FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Gel cushioning?
The Gel cushioning provides enhanced shock absorption and comfort, reducing impact on your feet during everyday activities.
Can I wear these for running?
While inspired by running shoes, the Gel-Nyc are best suited for everyday wear and casual comfort. For intense running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How should I clean the suede overlays?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth or a suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by air drying.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the trainers are not waterproof. The mesh and suede materials are not designed to repel water, and they should be kept dry.
What does the '2000s running style' refer to?
This refers to the design aesthetic, incorporating design cues and silhouettes popular in running shoe models from the early 2000s.
What material is the midsole made of?
The midsole is made of lightweight EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) foam, which provides cushioning and energy return.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Lace the shoes snugly but not too tight. The secure fit comes from the lacing system and the shoe's construction. Consider trying them on or checking sizing guides if unsure.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for traction, performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Consider alternative footwear for very slippery conditions.
Cushioning feels stiff initially.
The Gel and EVA midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to conform to your foot.
Discoloration of the mesh or suede.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean the shoes promptly if they come into contact with staining substances.
