FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GEL-NYC is comfortable for walking and everyday active pursuits, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer rather than a high-mileage running shoe.
How should I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind that some users prefer a half-size larger for extra room during long periods of walking.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.
How do I maintain the color appearance?
To keep the black and grey aesthetic fresh, store the shoes in a dry, dark place when not in use to prevent fading from UV exposure.
Is the sole non-marking?
The rubber sole is designed for high durability and grip, suitable for most indoor and outdoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first use
The materials are designed to mold to your foot over time; wear them for shorter periods initially to allow for a proper break-in.
Difficulty cleaning surface stains
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the fabric fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard trainers, there is no technical setup required. To ensure a perfect fit, compare your current footwear sizing against UK adult sizing standards. For care, keep the trainers away from extreme heat sources. If they become dirty, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the sneakers in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized bonding agents and GEL components. Always allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
