FAQs

Are ASICS GEL-NYC trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoe designs and featuring GEL technology, the GEL-NYC trainers are primarily designed for everyday comfort and lifestyle wear, not for high-performance or strenuous athletic running.

What is ASICS GEL Technology?

ASICS GEL Technology is a cushioning system placed in the rearfoot and/or forefoot of the shoe to absorb shock during impact and toe-off phases, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue.

How do I choose the correct size?

It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to ASICS' sizing chart. Many find ASICS trainers to be true to size, but individual fit preferences can vary. This specific pair is a UK 5.5.

What materials are the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers made from?

These trainers feature a combination of a breathable mesh upper, supportive suede overlays, and a durable rubber outsole.

Can I machine wash my GEL-NYC trainers?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash your trainers. This can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the hand-cleaning instructions in the 'Care' section.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The ASICS GEL-NYC provides standard comfortable support suitable for general daily wear. For individuals requiring specific or advanced arch support, custom insoles may be considered.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. New shoes might require a short 'break-in' period. Try wearing thinner socks initially or adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points.

Squeaking sound when walking

Often, squeaking comes from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little talcum powder inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If it's the sole, ensure it's not separating.

Trainers are difficult to keep clean, especially suede parts

Regularly brush off dirt from suede with a soft suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner. For mesh, a damp cloth with mild soap is usually effective. Prompt cleaning of spills helps prevent stains.

Foot odor develops after wear

Allow your trainers to air out completely after each wear, ideally for 24 hours. Use moisture-wicking socks, and consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adult wearers, specifically in a UK size 5.5, with a 'Grey' color family. They are suitable for various casual attire and can complement a wide range of personal styles. While designed for adult feet, always ensure the chosen size matches your actual foot measurements for optimal comfort and support.

Care

To ensure your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers maintain their appearance and longevity, follow these general care guidelines:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh sections, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede overlays, use a soft brush or a specialized suede cleaner to remove dirt and scuffs. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the suede.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to warp or fade.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Odor Prevention: If needed, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, or use shoe deodorizers.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction.
