Asics Gel-NYC Walking Shoes

Description

• Upper: Supportive 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: Durable full-contact rubber sole mapped to eliminate localized pressure hot spots beneath the heel and ball of the foot.

  Key Features & Benefits

• Joint Impact Defense: Dual GEL technology buffers heavy heel strikes and forefoot loading, easing stress on ankles and knees.

• Plantar & Arch Stability: Torsional midfoot shank supports the arch and reduces strain across the plantar fascia.

• Grounded Rearfoot Alignment: Molded heel structure cradles the calcaneus to promote proper walking mechanics.

• Pressure-Relieving Platform: Broad, flat 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.
