FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC are designed with running-inspired aesthetics and cushioning for everyday comfort and style. While they offer good support for walking and light activity, they are not engineered for high-impact athletic running.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Generally, UK sizing is different from US or EU sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS Gel-NYC trainers. The washing machine can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by region and retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details applicable to your purchase.
Do the reflective-style accents serve a functional purpose?
Yes, the reflective-style accents are designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, adding a safety feature for urban environments.
How does the GEL cushioning work?
ASICS GEL technology is a shock-absorbing system. It's strategically placed in the midsole to attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phases, ensuring a smooth transition and comfortable ride.
Are these trainers available in other colors?
The ASICS Gel-NYC series features various colorways. While this guide focuses on White Smoke Grey, other color options may be available depending on the retailer and current stock.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers. Ensure shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, try removing the insole and reinserting it, or dust the inside with a small amount of talcum powder.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and appropriate socks. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to mold to your feet. If rubbing persists, consider using athletic tape on potential hot spots.
Reduced grip on surfaces
Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the outsole is significantly worn down, the shoes may need replacement.
