FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?

The GEL technology, specifically Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL, is designed to provide superior shock absorption, cushioning impact during walking and standing, thus reducing fatigue.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While the GEL-NYC offers excellent cushioning for everyday use and light training, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and may not provide the specialized support and responsiveness required for competitive marathon running.

How should I care for the leather and suede parts of the trainers?

Clean leather with a damp cloth. Use a suede brush for suede areas. Avoid harsh cleaners and machine washing. Allow to air dry naturally.

What inspired the design of the GEL-NYC series?

The GEL-NYC series draws inspiration from the heritage designs of ASICS models like the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS V, combined with tooling from the GEL-CUMULUS 16.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers feature mixed materials, including mesh which is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. It's best to protect them from excessive water.

What does the 'Extra EU' manufacturing location mean?

It indicates that the product was manufactured in a country outside of the European Union.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

Refer to the size chart provided by ASICS and measure your foot. The front lace-up fastening allows for some adjustability, but choosing the correct UK size based on your foot length is crucial.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of tension. Wear with appropriate socks. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct for your foot.

Squeaking sound during walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Ensure laces are properly tied and check for any loose parts. Sometimes, walking on different surfaces can alter the sound.

Discoloration on leather or suede

For minor marks, try a specialized leather or suede cleaner. For significant discoloration, consult a professional shoe care service. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged sunlight.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Consider using wax-coated laces for increased durability.
