FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the DYNAMIC DUOMAX stability technology is designed to assist with arch support, which is often beneficial for those with flat feet or overpronation.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Can these be used for gym workouts?
While designed primarily for running, their stable base makes them suitable for general gym activities, though they are not specifically specialized for heavy lifting.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a well-ventilated, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the breakdown of cushioning materials.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of excess heat or sweating
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking running socks and that the laces are not tightened too excessively, which can restrict airflow through the mesh.
Laces coming undone
Double-knot the laces or use a heel-lock lacing technique to ensure a secure fit throughout your run.
Minor debris inside the shoe
Remove the removable insole and shake the shoe upside down, then wipe the interior with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GT-2160 trainers, it is important to follow proper care practices. Break the shoes in gradually by wearing them for short sessions before attempting long-distance runs. Compatibility is generally high for male runners seeking a standard fit. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the surface with a damp cloth using mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the foam and structural adhesives. Always air dry in a cool, shaded area, keeping them away from direct sunlight or heaters which can warp the materials.
