Asics Gel-Nyc Trainers - Green/Silver - UK 5.5

No, the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are designed for urban adventures and everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for the specific demands of marathon running.

The upper is primarily made of synthetic material, which provides lightweight comfort and excellent breathability.

Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush can be used on the synthetic upper. Always air dry.

The synthetic upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they get wet.

The GEL-NYC takes inspiration from retro styles and integrates GEL cushioning for everyday comfort and style. The GEL-CUMULUS is a dedicated running shoe line focused on performance and advanced cushioning for runners.

While this guide focuses on the "Sage Frost Pure Silver" model, ASICS often releases the GEL-NYC series in various colorways. Please check available listings for other options.

UK 5.5 is a standard adult foot size. It's always recommended to check the ASICS sizing chart for precise measurements and comparisons.

Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, focusing on even pressure. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe's construction. Try wearing thicker socks or inserting a thin insole liner to reduce friction.

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before wearing.

While GEL cushioning is durable, its responsiveness may decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as accumulated dirt can affect performance. Consider replacing them if significant wear is evident.
