ASICS GEL-NYC Junior - Brown - Size: 5

These ASICS GEL-NYC sneakers are specifically designed for juniors, offering appropriate sizing and support for younger wearers.

While they provide excellent cushioning and support for daily activities and urban adventures, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light recreational use rather than intensive running or specialized sports.

GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock and provide a softer landing, enhancing comfort and reducing impact on joints.

We recommend measuring your child's foot and referring to the ASICS size chart. Always leave about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort and growth.

The suede material is not waterproof and should be protected from excessive moisture. While the grippy outsole offers traction on damp surfaces, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended, and specific water-repellent sprays for suede can offer some protection.

Breathable mesh refers to the fabric used in parts of the shoe's upper that allows air to circulate freely. This helps to ventilate the foot, reducing sweat and keeping feet cooler and more comfortable throughout the day.

Ensure the correct size was purchased. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. Some new shoes require a short break-in period for the materials to soften and conform to the foot.

Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or trapped debris. Clean the outsole regularly to maintain optimal grip. If wear is significant, consider replacement.

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner as per product instructions. Protect suede with a suitable spray after cleaning.

Ensure shoes are aired out after each use. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Gently wipe mesh with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard, which can damage the mesh fabric. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.
