FAQs
Are the Gel-NYC trainers waterproof?
No, they are primarily made of leather and are not classified as waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or standing water.
Can I use these for marathon running?
No, the Gel-NYC is styled as a lifestyle/heritage sneaker. While comfortable for walking, it lacks the technical support required for high-mileage running.
How do I choose the right size?
The Gel-NYC follows standard adult sizing. If you have worn Asics before, we recommend sticking with your usual size.
What is the primary material used?
These trainers are primarily constructed with leather uppers for durability and style, paired with a rubber outsole.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, most Asics lifestyle models feature a removable insole, allowing you to swap it for custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Leather material feels stiff
Wear the shoes for short intervals at home to gradually break in the leather; avoid forcing the material.
Difficulty cleaning surface dirt
Use a dedicated leather-safe cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out stains rather than scrubbing aggressively.
Slippage at the heel
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through the top eyelets and consider using thicker socks for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics Gel-NYC trainers last, proper care is essential. Given the leather composition, avoid fully submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains on the leather. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking. For compatibility, these trainers generally adhere to standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to ensure your foot is measured while wearing the socks you intend to use with the shoes.
