FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While based on performance heritage, the GT-2160 is optimized for lifestyle and casual use. They are not recommended for serious marathon training.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the trainers feature a breathable mesh upper which allows air and moisture to pass through. They are not waterproof.
How should I clean the white portions of the shoe?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or mild soap and a soft brush to carefully clean white sections without harsh scrubbing.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, yes. However, ASICS sizing can feel slightly different depending on your foot width, so referring to the standard UK size guide is advised.
What is the primary difference between the GT-2160 and modern running shoes?
The GT-2160 focuses on heritage aesthetics and classic comfort, whereas modern running shoes utilize newer foam tech and different structural designs for specialized athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Mesh upper is stained or dirty
Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently spot clean the area and air dry.
Soles feeling less responsive over time
This is normal wear for EVA foam; ensure you are rotating your shoes to allow the cushioning to recover between wears.
Laces coming untied frequently
Consider a double knot or replacing with standard athletic laces if the original pair is too slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GT-2160 trainers remain in top condition, avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the delicate mesh and midsole glue. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dipped in mild soapy water to gently scrub the upper. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources like radiators. For sizing, these follow standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to wear the socks you intend to use daily when trying them on to ensure a proper fit.
