FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are designed with comfort and style for casual wear. While they incorporate running shoe technology like GEL cushioning, they are not intended for rigorous athletic training or competitive running.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of 100% leather, metallic faux leather, and breathable mesh, offering a layered and textured appearance.

How should I clean the cream and white colorway?

For the cream and white colorway, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent for general cleaning. Suede areas should be brushed with a suede brush, and care should be taken to avoid harsh chemicals that could cause staining.

What does 'GEL-NYC' signify?

GEL-NYC signifies a specific model within the ASICS line that merges elements from classic ASICS running shoe designs, such as the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS V, with modern tooling like the GEL-CUMULUS 16.

Is this shoe available in other colors?

Yes, the GEL-NYC series is available in various colorways and material combinations, including grey, black, and different nuances of cream and white. Please check product listings for specific color availability.

What US size corresponds to the UK 8 size?

A UK 8 typically corresponds to a US Women's 10 or a US Men's 9, depending on the specific sizing chart used by ASICS. The product description notes that a UK 8 corresponds to a US 5.5, which is highly unusual and likely refers to a specific internal or regional conversion or a typo. Always refer to the official ASICS size chart for accurate conversions.

Can the metallic faux leather elements be cleaned easily?

Yes, the metallic faux leather elements can generally be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive scrubbing or abrasive materials that could scratch the finish.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoes, then tie them to a comfortable snugness. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.

Discoloration on the cream upper.

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized shoe cleaner for leather and suede.

Suede material looks matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or cleaner may be necessary.

Reduced cushioning effect.

The GEL technology is designed for longevity, but cushioning can feel less pronounced after extensive use. Ensure no debris is trapped within the sole.
