FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they utilize performance-inspired technology, the Gel-NYC is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than a technical running shoe.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the upper features a breathable mesh, meaning it is not waterproof or water-resistant.

How do I ensure the right fit?

These trainers follow standard UK sizing; we recommend selecting your usual shoe size for the best fit.

Can I remove the insole?

Yes, the insole is removable, which is helpful if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.

How do I maintain the reflective accents?

Avoid using harsh chemicals or heavy scrubbing on the reflective areas to ensure they retain their visibility properties.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh upper

Use a soft brush to gently remove loose debris and then dab with a damp cloth using a mild detergent.

Odour buildup after long-term wear

Remove the insoles to air out and sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoe; leave overnight and shake out before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required. To ensure a proper fit, select your standard UK sizing, ensuring enough room for toe movement. For care, it is recommended to spot clean the mesh and synthetic leather components using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive components. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to maintain the structural integrity of the upper and the responsiveness of the midsole.
