Product Information
Full details
The Asics GEL-NYC trainers in 'Storm Cloud Pure Silver' are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear and light workouts. Their key benefit lies in the advanced GEL cushioning, which provides excellent shock absorption. A potential consideration is that while versatile, they are optimized for light activity rather than intense athletic performance.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Asics GEL-NYC trainers are designed for everyday wear and light workouts. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and stability required for marathon running.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of a lightweight, durable synthetic material designed for breathability and flexibility.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Asics or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size. These trainers are available in UK size 11.5.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the synthetic upper offers some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning in the midsole effectively absorbs shock, reducing impact on your joints and providing a softer feel during walking or light activity.
How often should I clean my GEL-NYC trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after heavy use or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This specific model is the 'Storm Cloud Pure Silver' colorway. Other color options may be available from different retailers or as separate product listings.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear.
This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Foot discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning or support if needed.
Synthetic upper appears dirty.
Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.
