FAQs
What makes the GT-2160 different from other ASICS trainers?
The GT-2160 stands out due to its direct homage to the specific design language of the GT-2000 series from the early 2010s. It retains iconic elements like the wavy forefoot sculpting and segmented midsole, offering a unique blend of heritage and industrial aesthetics with modern cushioning.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
While the GT-2160 features advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for everyday wear and casual activities. They are not optimized for high-impact sports or competitive running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible. Check your foot length and compare it to ASICS' sizing charts. Remember that the fit can feel different initially due to the design and materials, and a break-in period might be needed.
What is the typical break-in period for these shoes?
Like many trainers, the GT-2160 may require a short break-in period. Wearing them for a few hours at a time for the first week or so will help them conform to your foot shape for maximum comfort.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning technology. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What does the 'segmented midsole' do?
The segmented midsole divides the cushioning unit into sections. This design contributes to the shoe's aesthetic and can provide a more responsive feel and targeted flexibility during movement.
Where can I find other colorways or sizes?
You can explore other available colorways and sizes through authorized ASICS retailers or the official ASICS website. The specific model and colorway in this guide is 'Grey / Silver' in a UK Size 11.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit or discomfort
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if the fit is slightly loose, or thinner socks if they feel snug.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe or where the sole meets the upper. Ensure laces are tied correctly and not overly tight.
Dirt or stains on the upper
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for trainers.
