FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL Technology in these trainers?
The GEL Technology provides excellent shock absorption, offering a soft landing and reducing impact on your joints during wear.
Are the Asics Gel-NYC trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Gel-NYC trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and light training. For marathon running, ASICS recommends specific running shoe models engineered for that purpose.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should allow for comfort without pinching.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the leather and GEL components, and compromise the shoe's structure.
What is the inspiration behind the Gel-NYC design?
The design is inspired by heritage running styles, specifically referencing elements from the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS sneakers, combined with the GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling system.
How should I care for the leather overlays?
Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions.
Are these trainers available in other colors?
Yes, the Gel-NYC model is available in various colorways, including black and grey options, catering to different style preferences.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from soles.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Discomfort or pressure points.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness.
The GEL Technology is designed for longevity, but performance may slightly decrease over extended periods of heavy use. For optimal comfort, ensure the shoes are clean and dry.
Material scuffing or damage.
Avoid abrasive surfaces and activities that could lead to excessive wear. Clean scuffs gently with a damp cloth and appropriate shoe cleaner for leather if necessary.
