FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are designed for comfort and cushioning suitable for everyday wear and light training. For marathon running, specialized shoes with advanced support and responsiveness features are generally recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your toes should have about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot without being tight, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred cleaning method.
What is the main difference between the GT-2160 and other ASICS series like GT-2000?
The GT-2160 typically focuses on a retro aesthetic combined with foundational comfort and cushioning, often drawing from older designs. The GT-2000 series, while also offering cushioning, is generally engineered with more modern performance features geared towards stability and longer-distance running.
How long should I expect the cushioning to last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage intensity and frequency. For regular wear, the GEL and foam cushioning should provide effective comfort for several hundred miles or typically 6-12 months of consistent use before gradual degradation occurs.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The ASICS GT-2160 trainers feature a textile and synthetic mesh upper, which is designed for breathability rather than waterproofing. They are not waterproof and may become saturated in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider using insoles for personalized arch support or cushioning. Break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Reduced grip or slippery sole
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris. If the outsole appears significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.
Fraying or loose threads on the upper
Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid pulling on them. For more significant fraying, consult a shoe repair specialist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply lace them up and wear them. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult women. Designed for casual wear, walking, and light training. They are compatible with various athletic and casual outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt from the foam midsole and rubber outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
