FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the Gel-NYC 2.0 provides excellent comfort and stability, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday walking and casual use rather than a high-performance distance running shoe.
Does the leather material require special treatment?
Yes, it is recommended to use a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect the upper from rain and stains without affecting the breathability of the shoe.
What is the fit of the Gel-NYC 2.0?
The model generally fits true to size, but because of the structured leather panels, those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which allows you to replace them with custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
How do I identify if these are genuine Asics?
Check the interior tongue label for the specific model number and ensure the packaging includes standard Asics branding and authentication details.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as the window-lacing method, to relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.
Midsole foam appears compressed or dirty
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner with a soft cloth to gently buff out marks on the midsole foam; do not use harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-NYC 2.0 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors during the first week to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For leather care, wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging in water.
- Storage: Keep your sneakers in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or color fading.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure fit across the midfoot to allow the Trusstic unit to function as intended.
