FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Asics GEL-NYC trainers are designed for everyday wear and light workouts. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning features are recommended.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide and measure your foot length. The classic lacing system allows for some adjustment once you have the correct base size.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the GEL cushioning and synthetic materials. Hand clean using the instructions provided.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning technology is designed to absorb shock effectively, protecting your joints and providing a softer landing with every step.
What does 'retro-futuristic' mean in the context of these shoes?
It refers to a design that blends classic, older styles (retro) with modern, forward-looking elements (futuristic), creating a unique aesthetic.
How durable is the synthetic upper?
The synthetic upper is designed to be durable for everyday wear and flexibility. For extremely demanding activities, materials like reinforced mesh or leather might offer greater longevity.
What other colors are available?
While this guide focuses on the 'Storm Cloud Pure Silver' blue colorway, Asics often releases this model in a variety of color options. Please check with your retailer for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The GEL cushioning is designed for long-term use, but if you notice a significant decrease, it may indicate extensive wear. Ensure you are using them within their intended capacity (casual wear, light workouts).
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe's shape may not be ideal for your foot type.
Upper material becoming stiff
Avoid exposing the trainers to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain flexibility.
