Troubleshooting
Outer sole traction feels reduced
Clean the outsole with a damp brush to remove accumulated debris or small pebbles that may affect grip.
Creasing in the upper material
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its original shape.
Minor scuffs on the grey sections
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of water to gently buff away surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-NYC trainers remain in optimal condition, consider the following care guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; verify your fit using the available size options before selection.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the upper materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can cause material warping or color fading.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the shape and integrity of the cushioning foam.
