FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are designed for daily wear and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and features required for marathon running.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the size guide provided by ASICS or the retailer. Typically, UK shoe sizes are standard, but slight variations can occur between models. Ensure your heel is snug and there is adequate room in the toe box.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the heel is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on your feet and joints. This enhances comfort, especially during prolonged periods of standing or walking.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This specific product listing is for the 'Graphite Grey Black' colorway. ASICS typically offers its popular models in a range of colors, which may be available separately.
How should I care for the upper material?
The upper material can be cleaned gently with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For stains, use a small amount of mild detergent mixed with water and gently scrub. Always allow the shoes to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the laces are not tangled and are threaded through the eyelets correctly. If laces are worn, consider replacing them.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacement after prolonged wear or heavy use.
Material scuffing or damage
Avoid abrasive surfaces and activities that could lead to material damage. Clean scuffs gently with a damp cloth and mild soap.
