FAQs

Is the ASICS Gel-NYC suitable for running?

While it draws inspiration from classic running models, the Gel-NYC is designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than a technical performance running shoe.

Does the shoe run true to size?

The ASICS Gel-NYC generally fits true to size for most adults, though it is recommended to reference the brand's standard size chart.

How do I maintain the suede or mesh overlays?

Use a soft brush specifically designed for sneakers to gently remove dust from the mesh and suede textures.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The materials are not waterproof; it is advisable to apply a water-repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

This is a natural occurrence with soft materials; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape.

Inner lining showing signs of wear

Ensure your shoes are fully untied before putting them on to prevent friction against the heel counter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS Gel-NYC stays in peak condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: While these shoes are comfortable out of the box, allow 2-3 wears for the foam to contour to your specific foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the overlay materials.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in the dryer, as this can deform the midsole foam.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading over time.
