FAQs

What material are the ASICS GT-2160 trainers made of?

The upper is made of textile and synthetic materials, while the sole is synthetic. The cushioning incorporates GEL technology.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The GT-2160 trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance marathon running. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoes.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoes. Hand wash with a damp cloth as per the care instructions.

What does the segmented midsole design achieve?

The segmented midsole provides a structured feel, enhances stability, and works with the GEL technology inserts to offer advanced cushioning and shock absorption.

What is the main inspiration behind the GT-2160 design?

The GT-2160 draws inspiration from the technical design language of the ASICS GT-2000 series from the early 2010s, preserving iconic design elements and the wavy forefoot sculpting.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the GT-2160 series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not ideal, consider trying a half-size up or down, or explore different lacing techniques to adjust tightness.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box with no special setup required. They are designed for general male footwear sizing.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the textile and synthetic upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the sole units with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, as this can cause materials to degrade or warp.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe box or breathable bag to protect them from dust and moisture.
