Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the lifespan of your Asics GT-2160:
Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic leather and textile upper, gently wipe dirt and stains using a soft cloth or sponge dampened with a small amount of mild soap and cold water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the materials.
Cleaning the Outsole: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a brush or damp cloth to remove any accumulated mud, dirt, or debris.
Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or other artificial heat sources, as these can cause the materials to warp or degrade.
Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuffing the shoes with paper can help them retain their original shape.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles (if removable) and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets can also be placed inside the shoes when stored.
