FAQs
What does GEL™ technology do?
GEL™ technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and smoother transition for enhanced comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
The ASICS GT-2160 offers a 'retro running feel' and comfortable cushioning ideal for light jogging, walking, and casual wear. For serious or competitive running, ASICS offers more specialized performance models.
How do I determine my size?
The GT-2160 generally runs true to size. It's recommended to consult the ASICS sizing chart, measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart for the most accurate fit. Remember to consider sock thickness.
What materials are used in the GT-2160?
The upper is constructed from breathable mesh with synthetic overlays. The sole features GEL™ Cushioning Inserts within a segmented midsole and a durable rubber outsole.
Can I machine wash my ASICS GT-2160s?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. It's best to clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap.
How do I keep my white shoes clean?
Regularly wipe down the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For tougher marks, a soft brush or dedicated shoe cleaner can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the material.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, or use thinner socks. Allow for a short break-in period if new.
Squeaking noise when walking.
Check if the laces are too tight or loose. Sometimes, trapped debris under the insole or within the outsole can cause squeaking. Remove the insole and clean underneath.
Outsole seems to lack grip.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dirt or debris. Check for excessive wear on the tread. If worn, it might be time for a replacement.
Unpleasant odor from the shoes.
Air out your shoes after each use. Remove insoles to dry separately if needed. Consider using shoe deodorizers or natural odor absorbers like baking soda.

Your ASICS GT-2160 sneakers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply unbox, insert your feet, and adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent slippage during activity.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your GT-2160s:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tough spots, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help preserve their shape over time.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry your ASICS GT-2160s, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
