FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GEL-NYC 2.0?
The primary benefit is the enhanced comfort and lighter feel compared to previous versions, achieved through a combination of GEL™ technology, FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, and TRUSSTIC™ support units.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning for daily wear and light activities, they are not specifically designed or recommended for marathon running or other high-impact professional athletic training.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the mesh and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
What is the purpose of the TRUSSTIC™ support unit?
The TRUSSTIC™ support unit is designed to provide stability and torsional rigidity to the midfoot, preventing excessive twisting of the foot and offering a more controlled stride.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The rubber outsole provides some traction, but the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What material are the overlays made of?
The overlays on this specific grey variant are made of leather, providing durability and a structured look.
How does the FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning differ from standard foam?
FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning is engineered to be lighter and provide a more energetic rebound than traditional EVA foams, resulting in a responsive and comfortable underfoot feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Most shoes require a short break-in period; wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. For very wet or slippery surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris that could affect grip.
Laces come undone frequently
Try double-knotting the laces. Consider replacing the laces with a type that offers better grip, such as those with a textured surface.
