FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Asics GEL-NYC trainers are designed for everyday wear and light workouts. For marathon running, we recommend specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning tailored for long-distance performance.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from a lightweight synthetic material, providing flexibility and breathability.
How do I clean the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning is integrated into the midsole and is cleaned as part of the overall shoe. Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid direct submersion in water.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
What does 'Storm Cloud Pure Silver' refer to?
This refers to the colorway of the trainers. 'Storm Cloud' indicates a deep blue hue, complemented by 'Pure Silver' accents.
How does the GEL cushioning benefit my feet?
The GEL cushioning technology effectively absorbs shock upon impact, which helps to protect your joints and ensures a softer landing with every step, reducing overall fatigue.
What is the main difference between these and dedicated sports shoes?
While offering good comfort and support, the GEL-NYC are primarily styled for lifestyle and casual athletic use. Dedicated sports shoes often feature more specific engineering for high-impact, performance-oriented activities.
Troubleshooting
Foot Discomfort After Extended Wear
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. If discomfort persists, consider using supportive insoles. These trainers are optimized for everyday use and light workouts, not prolonged high-impact activities.
Synthetic Upper Scuff Marks
Gently buff minor scuff marks with a soft, dry cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces Coming Undone Frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely. Consider double-knotting them or replacing them with different lace material if they are too slippery.
