FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-NYC 2.0 trainers are designed for casual wear and light training. While they offer comfort and cushioning, they are not optimized for the specific demands of marathon running. For competitive racing, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How do the TRUSSTIC™ support units benefit the wearer?
The TRUSSTIC™ support units are integrated into the midsole to provide midfoot structural integrity. They help control pronation and enhance overall stability, preventing the shoe from twisting excessively and supporting a more natural gait.
What is the primary difference between GEL-NYC 2.0 and the previous version?
The GEL-NYC 2.0 features an updated midsole formation with FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, which results in a lighter and more comfortable feel compared to the first version.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap for cleaning.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and fit, it is recommended to wear athletic socks designed for trainers. The thickness of the sock can also affect the overall fit of the shoe.
What is the warranty period for ASICS GEL-NYC 2.0 trainers?
Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the official ASICS website for detailed warranty terms and conditions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive tightness across the width of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, try wearing them with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher. They may also loosen up with wear as they break in.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole. If the noise persists, it might be a manufacturing defect.
Reduced cushioning effect
The cushioning materials may have compressed over time. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. For light activities, they should retain their feel; for demanding use, consider replacement if the cushioning feels significantly diminished.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on very wet surfaces can be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For enhanced grip in wet conditions, consider specialized footwear.
