Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not ideal, consider using thicker or thinner socks, or adjusting the lacing pattern. For persistent fit issues, consulting a size chart or trying them on in person is recommended.
Discomfort during prolonged wear
Verify that the correct size has been purchased. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure the laces are tied appropriately – not too tight, not too loose.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for reliable traction on most common surfaces. However, like all footwear, grip may be reduced on extremely wet or slippery conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.
Upper material shows signs of wear
Avoid excessive exposure to abrasive materials or harsh conditions. Follow the recommended care instructions for cleaning and drying to preserve the material's integrity.

Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gel-NYC trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can distort the shoe's shape.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles and clean them separately using a damp cloth. Ensure they are fully dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use.
