FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they feature Gel cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for walking and everyday use, rather than dedicated long-distance running.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the performance-focused fit may feel more secure than casual fashion sneakers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required.
How do I maintain the colour?
Avoid machine washing, as the agitation can damage the Gel units and degrade the colour; spot cleaning is recommended.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-NYC model is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for various foot shapes and styles.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during initial wear
Wear the trainers for short periods over several days to allow the Gel cushioning and upper materials to contour to your foot shape.
Difficulty cleaning light grey panels
Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and water to gently scrub the fabric without saturating the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Fitting
Ensure you choose the correct UK size, as the structure is designed to hold the foot securely. If you intend to wear thicker performance socks, consider how that affects the internal volume.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
- Maintenance: Periodically remove the insoles to let the interior air out, preventing moisture buildup.
