FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
The ASICS GEL-NYC "Birch Driftwood" trainers are designed for everyday wear and light running sessions. For long-distance or high-intensity running, ASICS recommends models specifically engineered for those purposes.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Generally, it is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the sizing guide. The "Birch Driftwood" model in UK size 10 is specified.
What makes the 'Birch Driftwood' color unique?
The color is a distinctive deep blue inspired by the natural shades of birch driftwood, offering a unique and eye-catching aesthetic.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but the synthetic upper is not waterproof. They are suitable for general conditions but may not be ideal for heavy rain or wet environments.
What is the main benefit of the GEL system?
The GEL system is engineered to absorb shock effectively, reducing impact on your joints and providing a cushioned, comfortable feel with every step.
Is the synthetic upper breathable?
Yes, the upper is made from lightweight synthetic material specifically chosen for its breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit initially
Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to allow them to break in. Adjust lacing to provide more room if needed.
Dirt on synthetic upper
Wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and let air dry.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While GEL cushioning is durable, its maximum effectiveness is maintained with regular, but not excessive, use. Ensure the shoes are not used for activities beyond their intended scope (e.g., intense sports).
