FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers good for running?

The GEL-NYC trainers are inspired by running heritage but are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support and performance features required for serious athletic running.

What materials are the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers made of?

These trainers feature a combination of mesh and leather for the upper, GEL Technology in the midsole for cushioning, and a rubber outsole for durability and traction.

How do I clean my ASICS GEL-NYC trainers?

Clean the upper with a damp cloth for surface dirt. Use a leather cleaner sparingly for leather parts if needed. The outsole can be cleaned with a brush or damp cloth. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally away from heat sources.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, the mesh components are not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider waterproof footwear.

What is the benefit of the GEL Technology in these trainers?

GEL Technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock effectively, providing enhanced comfort and reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear.

Are these trainers available in other colors or sizes?

The ASICS GEL-NYC series is available in various colorways and a wide range of sizes. Please check the product listings for specific available options.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between shoe layers. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder can be applied under the insole.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The GEL Technology is designed for long-term cushioning, but perception can change. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. If significant wear is visible on the outsole or midsole, it may indicate the shoes have reached the end of their optimal lifespan.

Leather parts feel stiff

New leather can sometimes be stiff. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. If the stiffness persists, consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear, following the product's instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers require no specific setup out of the box. They are ready to wear immediately upon purchase.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult males and are compatible with standard UK shoe sizing. They are suitable for general casual wear and can be paired with a wide range of casual clothing.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the mesh and leather. For tougher stains on leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: A brush or damp cloth can be used to clean the GEL cushioning and rubber outsole. Remove any trapped debris from the outsole tread.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
