FAQs
Are the Asics GEL-NYC good for running?
These are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers. While they have running-inspired technology, they are not intended for serious athletic training.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Yes, they generally align with standard adult sizing for Asics footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and cushioning materials.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively accommodating, but it is recommended to try them on to ensure the width meets your specific comfort needs.
How do I remove scuffs from the cream upper?
Gently use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of mild soapy water to buff out surface marks.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
This is a normal characteristic of the materials used. Using cedar shoe trees when not wearing the shoes can help maintain shape.
Midsole foam showing signs of compression
Allow the shoes to rest for 24 hours between heavy usage days to let the foam recover its density.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics GEL-NYC trainers remain in peak condition, proper maintenance is essential:
- Sizing: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on with the specific socks you intend to wear.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher stains on the cream-colored panels, use a mild, ph-neutral detergent mixed with water and a soft-bristled brush.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause material discoloration or premature wear on the foam.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and air dry them naturally; avoid using high-heat sources like hair dryers, as these can warp the materials.
