ASICS Gel-NYC - Cream/Oyster Grey - UK 10.5

ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based material placed in key areas of the midsole (like the forefoot and rearfoot) to absorb shock, dampen impact, and provide excellent cushioning and comfort during wear.

While they incorporate GEL cushioning from running shoe models, the Gel-NYC sneakers are designed primarily as lifestyle footwear for everyday comfort and casual wear, not for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

The ASICS Gel-NYC typically follows standard UK sizing. We recommend trying them on if possible or referring to a comprehensive ASICS size guide to ensure the best fit. Consider your usual athletic shoe size.

The Gel-NYC's design takes inspiration from the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 3 and MC-PLUS V models for its upper structure, while its tooling (sole unit) features advanced GEL technology from the GEL-CUMULUS 16 running shoe.

Cleaning depends on the specific upper material. For textile, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For suede, use a specialized brush. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and use leather conditioner. Always air dry away from direct heat.

While durable for daily use, these sneakers are not specifically designed for harsh weather. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow, especially for suede or textile variants, to maintain their condition.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Sometimes a new pair of shoes needs a short 'break-in' period. Also, try different types of socks (thicker or thinner) to adjust the fit.

Over prolonged periods of heavy use, cushioning materials can compress. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended lifestyle purpose. If the issue persists, consider the age of the shoe.

Check for any trapped debris between the outsole and midsole. Sometimes, friction between the insole and the shoe's interior can cause squeaking; try removing and reinserting the insole or placing a thin layer of baby powder underneath it.

Clean promptly according to the material care instructions (textile, leather, or suede). For stubborn stains, specialized sneaker cleaning products may be necessary. Do not delay cleaning as stains can set.
