FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday wear, offering a blend of comfort and style. They can also accommodate light training activities.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on most reputable retailer websites. It typically provides measurements to help you match your foot length to the correct UK size.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
No, the Gel-NYC series is designed for lifestyle and casual use. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models with advanced support and cushioning.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS Gel-NYC trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
What does the 'Gel' technology in ASICS shoes do?
The GEL technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system. It's strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact and provide a smoother transition from heel-strike to toe-off.
How do I care for the 'Cream' colorway to prevent yellowing?
To maintain the 'Cream' color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and clean regularly with a damp cloth. Store them in a cool, dry place away from light when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. If discomfort persists, consider if a different size might be more suitable, referencing the size chart.
Discoloration or stains on the 'Cream' upper
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
Reduced cushioning over time
While ASICS' GEL technology is durable, cushioning naturally decreases with extensive use. Ensure proper cleaning and care can help maintain performance.
