FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The GT-2160 trainers are designed with heritage aesthetics and modern cushioning for everyday comfort and light training. For long-distance running, ASICS recommends specific performance running shoe models that offer advanced support and cushioning for higher mileage.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

A proper fit should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the shoes can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles, as this can affect the materials and cushioning. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.

What does 'heritage design language' mean for this shoe?

It means the GT-2160 incorporates design elements, silhouettes, and features that were popular in ASICS running shoes from the early 2010s, particularly the GT-2000 series. This includes specific lines, sculpting, and structural components.

How does the GEL technology work in these trainers?

ASICS GEL technology is strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock. It works by dissipating impact forces, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on your joints during wear.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the ASICS GT-2160 trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for individuals of any gender.

What is the 'wavy forefoot sculpting'?

This refers to the distinctive wave-like design incorporated into the forefoot area of the midsole. It contributes to the shoe's aesthetic and aids in the natural flexibility and movement of the foot.

Troubleshooting

Uneven fit or discomfort

Ensure laces are properly adjusted. Try different lacing techniques. Verify you have the correct size; consult the ASICS sizing guide if unsure.

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more walks. If the sound persists, check if moisture is trapped between layers or if the insole is slipping.

Premature wear on the sole

Review your activity. If used for intense activities beyond casual wear or light training, the sole may wear faster. Ensure proper care and avoid abrasive surfaces.

Color transfer onto socks

Especially with darker or more vibrant colors, some initial color transfer might occur. This should lessen after the first few wears. Ensure the shoes are dry before wearing.
