FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the GT-2160 design?
The GT-2160 design is inspired by the technical aesthetic and design language of ASICS' GT-2000 series from the early 2010s.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GT-2160 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for high-performance running.
How do I clean my GT-2160 trainers?
Clean them by spot cleaning with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Avoid machine washing or prolonged submersion in water.
What does 'wavy forefoot sculpting' mean?
This refers to a design feature where the front part of the shoe has a distinct wavy shape, contributing to both the shoe's aesthetic and its flexibility during movement.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles can typically be removed and replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired, provided they fit the shoe's internal dimensions.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology inserts?

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more personalized fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width.
Discomfort during initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort continues, check for any potential pressure points caused by lacing or internal seams.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the noise persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Reduced cushioning over time
While designed for durability, cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if the impact absorption feels significantly diminished.
