. If you use custom orthotics, check their thickness to ensure they fit comfortably within the shoe without making it too tight.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and moderate use, Asics trainers are generally durable. Lifespan can vary based on frequency of wear, type of activity, and adherence to care instructions, but typically they last from several months to a couple of years for regular users.
Is the white/grey colorway easy to keep clean?
The white and grey combination can show dirt more readily than darker colors. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap will help maintain their appearance. Follow the care instructions for best results.
What makes the GEL inserts beneficial?
The GEL inserts are strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock effectively during impact. This provides a softer landing and reduces stress on the foot and joints, enhancing overall comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing worn laces with new ones that offer better grip.
Slight discomfort in the arch area.
This may be due to the shoe's natural shape. Try adjusting the lacing system to redistribute pressure or consider using aftermarket insoles for enhanced arch support.
Outsole grip feels reduced on wet surfaces.
While the outsole is designed for non-slip grip, wet surfaces inherently reduce traction. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Material scuffs easily.
Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. Regular cleaning with appropriate products can help maintain the material's appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond ensuring they are tied correctly for a secure fit. The lace-up closure allows for adjustment to your personal comfort level.
Compatibility: The Asics Gt-2160 are designed as unisex trainers, compatible with adult foot sizes. They are suitable for a range of activities from casual walking to light training. For specialized sports requiring advanced support or stability (e.g., running marathons, court sports), users may wish to consult footwear specifically designed for those disciplines.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Asics Gt-2160 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the midsole and outsole, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can cause warping or material degradation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
