Product Information
Full details
The Asics GT-2160 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage running aesthetics and modern comfort. By reviving a classic design from the early 2010s, this sneaker provides essential stability and signature GEL cushioning for everyday wear, though its retro-tech focus means it may lack the high-intensity performance features found in modern specialized marathon shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the GT-2160 is based on a legacy running shoe, it is currently positioned for lifestyle and casual use. For serious long-distance training, consider Asics' dedicated high-performance technical running series.
How should I clean the mesh material?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt, then follow with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
Is the sole non-slip?
The rubber outsole provides excellent traction for general walking and daily use on common surfaces, though no shoe is completely 'non-slip' in all conditions.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The GT-2160 typically fits true to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the low-profile design fits snugly.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the internal liners are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Sensation of heel slippage
Ensure the laces are tightened using the top eyelet (the 'runner's loop') to lock the heel in place.
Surface scuffs on the upper
Use a soft brush or a mild detergent wipe specifically formulated for athletic footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics GT-2160 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers are available in standard UK adult sizing. Use thin, athletic socks if you prefer a tighter fit, or slightly thicker socks for added cushion.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper material with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water, as this can degrade the adhesives and cushioning properties.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning over time.
