Product Information
Full details
These ASICS GT-2160 trainers are designed for adult women seeking a blend of retro running style and modern comfort. Their key benefit lies in the combination of an airy mesh upper for breathability and GEL inserts in the midsole for superior cushioning, ideal for everyday wear. A potential consideration is that while they offer good traction, they are primarily designed for casual use and light training rather than high-impact, professional athletic performance.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for professional running?
The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are primarily designed for retro style, everyday comfort, and light athletic activities. For professional or high-intensity running, specialized performance running shoes from ASICS or other brands might offer more targeted support and features.
How do I know if I have the right size?
These trainers are sized in UK adult sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart, or try them on if possible, to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the main benefit of the GEL inserts?
The GEL inserts are strategically placed in the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption and cushioning, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and offers reliable traction for everyday use and light activities. For extreme conditions or heavy wear, its lifespan may vary.
What kind of upper material is used?
The upper is constructed with an open-hole mesh for breathability, complemented by synthetic overlays for structure and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner socks or consult the ASICS sizing guide for accurate measurements. The materials may also relax slightly with wear.
Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any embedded debris. If the issue persists on very smooth or wet surfaces, be mindful of reduced grip in such conditions.
Discomfort during prolonged wear
Verify the fit and consider if the shoe's cushioning meets your specific needs for extended periods. For very long durations or specific athletic demands, specialized footwear might be more appropriate.

Care Instructions:

- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the rubber sole, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly.
