FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers suitable for running?

While they incorporate running shoe technology and heritage design, the GEL-NYC are primarily intended for casual wear and lifestyle purposes rather than high-performance running or athletic training.

What is the main inspiration behind the GEL-NYC design?

The GEL-NYC draws inspiration from heritage running styles, specifically combining elements from the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS sneakers, while utilizing the GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling system for comfort.

How should I clean my GEL-NYC Trainers?

Clean the mesh and leather upper with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or soaking.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The GEL-NYC features GEL Technology for cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort. For specific or advanced arch support needs, consider adding aftermarket insoles.

What materials are used in the upper construction?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather for a blend of comfort, style, and longevity.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The rubber outsole provides decent traction, but the mesh and leather upper are not waterproof. They are suitable for light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy wet conditions is not recommended.

What does GEL Technology offer?

GEL Technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock during impact and provide a softer landing, enhancing overall comfort during wear.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit upon first wear

The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Discomfort during long periods of standing

While designed for comfort, these are lifestyle trainers. For prolonged standing or high-impact activities, consider insoles or specialized athletic shoes.

Squeaking sound from the sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Scuffs on leather parts

Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or a colored polish matching the shoe's color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As trainers, the GEL-NYC requires no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with most casual wear. They are not designed for specialized sports requiring specific footwear functionalities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For the mesh and leather upper, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth, avoiding excessive water. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  2. Leather Care: Condition leather elements periodically with a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain grip.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
