FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS GEL-NYC are designed primarily for urban environments, daily wear, and light athletic activities. While they offer excellent comfort, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of marathon running, which typically requires shoes with more specialized cushioning and support features.

What is the primary difference between the GEL-NYC and other ASICS running shoes?

The GEL-NYC differentiates itself by blending heritage ASICS running shoe aesthetics with modern comfort technologies, making it ideal for lifestyle and casual wear. Other ASICS models might focus more heavily on performance for specific sports like trail running or track sprinting.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A properly fitting shoe should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive tightness around the forefoot or midfoot.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

While the synthetic and leather upper offers some resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider footwear specifically designed for wet weather.

How often should I clean my ASICS GEL-NYC trainers?

The frequency of cleaning depends on usage. It's recommended to wipe them down after particularly dusty or dirty use. A more thorough cleaning can be done periodically or when the shoes appear visibly dirty to maintain their appearance and material integrity.

Is the 'Cream White' colorway truly unisex?

Yes, the 'Cream White' colorway is described as a unisex design, meaning it's intended to be stylish and functional for all genders. However, sizing is typically offered in men's or women's specific foot measurements.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a more personalized fit. Leather may require a short break-in period.

Slipping on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole is designed for good grip, but performance may vary on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that could impede traction.

Uneven wear on the sole

This could indicate an irregular gait. While the GEL-NYC is designed for comfort, significant uneven wear might warrant consulting a footwear specialist if it causes discomfort.

Discoloration or damage to the leather upper

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions. Use appropriate leather care products to maintain the material's condition and color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use, suitable for a wide range of casual activities and light athletic endeavors. They pair well with various casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and synthetic upper, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and smudges. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a brush or cloth to remove dirt from the midsole and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can damage the materials and affect the shoe's shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shoe's form.
