FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The GT-2160 trainers are designed for retro running style and everyday comfort. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance marathon running and may not provide the advanced support or energy return required for such events.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed with an airy mesh for breathability, complemented by synthetic overlays for structure and support.

How do I find the right size?

We recommend checking the ASICS sizing guide and comparing your foot measurements. It is also advisable to try them on if possible, as fit can be personal. Available sizes include UK 11.5 as listed.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are suitable for light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles may result in wet feet. Proper care and drying are essential after exposure to moisture.

What type of support do these trainers offer?

These trainers offer moderate support with a focus on cushioning thanks to the segmented midsole with GEL technology. They are ideal for neutral pronation.

How often should I clean my GT-2160 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after activities that lead to significant dirt accumulation. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to maintain their appearance and material integrity.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider trying a half-size up or down if the fit is not ideal. Adjust lacing for a more customized fit.

Reduced cushioning over time

GEL technology provides long-lasting cushioning, but extensive use can lead to wear. Consider replacing the shoes if cushioning significantly diminishes.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The rubber provides traction, but its effectiveness can be reduced when dirty. If the shoe is old, the tread may be worn down.

Mesh upper showing signs of wear

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. If minor fraying occurs, consider a fabric glue for small areas. For significant damage, professional repair might be an option, though replacement is often more practical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male wearers. Suitable for casual use, everyday activities, and light fitness.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt from the midsole and rubber outsole. Allow to air dry naturally.
  3. Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry. Always air dry footwear away from direct heat or sunlight to maintain material integrity and shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and damage.
