FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?
The GEL technology is strategically placed in the rearfoot and forefoot to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced cushioning and a smoother transition from heel-strike to toe-off.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning, the GEL-NYC trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not optimized for high-intensity running or specialized athletic performance.
How do I determine the correct size?
The product description notes that a UK 8.5 corresponds to a US 9.5. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with ASICS sizing charts to ensure the best fit.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper is constructed from a combination of suede, faux leather, and breathable mesh for a layered look and comfortable feel.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and GEL components. Spot clean with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaners.
What is the origin of the GEL-NYC series?
The GEL-NYC series draws inspiration from heritage ASICS running models, combining retro aesthetics with modern comfort technologies.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot type.
Suede material appears dirty or scuffed
Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede brush to gently lift stains and restore the nap of the material. For stubborn marks, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and material. Consider waxed laces for added durability and a smoother feel.
