ASICS Gel-NYC 2.0 Trainers - Grey - UK 10.5

While they incorporate running shoe technology for comfort, the Gel-NYC 2.0 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer, blending heritage and modern styles for everyday wear. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized performance running shoe models.

For optimal comfort and breathability, especially with the mesh upper, athletic or breathable cotton-blend socks are recommended. Consider thinner socks if you have a standard width foot and find the fit snug.

Use a soft, damp cloth for the mesh and a suede brush for the suede. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water. For detailed instructions, refer to the 'Care Instructions' section.

GEL® technology is ASICS's proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a comfortable and smooth transition during impact and toe-off.

The Gel-NYC 2.0 trainers are generally considered true to size for standard width feet. It's always recommended to consult size charts and reviews, and consider trying them on if possible.

The design draws inspiration from ASICS's heritage running styles, such as the Gel-1050, combined with modern performance running shoe elements and contemporary sole construction.

The mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. While the rubber outsole provides grip, the shoes are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. As these are standard width, consider using thinner socks or exploring alternative lacing techniques. If the issue persists, they may not be the best fit for your foot shape.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner, following the product instructions carefully.

Check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris. Clean the sole with a brush and water. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.
