ASICS GEL-NYC - Cream Oyster Grey Natural - UK 4

While the GEL-NYC incorporates elements from performance running styles and includes GEL technology for comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. It's excellent for casual wear, walking, and light everyday activities, but not intended for serious or high-mileage running.

For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Always air dry away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.

ASICS GEL technology is a cushioning system designed to absorb shock and provide comfort. It involves strategically placed GEL units within the midsole, typically in high-impact areas like the heel or forefoot, to reduce the impact on the foot during movement.

Generally, ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are considered to run true to size for most users. It's recommended to try them on with the socks you typically wear to ensure the best fit.

This specific model features a leather upper. While leather offers some natural water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the material and maintain comfort. If they get wet, dry them properly as per care instructions.

This particular variant of the ASICS GEL-NYC features a premium leather upper, providing a durable and stylish finish.

This is normal for new shoes, especially leather ones. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape. The cushioning will also adapt.

Check if insoles are properly seated or if there's any debris trapped underneath. Sometimes new rubber soles can squeak on certain surfaces; this often subsides with wear. Ensure laces are not too tight.

Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner and then apply a leather conditioner or polish designed for the specific leather type to restore its luster.

Remove the insoles. Stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture. Air dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Use a shoe deodorizer if necessary once dry.

While ASICS GEL technology is durable, all cushioning materials can compress over very long periods of heavy use. Ensure you are caring for the shoes as per instructions. Replacing insoles with new cushioning ones can sometimes refresh the feel.
