FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Gel-NYC trainers are designed primarily for everyday wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, we recommend specialized running shoes that offer advanced support and cushioning tailored for long-distance performance.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart or measure your foot from heel to toe. It's also helpful to try them on in person if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, we do not recommend machine washing the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GEL technology. Hand clean using the instructions provided.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is strategically placed within the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints and enhancing overall comfort during wear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are not waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, which means they will not keep water out. For wet conditions, consider footwear specifically designed for waterproofing.
How should I care for the grey and silver overlays?
Gently wipe the overlays with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What does the 'Ivory Clay Grey' colorway signify?
This colorway refers to the specific combination of colors used on the shoe: an ivory base, complemented by clay and grey tones, along with silver and black overlays, creating a multi-tonal aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Wear with appropriate socks and allow for a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or model.
Traction feels poor on certain surfaces
Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Note that the traction performance can vary on wet or exceptionally smooth surfaces.
Mesh upper shows dirt easily
Follow the recommended cleaning instructions using a mild soap and soft brush. Consider using a protective spray designed for footwear to help repel dirt, though test in an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are wearing out
Replace the laces with a new pair of standard athletic shoelaces. Ensure the length is appropriate for the number of eyelets on the shoe.
