FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS Gel-NYC Trainers are designed for general wear and light athletic activities. For marathon running, it is recommended to use specialized running shoes that offer advanced support and cushioning tailored for long-distance racing.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, suede, and internal cushioning technologies. Hand wash or spot clean as per the care instructions.

What is the primary benefit of the Gel technology?

The Gel technology in the midsole is designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a cushioned and comfortable feel during impact, such as when walking or jumping.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should allow your foot to rest comfortably without feeling pinched.

What other colours are available for the Gel-NYC series?

The Gel-NYC series is available in various colourways, including different combinations of white, grey, and other accents. Please refer to the product listings for available options.

Is the construction unisex?

While this specific product is listed as Male, the Gel-NYC series often features unisex designs. Please check the product details for gender-specific or unisex availability.

Troubleshooting

Laces become worn or dirty

Replace laces with standard athletic shoelaces of a similar length and material. Clean existing laces with mild soap and water.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the gel and foam are durable, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant performance degradation occurs.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe or between the sole and the ground. Ensure the laces are tied correctly and check for any debris in the shoe's tread.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: For the leather and suede components, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather and suede cleaner, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth. Avoid using excessive water.

  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
  4. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
