FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Gel-NYC 2.0 is designed for everyday wear and light running. For marathon training or racing, ASICS offers specialized running shoes with more advanced performance features.
How do I clean the leather and suede parts?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth for the leather and mesh. For suede, use a dedicated suede brush and cleaner. Avoid machine washing.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is ASICS's proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock effectively, providing comfort and reducing impact on joints.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
The materials offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What does the 'Retro-style running shoe silhouette' mean?
It means the design is inspired by the classic athletic shoes from the early 2000s, featuring a layered upper and a profile reminiscent of that era, updated with modern technology.
Are these trainers unisex?
This specific model and size (UK 6.5) are listed as Men's. While style preferences vary, ASICS typically designs specific models for men and women with different fit considerations.
What is the difference between Gel-NYC and Gel-NYC 2.0?
The Gel-NYC 2.0 is a refreshed version, often featuring updated materials, cushioning technologies (like FF Blast™ Plus), or minor design tweaks for enhanced comfort and performance while retaining the core retro aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. Consider using a shoe stretcher if persistent.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialist suede cleaner.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While GEL cushioning is durable, its responsiveness can decrease with heavy use. For optimal comfort in demanding situations, consider rotating footwear.
Traction feels less reliable on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like all footwear, grip is reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
