FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for professional marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are designed for general comfort and performance, including casual running. For professional marathon running, specialized racing shoes might offer a more tailored performance advantage.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. It's often recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I wear these with orthotic insoles?
Yes, the trainers often have removable insoles, allowing space for custom or aftermarket orthotic insoles. Check the internal structure to confirm.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The primary benefit of ASICS GEL technology is superior shock absorption and cushioning, which helps reduce impact on joints and provides enhanced comfort during wear.
How should I clean the Birch/Driftwood colourway to avoid staining?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap if necessary, and wipe gently. Avoid coloured cleaning agents that could alter the shoe's colour. Always air dry.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers feature a breathable upper, which prioritizes ventilation over waterproofing. They are not designed to be waterproof and may become wet in heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, ensure the correct size has been selected and consider if the fit is appropriate for your foot type.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Ensure the trainers are not overused for activities they are not designed for. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain the integrity of the GEL technology.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup. They are compatible with most athletic and casual apparel. To maintain their condition:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a dry brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent material degradation.
