FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC shoes true to size?
Yes, these shoes are designed to fit standard adult sizing. If you have a wider foot, you may prefer to wear thinner socks or consider a half-size adjustment if available.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they feature advanced cushioning, these are classified as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance professional running shoes.
How do I clean the leather sections?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the leather to prevent staining or texture loss.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the Gel-NYC Graphite Grey Black is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for various adult foot shapes.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed using a durable and breathable combination of leather and mesh.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for additional support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation in the mesh fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dry dirt, followed by a light wipe with a damp microfiber cloth.
Uncomfortable fit or tightness
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted to allow for natural foot expansion throughout the day and verify you are wearing the correct sock thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-NYC stays in peak condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper features a blend of mesh and leather, it is recommended to avoid heavy submersion in water. Use a soft brush to remove surface dust from the mesh and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for the leather panels. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue to weaken. Ensure you verify your UK sizing, as this specific model is listed in UK 5 and features a unisex design suited for adult foot shapes.
