ASICS GEL-NYC - Graphite Grey/Black - Suede - UK 8.5

While the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers draw inspiration from heritage running shoes and feature advanced cushioning, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer excellent comfort for daily activities and urban exploration rather than high-performance running.

For best results, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner and protector are recommended. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as suede can be easily damaged.

ASICS GEL technology is a proprietary cushioning system strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact. This provides a softer landing, smoother transition, and enhanced overall comfort, reducing fatigue during prolonged wear.

> Info needed: ASICS generally fits true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. It is always recommended to refer to the official ASICS size chart or, if possible, try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes.

Due to the suede upper, it is advisable to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or excessively wet conditions. Suede can be easily stained or damaged by water. Applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede can offer some protection, but it won't make them fully waterproof.

The GEL-NYC trainers are best suited for everyday casual wear, offering superior comfort for activities like walking, commuting, and social gatherings. Their unique design makes them a versatile and stylish choice for lifestyle fashion.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner as per product instructions, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Ensure correct sizing, as ill-fitting shoes can reduce perceived comfort. While the cushioning system is designed for durability, consistent heavy use over extended periods can lead to some compression. Consider rotating with other footwear to extend the lifespan of the cushioning.

> Info needed: This can sometimes be due to insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. If the squeak persists, try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch underneath the insoles to reduce friction. If the noise is structural, professional repair might be needed.
