FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering excellent comfort for daily activities. While they feature GEL Technology for cushioning, they are not engineered for the specific demands of marathon running, which typically requires specialized performance footwear.
How do I determine the best size?
It is recommended to try on the shoes in person if possible, or consult the ASICS sizing chart available online. Pay attention to the length and width to ensure a comfortable fit, considering that the sizing may vary slightly between models.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to wash ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers in a washing machine. Machine washing can damage the materials, construction, and the GEL Technology components. Spot clean them using the care instructions provided.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper of the ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers is constructed using a combination of mesh for breathability and leather for durability and structure.
How does the GEL Technology benefit the wearer?
The GEL Technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that provides excellent shock absorption. It helps to reduce impact on the feet and joints, leading to enhanced comfort during walking and standing.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
While the standard fit is designed for average foot widths, ASICS occasionally offers models in wider fittings. It is best to check the specific product details or consult ASICS' sizing guide for width options available for the GEL-NYC series.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear. Check that socks are appropriate and free of creases.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try loosening the laces slightly or ensure the insole is seated correctly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole may help.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL Technology provides long-lasting cushioning, but performance may gradually decrease with extensive use. Consider replacement if significant comfort reduction is noticed after prolonged wear.
Leather scuff marks
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialist leather cleaner. For deeper marks, professional shoe repair may be necessary.
