FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While they use performance technology, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and daily wear rather than dedicated endurance running.
How do I clean the leather parts?
Use a dry cloth for dust and a dedicated leather cleaner for stains, ensuring they are air-dried away from sunlight.
Does the sizing run true?
Yes, they follow standard UK adult sizing, though the leather construction may feel more structured than mesh versions.
What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC unit?
The TRUSSTIC unit provides arch support and midfoot stability, helping to prevent excessive twisting during movement.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machines can damage the leather, glue, and internal cushioning components.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on leather upper
Use a damp, soft cloth to gently wipe the area; do not use heavy soap or soak the leather.
Creasing in the toe box area
This is a natural occurrence with leather trainers; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape.
Sensation of the shoe feeling too stiff
Leather requires a short break-in period; wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow the material to flex with your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the GEL-NYC 2.0 features leather elements, it is important to avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. To maintain the material, gently wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft brush or cloth, followed by air drying away from direct heat sources. When sizing, note that Asics sizing typically aligns with standard UK measurements, though the structured leather upper may feel slightly more secure than flexible fabric trainers.
