ASICS GEL-NYC - Grey - 10.5

While the GEL-NYC draws inspiration from performance running styles and features GEL technology for comfort, it is primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday casual wear, not high-performance athletic training or competitive sports.

The ASICS GEL-NYC typically runs true to size. For this specific variant (UK 10.5, Male), we recommend selecting your standard UK shoe size. If you are unsure, consult the official ASICS size chart for precise measurements.

GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel to absorb impact and provide enhanced shock absorption during foot strike and toe-off, contributing to improved comfort.

The ASICS GEL-NYC features a mesh and leather upper, which offers some protection but is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions to protect the materials and prolong the shoe's life.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing, especially in the leather upper.

Yes, with its combination of a leather and mesh upper, along with a robust rubber outsole, the GEL-NYC is designed for durability under regular everyday use. Proper care will further enhance its longevity.

For mesh, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. For leather, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, applied gently with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the materials.

Ensure you've selected the correct size; ASICS GEL-NYC generally runs true to size. If slightly snug, wear them for short periods initially to break in the materials. Consider trying thinner socks to reduce bulk.

New shoes can sometimes squeak on certain surfaces. This often diminishes with regular wear. Check if any debris is lodged in the outsole grooves. If it persists, a light application of baby powder under the insole might help.

Clean mesh areas with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For leather parts, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush, followed by conditioning. Address scuffs promptly to prevent them from becoming permanent.

Try a different lacing technique, such as a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot,' which provides a more secure hold than a standard knot. Ensure the laces are not excessively worn or stretched.
