FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Gel-NYC is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer. While they feature comfortable cushioning, they are not optimized for long-distance running or professional athletic performance.
How should I clean my Gel-NYC sneakers?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
Does the sizing run true to standard UK sizes?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but keep in mind that individual fit preferences can vary based on your foot shape and the thickness of the socks you wear.
What does the 'Black Clay Grey' colourway look like?
This colourway features a dominant black base with subtle clay grey accents, creating a sleek, versatile look that is easy to style.
Can I remove the insoles to use custom orthotics?
The insoles in the Gel-NYC are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or scuffs on the upper material
Gently wipe the area with a soft, damp cloth and a very small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap.
Sensation of the fit feeling too tight
Loosen the laces across the entire length of the shoe rather than just at the top to allow for better volume distribution.
Footbed feels less responsive over time
Ensure the shoes have ample time to air out between wears, as prolonged moisture buildup can affect the feel of the cushioning materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your ASICS Gel-NYC trainers requires minimal effort. When purchasing, ensure you select the correct UK size, such as the 10.5, to allow for natural foot swelling throughout the day. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing; instead, spot-clean the upper with a soft cloth and mild soap. Periodically remove the laces to clean them separately and let the shoes air-dry away from direct heat sources, like radiators, to prevent material damage. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the cushioning system.
