Full details

They offer a significant benefit in all-day wearability due to their GEL cushioning and traction-focused sole. However, their synthetic and textile upper may not be ideal for very wet conditions. Key features include an airy open-hole mesh upper, dynamic synthetic overlays, GEL inserts in the foam midsole for comfort, and a durable rubber sole for traction.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes and may lack the specific support and performance features required for serious running.
What is the main benefit of the GEL inserts?
The GEL inserts in the midsole are designed to provide superior shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints. This enhances overall comfort, especially during extended periods of walking or standing.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should allow your foot to rest comfortably without being squeezed.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The upper is made of textile and synthetic materials, which are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider footwear with more water-resistant properties.
What does 'noughties style' refer to?
'Noughties style' refers to fashion trends popular in the 2000s (2000-2009). The GT-2160 draws inspiration from the aesthetics and design elements characteristic of that decade's athletic footwear.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear the shoes with thin socks initially. If still tight, consider wearing them for shorter periods to allow them to break in, or ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. For new shoes, the sole may have a coating that wears off with use. If the issue continues on very smooth or wet surfaces, be cautious as traction may be limited.
Discomfort after extended wear
While designed for comfort, individual foot anatomy varies. Ensure the lacing is not too tight. If discomfort persists, the shoe's support or cushioning might not fully align with your specific foot needs for prolonged activity.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the textile and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
