FAQs
What makes the GEL-NYC unique compared to other ASICS trainers?
The GEL-NYC stands out with its specific blend of upper designs inspired by the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS V, combined with a midsole featuring both lightweight foams and GEL technology for a distinct retro-modern aesthetic and comfortable cushioning.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking and light activities, they are not optimized for high-intensity running or athletic performance.
How do I clean the cream-colored upper?
For the cream-colored upper, use a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution with a soft brush and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry away from heat.
What is the typical lifespan of ASICS GEL-NYC trainers?
With regular wear and proper care, ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are designed for durability. Their lifespan typically depends on usage frequency, activity type, and maintenance, but generally, they should last through regular daily use for a significant period.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials and ensure comfort.
What size should I choose if I'm between UK sizes?
If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to try the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. However, fit can vary, so trying them on if possible is ideal.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, break them in gradually. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure distribution.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Check lacing for evenness. Ensure insoles are clean and dry. For persistent discomfort, consider if the shoe's support features match your foot type.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them more often or check if any part of the sole is rubbing against the upper. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
