FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The GT-2160 is designed as a lifestyle trainer. While it features cushioning technology, it is optimized for daily walking and casual wear rather than high-performance distance running.

How do I determine the right size?

The shoes follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you are between sizes, we recommend trying the larger size for extra comfort.

Can the insoles be removed?

Yes, the internal liners are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.

Are they machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the GEL inserts and glue bonds.

What is the primary difference between this and the GT-2000?

The GT-2160 is a tribute model that recreates the visual design language of the early 2010s GT-2000 series, focusing on a balance of heritage style and modern comfort.

Troubleshooting

Outer mesh getting dirty quickly

Apply a water-and-stain-repellent spray specifically designed for synthetic mesh footwear before the first use.

Feeling of slipping or loose fit

Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly using the top eyelet to secure the heel, or consider using a thinner performance insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come ready to wear out of the box. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the structure is consistent with standard Asics sizing. To maintain the condition of your shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the mesh upper.
  2. Stain Removal: Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
  3. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material deformation.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam midsole.
