ASICS GT-2160 Trainers - Black - UK 11

The GT-2160 trainers offer good cushioning for everyday comfort and light activities. However, they are not specifically designed as performance running shoes for high-mileage or intense training. For serious running, consider ASICS models engineered for that purpose.

The GEL™ technology is strategically placed in the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear.

It is recommended to try on the shoes, ideally at the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger. Consider your typical sock choice when trying them on.

The mesh upper can become wet, and while the rubber outsole provides traction, they are not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

The upper is primarily constructed from breathable mesh with supportive leather overlays.

The GT-2160 focuses on a heritage aesthetic and balanced cushioning for lifestyle and light activity. Modern running shoes often feature more specialized designs for specific running disciplines (e.g., speed, long-distance, stability).

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check sock choice for potential friction points.

The cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider replacing the insoles or evaluating if the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for optimal performance.

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. If the outsole is significantly worn down, it may be time for a replacement.
