FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The GEL-NYC is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer. While comfortable for walking, it is not specialized for distance running or high-intensity athletic performance.

How do I determine the correct size?

The product is listed in UK adult sizes. We recommend selecting your standard shoe size, though you may prefer a half-size up if you intend to wear thicker socks.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

We do not recommend washing these in a machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and the adhesives used in the sole.

Are these sneakers unisex?

While listed under male categories, the design aesthetic is versatile and suitable for anyone who appreciates the GEL-NYC style, provided they select the correct size.

Do they provide arch support?

The sneakers offer standard support suitable for everyday use; however, if you have specific podiatric needs, you may replace the stock insole with custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure heel-lock lacing technique to improve retention.

Outer sole picking up small stones

Periodically inspect the tread pattern and remove any debris with a dull tool or brush to maintain traction.

Minor scuffs on the upper material

Use a soft-bristled brush or a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for synthetic materials to gently buff away marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required. Ensure you select the correct UK adult size to guarantee the best fit. For care, keep the sneakers in good condition by wiping the exterior with a damp cloth if they accumulate dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the materials and cushioning. If they get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent warping or material damage.
