FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-NYC trainers are designed for everyday comfort and light athletic activities. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of marathon running. For long-distance running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or product pages. Generally, you should measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for ASICS GEL-NYC trainers. The harsh cycles and detergents can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between GEL-NYC and GEL-NYC 2.0?
The GEL-NYC 2.0 incorporates FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning for a lighter and more comfortable feel compared to the first version. It refines the midsole formation for enhanced underfoot comfort while maintaining the blend of heritage and modern design.
How do I clean the leather overlays?
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the leather. For stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean cloth. Avoid soaking the leather.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The GEL-NYC features TRUSSTIC™ support units which enhance stability. Combined with the GEL™ technology and FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, they provide a supportive and comfortable experience for many users during casual wear and light activities. However, for severe arch support needs, custom orthotics might be considered.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Consider the thickness of your socks. If the fit is persistently uncomfortable, the size may not be suitable.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try loosening and re-tightening the laces. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the issue persists, it might be related to the midsole construction.
Reduced cushioning over time
The cushioning materials may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat, which can degrade cushioning. For persistent loss of comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage.
