FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The GEL-NYC is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer. While it has GEL technology, it is optimized for casual everyday use rather than professional long-distance running.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
The shoes are based on standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box for comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the structural integrity of the gel inserts. Use manual cleaning methods only.
Are the insoles removable?
Most models feature removable insoles, which allows you to swap them for custom orthotics if required.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the combination of the foam midsole and GEL cushioning provides a stable platform that offers moderate arch support for neutral foot types.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the grey upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap.
Midsole foam feels less responsive after heavy use
Rotate your footwear to allow the foam cells to recover their shape over 24-48 hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are ready-to-wear trainers, no complex setup is required; ensure you select the appropriate UK size for your foot shape. To maintain the appearance of the grey fabric and layered materials, it is recommended to wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after exposure to muddy or dusty conditions. Avoid machine washing, which can degrade the adhesive bonds and foam integrity. If the shoes become soaked, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can warp the midsole foam.
