Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of vintage aesthetic and modern comfort for everyday wear. These shoes provide the core benefit of signature GEL technology for effective underfoot cushioning during extended periods of walking or casual use. While they excel in comfort and style, prospective buyers should note that the open-hole mesh upper design is optimized for breathability rather than heavy-duty outdoor weatherproofing.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While the GT-2160 is based on a running silhouette, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual use rather than technical athletic performance.

How should I clean the white mesh?

Gently spot clean with a mixture of water and mild soap using a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.

Are these trainers true to size?

The ASICS GT-2160 generally fits true to size for most adults, though those preferring a thicker sock may consider their standard sizing or slightly larger.

Can I remove the insoles?

The insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics for specialized support.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open-hole mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if exposed to rain or puddles.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose or slip during walking

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and use a double-knot if necessary to maintain consistent tension.

Visible dirt on the white mesh upper

Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing to avoid damaging the mesh fibers.

Accumulation of small debris in the mesh holes

Tap the soles of the shoes together outside or use compressed air from a distance to safely clear debris from the mesh pores.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic retro running aesthetic
  • Excellent underfoot comfort via GEL technology
  • Highly breathable construction
  • Versatile unisex design
  • Durable rubber outsole for everyday surfaces

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy wet-weather conditions
  • Mesh material can be prone to snagging on sharp objects
  • White colourways require regular maintenance to remain clean

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience with your GT-2160 trainers, start by adjusting the classic laces to match your foot width; the secure fit is essential for the GEL technology to function properly. Compatibility-wise, these trainers feature a neutral, timeless profile that pairs easily with jeans, casual trousers, or athletic wear. For care, avoid machine washing, which can damage the synthetic materials and mesh components. Instead, clean the outsole with a damp brush to remove grit, and spot-clean the upper mesh with mild soap and a soft cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and adhesive integrity.
