FAQs
Are the Asics GEL-NYC trainers suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-NYC trainers are designed for everyday wear and light workouts. For marathon running, we recommend specialized running shoes that offer more advanced support and cushioning for high-impact activity.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided on the product page or consult a professional shoe fitter. It is advisable to measure your foot length and compare it with the indicated UK size conversions.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the nylon upper and GEL cushioning. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The primary benefit is superior shock absorption. The GEL technology in the midsole effectively minimizes impact during walking or light activity, protecting your joints and providing a softer landing.
Is the nylon upper durable enough for daily use?
Yes, the nylon upper is selected for its balance of breathability, flexibility, and durability, making it suitable for everyday wear and light activities.
What does 'Storm Cloud Pure Silver' refer to?
'Storm Cloud' refers to the deep blue color of the trainers, while 'Pure Silver' denotes the accent color, likely seen in the ASICS stripes or other design elements.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The Asics GEL-NYC series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options, as colorways can vary.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming untied frequently
Try a double knot or replace laces with a more textured pair that offers better grip.
Slight rubbing or discomfort on first wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure correct sizing and lacing.
Dirt accumulation on the midsole
Use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution with a soft brush to gently clean the midsole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While GEL cushioning is durable, its effect can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacing them if significant wear is evident or if comfort decreases notably.
