FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the GEL-NYC offers excellent cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual use and walking rather than high-performance running.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather materials and the adhesive used in the construction. Clean them by hand only.

What does the GEL technology do?

The GEL technology is a silicone-based material placed in the rearfoot to provide shock absorption and reduce the impact on the feet during movement.

Are they true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to measure your child's foot using a Brannock device or a standard size chart before purchase.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The design is inspired by archive ASICS models from the early 2000s, specifically referencing the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS V.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

Yes, the ISS-inspired tooling in the midfoot is specifically engineered to provide stability and support throughout the day.

Troubleshooting

Outer material showing dirt or scuffs

Gently clean the leather surfaces using a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth with mild soap.

Insole feels less supportive over time

Remove the original sock liner and replace it with a supportive athletic insole if arch support requirements change.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure a double knot is used during active play or replace with textured laces that provide more friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heel cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Stylish retro design suitable for various settings
  • Enhanced midfoot stability
  • Increased flexibility in the forefoot

Cons

  • Leather material is more difficult to clean than nylon
  • May require a brief break-in period
  • Limited to specific colorways

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature leather components, it is recommended to keep them away from excessive mud and moisture. To maintain the appearance, wipe them down with a slightly damp cloth after use and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can crack the leather. Ensure you check the sizing guide, as these shoes are available in various UK children's and adult sizing to accommodate different growth stages. To maintain structural integrity, avoid machine washing these shoes.
