FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by performance running styles and featuring GEL technology for comfort, the ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, urban lifestyle, and light walking, not high-performance or competitive running.

How do I choose the correct size?

ASICS sizes are generally true to size. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the official ASICS size chart. If unsure, consider trying them on or selecting your usual trainer size.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is preferred. Always air dry.

What is GEL technology?

GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that uses silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the midsole (often heel and forefoot) to absorb shock and provide enhanced comfort during impact.

Are these trainers durable for daily use?

Yes, ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are built with quality materials designed to withstand daily wear and tear, offering lasting comfort and style when cared for properly.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The product description mentions lightweight foams and GEL technology for the midsole. The specific upper material for this Graphite Grey Black variant is not detailed. Please check the product tag or description for detailed material composition if available, as other variants may use leather or suede.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size. Try different sock thicknesses. Break in new shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods.

Squeaking sound when walking

Check if the insole is properly seated or if there is moisture trapped between the insole and sole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a thin layer of baby powder underneath.

Trainers appear dirty quickly

Regularly brush off loose dirt. Apply a protective spray suitable for your trainer's material to repel water and stains. Clean immediately after use if they become soiled.

Sole feels less cushioned over time

Cushioning can compress with extensive use. Ensure proper storage when not in use. Consider rotating with other pairs of shoes to extend the life of the cushioning.
