Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-2160 is a heritage-inspired trainer designed for adults who appreciate a blend of early 2010s aesthetic and modern comfort. Featuring the signature smooth silhouette and wave-like forefoot sculpting, this shoe provides excellent daily wear cushioning thanks to advanced GEL technology. While perfect for style-conscious users and casual walking, it is important to note that this is a lifestyle iteration rather than a high-performance long-distance running shoe.

FAQs
Is the GT-2160 suitable for running?
While it features heritage performance technology like GEL, this model is marketed as a lifestyle/heritage trainer and is best suited for casual use rather than intense distance running.
How do these fit compared to other ASICS models?
The GT-2160 generally adheres to standard UK sizing, though we recommend checking your measurements as heritage silhouettes can occasionally feel slightly more snug in the forefoot.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal liners are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary material used?
The shoe features a combination of synthetic mesh and durable overlays to balance breathability with structural support.
Are these waterproof?
No, the shoes are not waterproof. We advise against wearing them in heavy rain to protect the integrity of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the forefoot area
This is a natural occurrence due to the wave-like sculpting of the sole; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Difficulty cleaning mesh components
Use a soft toothbrush to gently lift debris from the mesh pores and avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent fiber fraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GT-2160 trainers, it is recommended to keep them away from harsh environmental conditions. When cleaning, avoid using a washing machine as this can compromise the GEL inserts and adhesive bonding; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized staining. Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the synthetic materials. Ensure a proper fit by testing them with the specific sock thickness you plan to wear most often.
