Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for urban exploration and everyday training. Their key benefit is the advanced GEL cushioning technology derived from the GEL-CUMULUS series, offering excellent shock absorption. A potential consideration is that while they offer comfort, they are primarily lifestyle trainers and not specialized performance running shoes.

FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers suitable for running marathons?

No, the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle wear and light training. They offer good cushioning for everyday activities but lack the specialized support and responsiveness required for marathon running.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the size chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Generally, measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the corresponding UK size. The provided product information lists UK sizes.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the leather upper. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of this specific ASICS GEL-NYC model is primarily made of leather, which contributes to its lightweight comfort and breathability.

How does the GEL cushioning compare to other ASICS models?

The GEL cushioning in the GEL-NYC is derived from the GEL-CUMULUS series, known for its effective shock absorption. It provides a smooth ride suitable for everyday comfort.

Do these trainers offer good ankle support?

The GEL-NYC features a low-cut, sporty profile. While they provide a secure fit through lace closure, they offer moderate ankle support typical of lifestyle trainers, rather than the high support found in specialized high-top athletic shoes.

What is the main difference between GEL-NYC and other ASICS series?

The GEL-NYC distinguishes itself by merging a retro ASICS silhouette with modern GEL cushioning technology, aiming for a balance of classic style and contemporary comfort, making it ideal for casual wear and light activity.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the tightness persists, consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning effect

The GEL cushioning may feel less pronounced after extensive use. While it is designed for durability, consider the shoe's lifespan for peak performance. Ensure no debris is lodged in the sole.

Leather upper showing scuffs

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove scuffs. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner can help restore the appearance.

Slight squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try inserting a thin talc-free powder or a dryer sheet inside the shoe temporarily to absorb moisture and reduce friction.
