FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature comfort-focused GEL tech, they are primarily designed as retro-inspired lifestyle trainers and are not intended for high-performance running.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the overlays.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
ASICS standard sizing typically follows your normal casual shoe size; ensure your longest toe has roughly a thumb's width of space at the front.
Do the GT-2160s provide arch support?
The midsole construction provides moderate support suitable for daily casual wear, though those needing orthopedic support may consider adding custom insoles.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the breathable polyester mesh upper is porous and will allow water to penetrate in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the mesh surface
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dry debris, followed by a light wipe with a damp cloth.
Laces coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the lace material is dry, as damp laces may slip more easily.
Feeling of slippage inside the shoe
Adjust the lace tension at the mid-foot area to pull the overlays closer to your arch for better lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your GT-2160 trainers maintain their shape and aesthetic, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: These trainers are available in specific UK adult sizes. Ensure you check your sizing against standard ASICS fit charts, as the structured overlays provide a snug mid-foot feel.
- Compatibility: The neutral white and grey palette pairs well with athletic wear, denim, or casual trousers, making them highly versatile for a varied wardrobe.
- Care: To clean, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents on the polyester mesh to prevent material degradation. Let the shoes air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources to protect the cushioning materials.
