FAQs

What makes the GEL-NYC unique compared to other trainers?

The GEL-NYC is unique due to its specific blend of design heritage, taking cues from models like the GEL-NIMBUS 3 for the upper and the GEL-CUMULUS 16 for the midsole tooling. This fusion creates a distinctive retro-modern aesthetic with advanced cushioning technology.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and comfort for daily wear and walking, the GEL-NYC are primarily designed as stylish trainers. For dedicated, high-impact running, especially long distances, performance-specific running shoes from ASICS might offer more specialized support and features.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the sizing chart. For trainers, it's often advisable to have a little extra room in the toe box, so consider trying them on with your typical athletic socks.

Can the synthetic upper be waterproofed?

The synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. While specific waterproofing sprays for synthetic materials might offer additional protection, they could potentially affect breathability. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in the midsole?

The primary benefit of ASICS' GEL technology is its exceptional shock-absorbing capability. It effectively minimizes impact forces during activities, protecting joints and providing superior comfort for all-day wear.

How often should I clean my Asics GEL-NYC trainers?

Regular cleaning after use, especially if exposed to dirt or sweat, is recommended. A light wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient for daily maintenance. Deep cleaning should be performed as needed based on the level of soiling.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces, especially around the forefoot and midfoot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe's shape does not match your foot.

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between shoe layers or the insole. Try removing the insole and ensuring both it and the inside of the shoe are completely dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can sometimes help.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

While GEL technology is durable, cushioning can naturally diminish with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exceeding their intended lifespan for optimal performance. Clean the shoes regularly as debris can affect cushioning.

Upper material shows signs of wear quickly

Avoid abrasive surfaces and activities that could excessively scuff or tear the synthetic upper. Clean the shoes regularly to remove grit that could wear down the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption for joint protection and comfort.
  • Combines vintage style with contemporary technology.
  • Lightweight materials enhance breathability and reduce fatigue.
  • Durable construction suitable for various activities.
  • Provides a secure and adjustable fit.

Cons

  • Retro design may not appeal to everyone.
  • May offer less specialized support for high-impact sports compared to performance-specific shoes.
  • Synthetic upper, while breathable, might not be as water-resistant as other materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Asics GEL-NYC trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit using the classic lacing system. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly to allow for comfort and circulation.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are suitable for a range of foot sizes. They are compatible with various athletic activities and casual wear. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your GEL-NYC trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water. Allow to dry completely before re-inserting.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
