ASICS Gel-NYC - Graphite Grey - Suede - UK 5.5

The ASICS GEL-NYC sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear, everyday activities, and light walking. While they offer excellent comfort, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense sports activities.

For mesh and synthetic areas, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water. For suede parts, use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt, or a suede eraser for scuffs. Avoid excessive water on suede and always allow to air dry.

ASICS' GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system placed in the midsole. It absorbs shock during impact, provides superior comfort, and helps to create a smoother transition through your gait cycle.

Generally, ASICS shoes are considered true to size. However, fit can vary by individual. It's recommended to consult the ASICS sizing chart and consider your usual shoe size. If possible, try them on to ensure the best fit.

Due to the suede components, these sneakers are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions. Suede can be sensitive to water and may stain or get damaged. If you anticipate wet weather, consider waterproof footwear options.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different sock thicknesses. The shoes may also need a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.

For dry dirt, use a specialized suede brush. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a professional suede cleaning kit is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

This is often caused by moisture between the insole and the shoe's interior. Remove the insoles, clean and dry both surfaces, and then reinsert them. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help.

While GEL technology provides excellent cushioning, prolonged heavy use can compress foams over time. Ensure you're using the shoes for their intended purpose (casual wear, light walking). If issues persist, refer to warranty information.
