FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GT-2160 provides good support, they are primarily intended for lifestyle and versatile use. They are suitable for light jogging, but heavy runners may prefer dedicated technical running models.
How do I determine if UK 8.5 is the right size?
A proper fit should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe, with a snug fit around the midfoot.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your ASICS trainers as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and materials.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Athletic socks made of moisture-wicking materials like polyester or merino wool are recommended to keep feet dry and comfortable.
Is the sole non-marking?
The outsoles are designed for traction and durability on standard urban surfaces; however, they are generally suitable for indoor gym use.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points during use
Ensure the laces are adjusted evenly to distribute pressure and verify that the arch support aligns correctly with your foot shape.
Accumulation of dirt or stains on the surface
Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush using mild soap if necessary, then air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your trainers, ensure you are wearing the correct UK size 8.5 to prevent friction or instability. Regarding care, keep these shoes in top condition by cleaning the exterior with a soft brush to remove dust and dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water, as this can degrade the supportive foam and adhesives. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
