The ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers are listed here in UK 8.5. It's generally recommended to try on trainers at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen to ensure the best fit. Compare your usual shoe size with ASICS's sizing chart if available.
No, due to the suede material and advanced midsole components, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the material, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede outlined in the 'Care and Maintenance' section.
Their comfort comes from a combination of technologies: the midsole engineering derived from the GEL-CUMULUS 16 shoe, the integration of lightweight foams, and strategically placed GEL technology inserts. These elements work together to provide superior underfoot cushioning and shock absorption.
Beige suede can show dirt and stains more easily than darker colors. Regular protection with a suede spray and prompt cleaning of any marks using specialized suede products are essential to keep them looking their best.
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, gently rub with a suede eraser. If necessary, use a professional suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Avoid using water or harsh detergents.
Like many new shoes, the GEL-NYC Trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. The lightweight foams and GEL technology should quickly conform for optimal comfort.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks made of moisture-wicking materials. Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts if the issue persists.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's base. Remove the insole, clean both surfaces, and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help reduce friction.
