FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the ASICS GT-2160 trainers?

The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday use, featuring a style inspired by early 2000s running shoes.

Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic training?

While they offer comfort and support for light activities, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact running or intensive athletic training. For such purposes, ASICS recommends dedicated running or training shoe models.

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

It is recommended to measure your foot length and consult the ASICS sizing guide. Sizing can vary slightly between models, so checking for specific reviews or trying them on if possible is advisable.

What is the best way to clean these trainers?

For best results, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For a more thorough clean, hand wash using cool water and a soft brush, then air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'UB7-S' in the product name signify?

The 'UB7-S' designation typically refers to a specific collection or update within the ASICS range, often indicating design collaborations or stylistic variations. In this case, it's associated with the ASICS x Kiko Kostadinov collaboration.

What is the heel type on these trainers?

The ASICS GT-2160 trainers feature a flat heel, providing a stable and grounded feel.

What is the closure type for these trainers?

These trainers feature a traditional lace-up closure system for a secure and adjustable fit.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot carefully. Consider trying on a pair in-store if possible. If ordering online, check the return policy for exchanges.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly to avoid unnecessary stress.

Discomfort during extended wear

Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning if needed, though this may affect the original fit.

Color transfer onto socks

This can occasionally happen with new footwear. Washing the inside of the shoe with cool water may help reduce excess dye. Allow shoes to dry completely before wearing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish retro design appealing to sneaker enthusiasts.
  • Comfortable for daily wear and casual activities.
  • Secure and adjustable fit through lace-up closure.
  • Durable materials offer good longevity.
  • Versatile color scheme enhances outfit coordination.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for high-impact or professional athletic training.
  • Specific sizing might require careful attention to ensure a proper fit.
  • Limited availability in certain colorways or sizes.
  • The flat heel might not provide enough cushioning for prolonged standing for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS GT-2160 trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for optimal fit.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with standard UK sizing. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and track pants.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your GT-2160 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for minor dirt. For deeper cleaning, remove laces and insoles, and hand wash the shoes with cool water and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage when not in use.
