FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of high-impact running. For running, it is recommended to use shoes designed for that specific activity.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided size chart. This specific variant is a UK size 5.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and structure of the shoes. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and allow them to air dry.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during walking and standing, thereby enhancing overall comfort.
What kind of support do these shoes offer?
These trainers offer good support for casual walking and daily activities with a stable base due to the flat heel and cushioned midsole. They are not designed for pronation control or specialized athletic support.
What other colors or sizes are available?
The ASICS Gel-NYC series comes in various colorways and sizes. Please check the product listing or other variants for different options.
What is the toe type and heel type of the ASICS Gel-NYC?
The ASICS Gel-NYC features a round toe type for comfort and a flat heel type for stability during casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are not tied too tightly. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size for your foot, as width can also be a factor.
Slight discomfort after initial wear
This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly as dirt can affect material performance. If significant, it may be time to consider replacement.
Color transfer to socks
In rare cases, especially with new, dark-colored shoes, some color transfer can occur. This is usually temporary and can be reduced by rinsing the inside lining with cold water and allowing it to air dry completely before wearing.
