FAQs
How do I clean my ASICS GEL-NYC trainers?
For mesh and synthetic parts, use a soft brush with mild soap and cool water. For leather overlays, wipe with a damp cloth. Air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The GEL-NYC trainers are designed for everyday comfort and light activities like walking or casual wear. While they offer cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes for high-performance or long-distance running.
What is GEL technology?
GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock and provide a smoother transition from impact to toe-off, enhancing overall comfort.
How do I find the correct size?
These trainers are listed in UK sizes. It's recommended to consult the ASICS sizing chart if you are unsure or compare with your current shoe size. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The `mesh upper` offers breathability but is not waterproof. While the `rubber tread` provides good traction, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to prevent water from entering the shoe and to preserve the materials.
What materials are these trainers made from?
The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers feature a combination of `Leather & Textile Upper` and a `Synthetic Sole`.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The `spongy foam midsole` and `GEL technology` provide a cushioned foundation, which offers general comfort and support. For specific orthopedic arch support needs, you may consider using custom insoles if compatible.
Troubleshooting
Trainers make a squeaking sound when I walk.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, ensure the laces are tied securely.
My feet feel too warm or sweaty.
The `mesh upper` is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks, such as moisture-wicking athletic socks, which can greatly improve comfort. Also, allow your trainers to air out thoroughly between uses.
The traction feels less effective than expected.
Check the `rubber tread` for any embedded dirt, small stones, or debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and soapy water to restore its grip. Ensure the walking surface is dry, as even good traction can be compromised on very wet or oily surfaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional comfort for daily wear due to GEL technology and foam midsole
- Durable construction with mesh, leather, and synthetic overlays
- Secure and customizable fit with traditional lacing
- Reliable traction on urban surfaces from the rubber tread
- Stylish Grey and Cream design suitable for diverse casual outfits
- Breathable upper keeps feet comfortable during extended use
Cons
- Not specifically designed for high-impact or specialized athletic performance (e.g., competitive running, intense court sports)
- Lighter colorways (Cream) may show dirt more easily, requiring frequent cleaning
- The combination of materials might make them slightly heavier than ultra-light performance running shoes
Initial Setup:
- Lacing: Upon first wear, adjust the laces to achieve a snug but not overly tight fit. The padded ankle collar should feel secure around your foot.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow a short break-in period (a few hours of wear) for the materials to fully conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility:
- Socks: Best worn with athletic or lifestyle socks that provide adequate cushioning and moisture-wicking properties.
- Activities: Ideal for everyday walking, casual wear, light training, and urban exploration. Not recommended for rigorous trail running, heavy lifting, or sports requiring specific foot support (e.g., basketball, tennis).
- Surfaces: Designed for paved roads, sidewalks, gym floors, and similar even surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper:
- For `mesh` and `synthetic` areas: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution (e.g., diluted laundry detergent) with cool water. Gently scrub in small circular motions.
- For `leather` overlays: Wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of leather cleaner if necessary.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage materials.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole:
- Wipe down the `foam midsole` with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
- Scrub the `rubber tread` with a brush and soapy water to clear debris and maintain traction.
- Drying:
- Always air dry your trainers at room temperature.
- Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), which can warp materials or degrade adhesives.
- Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
