Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GT-2000 Trainers are designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and supportive everyday shoe with a nod to classic running shoe aesthetics. Their key benefit lies in combining GEL technology cushioning with a breathable mesh upper for daily wear. A potential caveat is that while inspired by the GT-2000 series, this specific model, the GT-2160, offers a distinct revival of early 2010s design elements.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the ASICS GT-2000 trainers?

These trainers are designed primarily for everyday comfort and casual wear, drawing inspiration from classic running shoe designs.

What does 'taking design cues from the GT-2000 series of the early 2010s' mean?

It means the trainers incorporate design elements, such as the wavy forefoot sculpting and the overall aesthetic, that were characteristic of ASICS GT-2000 models from that specific time period.

How does the GEL technology benefit the wearer?

The GEL technology inserts in the midsole provide cushioning and absorb shock, enhancing comfort during walking and everyday activities.

Are these trainers suitable for serious running?

While they offer good cushioning for daily wear, they are best suited for casual use and light activities rather than high-performance or long-distance running, which may require more specialized footwear.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Gently clean the mesh with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing.

What materials are used in the ASICS GT-2160 trainers?

The trainers feature an open-hole mesh upper with synthetic overlays and a rubber outsole, with a foam midsole incorporating GEL technology.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

Troubleshooting

Discomfort after first wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and fit.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the mesh. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the outsole is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.
