Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

No, these trainers are not designed for high-performance athletic activities like marathon running. They are best suited for everyday wear and light activities.

How does the GEL™ technology benefit the wearer?

The GEL™ technology inserts within the midsole provide advanced cushioning and shock absorption, leading to a more comfortable feel during walking and standing.

The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper with supportive leather overlays and a durable rubber outsole.

How should I clean my ASICS GT-2160 trainers?

Gently clean the upper with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe the midsole and outsole clean. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole provides some grip, the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best worn in dry conditions. For wet weather, consider a waterproof footwear option.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Loosen the laces to allow for more room and adjust for a comfortable fit.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces to see if the noise persists. Ensure the insoles are seated correctly. If the noise continues, contact customer support.

Mesh upper appears dirty or stained

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Blot with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Outsole shows signs of wear

The rubber outsole is designed for durability, but excessive wear indicates heavy use. For moderate wear, cleaning is usually sufficient. For significant wear affecting grip, consider replacement.
