FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GEL-NYC features comfort technology, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual wear and walking rather than high-performance distance running.
How should I clean the black and grey fabric?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild detergent. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
How do I choose the right size?
The GEL-NYC follows standard ASICS sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, but consider a half-size larger if you prefer extra room for thicker socks.
What is the primary material of the sole?
The sole is crafted from high-durability rubber, designed for grip and longevity on concrete and pavement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers remain in optimal condition, treat them with care. When initially setting up your pair, ensure the laces are adjusted to your comfort level without creating pressure points on the top of the foot. For compatibility, these sneakers pair well with jeans, chinos, or athletic joggers. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
