FAQs
Are the ASICS GT-2160 shoes suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the DYNAMIC DUOMAX technology is specifically designed to provide the support and stability often required by runners with flat feet or those who over-pronate.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While intended for running, their stable base makes them suitable for moderate gym activities, though they are optimized for forward motion rather than lateral-heavy movements.
How do I determine the correct size?
ASICS sizing is standard for UK adult sizing. It is recommended to have about a thumbnail-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper that allows air and moisture to pass through to keep feet cool; they are not intended for use in heavy rain.
What is the primary difference between the GT-2160 and minimalist shoes?
The GT-2160 provides significant structured support and cushioning, whereas minimalist shoes offer little to no support or padding.
Troubleshooting
Visible signs of foam compression
If the FLYTEFOAM midsole no longer rebounds effectively, it indicates the cushioning has reached its lifespan and requires replacement.
Outer sole showing uneven wear
Monitor wear patterns to ensure your gait hasn't shifted; if discomfort persists, consult a professional for a gait analysis to confirm if the shoe type is still correct for your pronation needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GT-2160 trainers, proper care is essential. When fitting, ensure your heel sits snugly against the back of the shoe with enough room in the toe box to accommodate natural foot swelling during runs. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean with cold water and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying as extreme heat can degrade the foam integrity. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or radiators. We recommend replacing these trainers every 300-500 miles, depending on the intensity of your gait and the surface conditions.
