ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers - White - Size 6.5

The ASICS GEL-NYC are primarily designed for casual wear and daily comfort. While they offer excellent cushioning, they do not provide the specialized support and performance features required for marathon running. For marathon training or racing, ASICS offers specific running shoe models.

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly. The GEL-NYC uses a classic lacing system to help you achieve a personalized fit.

The GEL-NYC distinguishes itself by merging the aesthetic heritage of models like the GEL-MC PLUS V and GEL-NIMBUS 3 with the modern comfort technology of the GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling. This creates a unique blend of retro style and contemporary cushioning.

While the rubber outsole offers good traction, the upper materials, especially leather, are not fully waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.

Clean your trainers as needed, typically when they appear visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning and occasional deeper cleaning as per the care instructions will help maintain their appearance and longevity.

Any comfortable socks suitable for casual wear will work well. For added comfort and moisture management, consider athletic or breathable socks made from materials like cotton blends or moisture-wicking synthetics.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Adjust the lacing to provide more or less room in specific areas.

The cushioning properties of the GEL technology and foam may gradually reduce with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities exceeding their intended casual use. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.

Check the outsole for wear and tear. If the tread is significantly worn, traction may be reduced. Clean the outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be preventing proper grip. For persistent issues, consider replacement.

For leather components, use appropriate leather care products to condition and polish. For fabric areas, follow the cleaning instructions carefully. Minor scuffs on leather can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or leather conditioner.
