FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel-Nyc is inspired by retro running designs and features GEL cushioning, it is categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is best suited for walking and everyday use rather than high-performance running.
How should I clean the suede?
Use a dry, soft-bristle brush to clean the suede. Do not submerge the shoes in water or use harsh chemicals.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The Gel-Nyc provides a neutral, balanced platform with cushioning, but it is not a dedicated medical orthotic shoe.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They feature suede and layered materials which can absorb moisture.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
How does the sizing run?
The ASICS Gel-Nyc generally runs true to standard UK sizing for adults. If you prefer a wider fit for thicker socks, consider sizing up by a half size.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or dust on the suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently buff away surface debris in the direction of the material grain.
Shoes feeling too loose during walking
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets upward to ensure a snug fit around the midfoot, and consider using a "runner's loop" lacing technique at the top.
Midsole foam showing light surface scuffs
Gently wipe the foam midsole with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution, then immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Nyc trainers remain in optimal condition, proper care is essential.
Setup:
When first trying on the shoes, ensure you test them with the type of socks you intend to wear daily to verify the fit. Use the lace-up system to secure the midfoot, ensuring the tongue is centered for maximum comfort.
Compatibility:
These trainers have a versatile profile that pairs well with casual trousers, jeans, or athleisure wear. They are designed for standard adult foot shapes and provide a neutral support profile.
Care Instructions:
Because the upper is constructed from suede, avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt gently. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the foam and cause the suede to stiffen.
