Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature GEL technology, the Gel-NYC is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe rather than a specialized performance running trainer.
How do I clean the black and grey materials?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild soap solution on a cloth, gently dabbing the area. Avoid submerging the shoes.
Does the sizing run true to size?
The ASICS Gel-NYC typically fits true to standard athletic sizing, but it is always recommended to compare against your existing ASICS footwear or consult a size guide.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for the potential insertion of custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
What is the primary material of the outsole?
The outsole is crafted from high-durability rubber, designed to provide consistent traction across urban surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
This is a natural result of walking; use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
Stiff sensation during initial wear
The materials require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors before moving to full-day outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-NYC trainers maintain their integrity, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the bonding agents and cushioning materials. Instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. For optimal fit, ensure you are wearing the specific socks you intend to use with the shoes during your initial fitting. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them in a well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can cause the materials to stiffen or warp over time.
