FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity running?
While they feature heritage performance tech like GEL, they are primarily marketed as lifestyle trainers; they are best suited for walking and casual wear.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
The GT-2160 fits true to size, but since they are made of leather, consider your usual UK size; if you are between sizes, opt for the larger size for extra comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and compromise the adhesive integrity of the midsole.
What is the secondary color used in the design?
The specific variant featured uses Pink as a secondary accent color alongside the White primary base.
Does the leather require special treatment?
It is recommended to use a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light rain and stains.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape and reduce deep creases.
Stiffness when new
Leather requires a short break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Dirt buildup in the wavy sole pattern
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear debris from the recessed grooves in the forefoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sneakers are built with leather components, regular maintenance is required to preserve their appearance. Clean the exterior by gently wiping away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather or exposing the shoes to high-heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the material to crack. Ensure you select the correct UK size for your foot, as the leather structure offers less 'stretch' than knit-based footwear. Keep the shoes in a cool, dry area when not in use to prevent color fading or leather degradation.
