FAQs

Are the Asics GEL-NYC trainers suitable for long-distance running?

These shoes are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use. While they feature GEL technology, they are not optimized for long-distance athletic performance.

How does the sizing compare to other Asics models?

The GEL-NYC generally runs true to standard Asics sizing. If you have previously owned Asics trainers, you should find a consistent fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the adhesive and structural integrity of the layered materials and the GEL units.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The design features a complex layered upper which provides structural durability and a retro aesthetic.

Does this model provide arch support?

The foam and GEL midsole provide a balanced level of cushioning that offers moderate support suitable for daily wear.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper material

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the materials retain their original shape.

Midsole looks dusty or dull

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap-and-water mix with a soft sponge to buff the wavy midsole edges.

Laces becoming undone frequently

Ensure they are double-knotted or consider replacing with performance-grade laces if high-intensity walking is planned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Asics GEL-NYC trainers remain in peak condition, consider these care tips:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the layered upper. Wipe midsoles with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the GEL cushioning inserts.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most users, but consider checking the specific UK sizing guide before purchase to ensure the best fit.
