Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-2160 is a performance running trainer designed for adult runners who require a blend of stability and cushioning for long-distance training. Its primary benefit is the integration of advanced support technologies that reduce fatigue, though users should note that as a stability-focused shoe, it may feel firmer than neutral, max-cushion racing flats.

FAQs
Is the ASICS GT-2160 suitable for neutral runners?
While designed with stability features, neutral runners can wear them if they prefer a firmer, more supported feel, but they are specifically engineered for those who overpronate.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, their stable base makes them suitable for weight training and general gym use, though they are optimized for forward-motion running.
How often should I replace my trainers?
Typically, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and the surface you run on.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
The standard version of the GT-2160 is a regular fit. Check specific retailer stock for wide or narrow variants.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the sockliners are removable to allow for the insertion of custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight after a long run
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Try loosening the laces in the midfoot area or re-lacing the shoe using a runner's loop to relieve pressure points.
Visible wear on the outsole after short use
This is often due to running surface composition. Inspect your gait; if you see uneven wear, consider visiting a running specialist for a gait analysis to ensure the stability features are right for your foot strike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GT-2160 trainers, start by ensuring a proper fit; allow a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. When the shoes become dirty, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the midsole foam. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the mesh upper using a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to prevent the glue and materials from weakening. If you use custom orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-provided sockliner before inserting your own.
