FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer comfort and support, they are primarily lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes.

The models follow standard UK adult sizing. We recommend choosing your usual shoe size, or measuring your foot length in centimeters to match with the ASICS size chart.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the GEL cushioning system. We recommend hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
What is the primary material used?
The trainers feature a mix of durable synthetic materials and a robust rubber sole designed for urban environments.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, the Gel-NYC series comes in various sizes ranging from UK 4 to UK 11.5 to accommodate different foot dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Outer sole picking up debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove stones or dirt trapped in the rubber outsole treads.
General aesthetic dullness
Use a sneaker-safe cleaning solution and a soft cloth to gently buff away scuffs on the grey and black panels.
Foot discomfort during wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure but comfortable fit. If discomfort persists, check if the shoe size is appropriate for your arch type.
