FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer cushioning, they are not specialized for high-impact activities like running, which require specific performance-oriented footwear.
What is the best way to clean the 'Black Graphite Grey' trainers?
Gently clean with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart for accurate measurements. The shoes should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. This model is a UK size 9.
What does 'Gel-NYC' signify?
'Gel-NYC' refers to the series name, often indicating a blend of ASICS' iconic GEL cushioning technology with design influences inspired by New York City's dynamic urban environment.

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have measured your foot correctly according to ASICS sizing guidelines. If the fit is still not right, consider exchanging for a different size. Note that variations can occur between different shoe models.
Minor scuff marks on arrival
Inspect the packaging for damage. Minor cosmetic marks on the sole or sides that do not affect performance can occur during manufacturing or transit. Use a damp cloth to gently wipe them away if possible.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Break-in periods can vary. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are tied correctly for optimal support without being too tight.
