FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are designed with GEL technology for cushioning, making them comfortable for daily wear and light jogs. For serious long-distance running, dedicated performance running shoes might offer more specialized support and features.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner and a damp cloth can be used carefully. Always allow suede to air dry and avoid soaking.
What is the primary inspiration behind the Gel-NYC design?
The design draws inspiration from the aesthetic trends of the early 2000s, offering a retro look with modern construction.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to preserve the materials, especially the suede.
What does the 'Gel' in Gel-NYC stand for?
The 'GEL' refers to ASICS' proprietary GEL cushioning technology, which is strategically placed in the shoe to provide enhanced shock absorption and comfort.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe bed. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also help.
Discoloration of suede
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush to restore the color and texture.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
The GEL technology is designed for longevity, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure proper care and consider rotating with other footwear if used for high-impact activities daily.
