FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear; while they offer great comfort, they are not intended for high-mileage performance running.
How do I ensure the correct size?
ASICS generally follow standard sizing conventions. We recommend matching your current UK size to the sizing chart for the GEL-NYC model.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the cushioning units.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a mix of durable synthetic and textile materials designed to balance breathability with style.
Do the black/grey colors fade easily?
Like any sneaker, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight and using a protective spray can help preserve the depth of the colors.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the upper material
Use a dry, soft brush to gently clear away loose dirt before using a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper cleaning.
Insoles becoming uncomfortable after long use
Consider replacing the factory-provided insoles with aftermarket orthotic inserts if additional arch support is needed.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and consider using a double knot for a more secure fit during active use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers, ensure the fit is snug across the midfoot without being restrictive. For optimal maintenance, keep the shoes away from heavy mud or harsh chemicals that could affect the Clay Grey accents. If the trainers get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth with mild soap for any minor stains, ensuring you avoid abrasive scrubbing on the mesh or decorative panels.
