Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-2160 is designed for male runners seeking a reliable balance of stability and comfort for long-distance training. Its primary strength lies in the integration of specialized damping and support technologies that protect the feet during repetitive impact, though users should be aware that it is specifically engineered as a trainer, making it less suitable for high-speed track racing.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for neutral runners?
While the GT-2160 features stability technology designed for those who overpronate, neutral runners may find them supportive for very long distances, though they may feel stiffer than a dedicated neutral trainer.
How often should I replace the GT-2160?
Generally, it is recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight, to ensure the foam retains its shock-absorption properties.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
These shoes are designed primarily for forward-motion running. They provide good stability, but may not be ideal for lateral movements or heavy lifting.
Does the mesh upper provide enough water resistance?
The mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance; they will likely soak through in heavy rain.
What is the primary benefit of DYNAMIC DUOMAX?
DYNAMIC DUOMAX is a support system that prevents the foot from rolling too far inward (overpronation), thereby reducing the risk of strain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
The shoe may require a short break-in period; try wearing them for short walks before long runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot.
Mesh upper shows signs of dirt
Use a soft brush or a cloth dipped in mild soapy water to gently spot-clean the area. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Uncomfortable pressure on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' configuration to relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GT-2160 trainers, it is essential to follow basic maintenance protocols. First, ensure the sizing is correct by checking your standard UK foot measurement against the specific size guide. After every run, remove any debris from the outsole and loosen the laces to allow the interior to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture without distorting the shape of the mesh upper. Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as high heat can degrade the cushioning properties of the FLYTEFOAM midsole.
