FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature heritage performance technology like GEL cushioning, the GT-2160 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear rather than high-performance running.
How should I clean the white leather?
Use a damp, soft cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the surface and air dry away from direct heat sources.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Asics trainers generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though individuals with wider feet may prefer to verify the fit at their specific UK size.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from leather, providing a structured and durable finish consistent with the original GT-2000 heritage.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather, the adhesive, and the internal GEL units. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dirt on leather
Wipe down with a damp soft cloth and a gentle leather cleaner specifically formulated for white trainers.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Loss of cushioning comfort
Ensure the insole is properly positioned and not folded; if severely worn, consider replacing the insert with a new pair of sport insoles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather trainers, proper care is essential to maintain the white and pink finish. Keep the shoes away from prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or direct sunlight, which can fade the colour or crack the leather. If the shoes get dirty, use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dampened with mild soapy water to gently remove stains. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this will damage the adhesive bonding and the leather material. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the foam midsole.
