FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel-NYC features retro running DNA and great cushioning, it is categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is optimized for daily walking rather than long-distance running.
How do I maintain the white leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth after use and use a professional leather conditioner occasionally to prevent the leather from cracking.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the sculpted midsole and supportive sidewalls offer a stable platform that provides good structural support for general daily activities.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which is helpful if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.
Are they true to size?
The Gel-NYC generally fits true to your standard ASICS size, though those with wider feet may prefer to verify their size against our sizing guide.
How do the reflective accents work?
The reflective elements are integrated into the paneling to catch artificial light, making you more visible to motorists and cyclists in low-light environments.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white leather or mesh
Use a gentle shoe cleaner and a microfiber cloth to wipe the surface; do not machine wash.
Reduced comfort or responsiveness
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly to lock the heel in place; if the foot slips, the cushioning may feel less effective.
Squeaking on smooth floors
This is often caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe; remove the insole and allow both parts to dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Gel-NYC is a lifestyle trainer, no complex setup is required; simply adjust the laces for a personalized fit across the midfoot.

Care Instructions:
- Surface Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the leather and mesh overlays.
- Spot Treatment: Apply a specialized leather cleaner to treat stains on the upper material immediately to prevent long-term discoloration.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the leather and affect the adhesive bond of the sole.
- Storage: Keep in a well-ventilated space to ensure the lining stays fresh between uses.
