FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While these trainers feature excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed for everyday wear and lifestyle utility rather than high-performance distance running.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Gel-NYC Utility series uses standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required for specific arch support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. They are made from breathable materials that provide comfort but should not be submerged in water or worn in heavy rain.
How should I clean the grey fabric?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing to preserve the fabric texture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long walk
Feet naturally expand throughout the day. Try loosening the laces slightly to accommodate the swelling while maintaining support.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud before wiping with a damp cloth to avoid scratching the surface materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-NYC Utility trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you have enough room in the toe box, as feet often swell slightly during the day. Verify your size using the UK adult sizing chart for optimal fit.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, allow 2-3 days of light wear to let the materials conform to your unique foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized cushioning foams and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material discoloration and premature aging of the synthetic fabrics.
