Asics Gel-NYC Classic Sneakers

Description

Upper: Flexible suede and mesh paneling that holds the midfoot securely while allowing room over metatarsal heads to prevent pinch points.
Midsole Cushioning: High-grade Solyte foam carrier housing targeted rearfoot and forefoot GEL pods designed to attenuate vertical landing forces.
Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Midfoot Trusstic system and structured heel counter stabilize the foot, preventing arch collapse and excessive inward roll (pronation).
Outsole: Broad full-contact rubber sole mapped to eliminate localized pressure hot spots beneath the heel and ball of the foot.

Key Features & Benefits

Joint Shock Mitigation: Dual GEL technology buffers heavy heel strikes and forefoot impact, reducing stress on ankles and knees.
Plantar & Arch Support: Torsional midfoot shank supports the arch and reduces strain across the plantar fascia band.
Grounded Heel Alignment: Molded rearfoot structure cradles the calcaneus to promote proper walking mechanics.
Pressure-Relieving Base: Flat, broad outsole base distributes body weight evenly to prevent localized foot soreness.

Sizing & Fit Advice

Fits True to Size (TTS). The removable orthotic sockliner easily accommodates custom medical insoles; select half a size up if using thick custom inserts.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred running/athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).
Recommended Fitting Margin:
Casual / Everyday Sneakers: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.
Performance Running: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for comfortable movement and natural toe expansion.

Asics Signature Fit & Characteristics

Performance Fit Profile: Asics running shoes are engineered for a snug, locked-in feel around the midfoot and heel to ensure maximum stability, with optimal room in the forefoot.
GEL™ Cushioning & Arch Support: Due to structured arch support and GEL™ inserts, performance models may feel slightly snugger out of the box compared to casual sneakers.
