FAQs
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are designed for children (juniors/grade school) and are suitable for a range of active ages within that category.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid excessive water. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized suede cleaner, always testing on a small area first.
Does the GEL technology provide arch support?
The GEL technology primarily focuses on cushioning impact in the rearfoot. While it contributes to overall comfort, it is not specifically designed as an orthotic arch support.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They feature breathable mesh and suede, which are not water-resistant materials.
What is the main benefit of the mesh upper?
The larger mesh panels in the upper are designed to enhance breathability, helping to keep young feet cool and comfortable, especially during active use.
How durable are these trainers for kids?
The trainers feature suede overlays for added durability, and a rubber outsole for traction. They are designed to withstand typical daily play and activity for children.
Can these trainers be used for specific sports?
These trainers are ideal for general athletic activities, school, and everyday wear. For highly specialized sports requiring specific features (like court shoes or cleats), dedicated sports footwear would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Loosen laces and re-tie, ensuring they are not too tight. Wear with appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, consider a different size or width if available.
Suede looks dirty or stained
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. Use a suede eraser for minor marks. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Traction feels slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. For significant wear, the grip may be reduced, indicating it may be time for a replacement.
Discomfort during activity
Check that the shoes are laced correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure the socks being worn are appropriate for athletic activity. The GEL cushioning is designed for impact, but significant discomfort may indicate an incorrect fit or that the shoes are not suitable for the specific activity.
