FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and comfort, not for high-intensity athletic performance like marathon running. For running, specialized ASICS running shoes are recommended.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or check the measurements of a well-fitting pair of your current shoes. You can measure your foot length from heel to toe for accuracy.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid submerging them in water, and allow them to air dry completely if they get wet.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology in the sole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints and offering enhanced comfort during walking and daily activities.
How should I clean the cream-coloured parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the cream areas. Always air dry them afterward. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
Are there other colour options available for the Gel-NYC series?
Yes, the Gel-NYC series is available in various colourways. Please check the ASICS product range for other available options.
What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care and regular use for casual purposes, the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers can last from one to several years. Lifespan depends heavily on usage intensity and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on soles
Ensure you are not dragging your feet while walking. Check for any gait abnormalities if the issue persists and consult a professional if concerned.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify the size and fit. Try wearing thicker socks. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Ensure laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is natural with wear, especially in flexible materials. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure the shoes fit correctly and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Colour transfer from grey to cream
This is uncommon but can occur if the grey dye is exposed to excessive moisture. Ensure shoes are dry before prolonged contact with lighter materials. If it occurs, attempt a gentle cleaning with a specialized shoe cleaner.
