FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are designed for everyday comfort and light activities. While they offer good cushioning and traction for general wear and play, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact or specialized sports.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology integrated into the midsole provides enhanced shock absorption, reducing impact on the feet and joints, and offering a softer feel underfoot.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart. Ensure there is a little room for growth, typically about a thumb's width at the front.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand washing with mild soap and a damp cloth is the best method for cleaning the trainers to preserve their materials and shape.
What materials are used in the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers?
The trainers feature a combination of leather and textile (mesh) for the upper, a synthetic sole including foam and GEL technology for the midsole, and a rubber outsole.
How often should I check my child's shoe size?
Children's feet grow rapidly. It's advisable to check their shoe size every 3-6 months, especially during growth spurts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure the laces are loosened before putting the shoes on and then tied to a comfortable fit. If the shoes are consistently too tight, they may be the wrong size. Consider trying a half-size larger.
Squeaking noise
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the midsole, or moisture. Try removing the insole, ensuring both surfaces are dry, and then reinserting it. If the noise persists, it might be a manufacturing anomaly.
Traction feels slippery
Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or slick residue. If the outsole is significantly worn down, it may be time to replace the trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general children's footwear and are compatible with most everyday children's clothing. They are suitable for unisex wear.
Care Instructions: To maintain the trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the leather and textile upper using a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the foam midsole and rubber outsole. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
