FAQs

What is the main inspiration for the ASICS GT-2160 trainers?

The ASICS GT-2160 trainers draw inspiration from the iconic GT 2000 series that was popular in the early 2010s, aiming to capture its original aesthetic and feel.

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. For dedicated long-distance running, it is recommended to look for shoes specifically engineered for that purpose, offering more advanced support and cushioning.

How do I determine my correct size?

It's best to consult the ASICS sizing chart provided on the product page or retailer website. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart for the corresponding UK size. Comparing to previous ASICS footwear you own can also be helpful.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers feature a rubber outsole for traction, but they are not waterproof. They can be worn in light rain, but prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended, and they should be dried thoroughly afterward.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed with a breathable mesh material, complemented by contrasting leather overlays for structure and style.

How often should I clean my GT-2160 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after use in dusty or dirty conditions. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain their appearance. Avoid machine washing.

What kind of cushioning technology is used?

The trainers utilize ASICS' GEL technology inserts within the segmented midsole to provide significant shock absorption and cushioning for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consult the ASICS sizing chart and consider trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a more personalized fit.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Ensure the insoles are dry and properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if friction is the cause.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL technology provides long-lasting cushioning, but like all footwear, it will naturally degrade with extensive use. For very old or heavily used pairs, consider replacing them for optimal comfort and support.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good grip, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces can be limited. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean from any mud or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish retro design inspired by popular past models.
  • Comfortable cushioning thanks to GEL technology.
  • Breathable upper material for enhanced airflow.
  • Durable construction with quality leather overlays.
  • Good traction provided by the rubber outsole.

Cons

  • Sizing may require careful attention for best fit.
  • Primarily designed for trainers, not high-performance athletic use.
  • Color variations might be subtle, requiring close inspection.
  • Limited specific support for niche athletic disciplines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: While designed for general adult male footwear, it's recommended to check the specific size guide for the best fit, as sizing can vary.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the sole.
  3. Drying: Air dry shoes naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to maintain shape and material integrity.
