FAQs
Are these ASICS GEL-NYC Junior sneakers suitable for running?
These sneakers are designed for urban adventures, offering comfort and support for walking and light activities. While they provide good cushioning, for dedicated or high-performance running, specialized running shoes are recommended for optimal support and injury prevention.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
To clean suede, first use a soft-bristled brush to remove any loose dirt. For stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Gently brush to restore the suede's nap after cleaning and allow to air dry.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The ASICS GEL-NYC Junior sneakers feature breathable mesh and suede, which offer some resistance to light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water. We recommend avoiding wet conditions to preserve the materials.
What size should I choose for my child?
These are junior sizes. We recommend measuring your child's foot length and referring to the official ASICS children's shoe size chart to find the most accurate fit. It's always best to try shoes on to ensure comfort and proper sizing.
Can these sneakers be used for competitive sports?
The GEL-NYC Junior sneakers offer good cushioning and support for general active use and daily activities. For specific competitive sports like basketball, soccer, or track, dedicated athletic footwear designed for those particular activities will provide better specialized performance, support, and protection.
How long should these sneakers last for a child?
With proper care and maintenance, and depending on the frequency and intensity of use, these durable sneakers are built to withstand daily wear for active juniors. The lifespan will vary based on individual activity levels and adherence to care instructions.
Troubleshooting
My child's feet feel uncomfortable after long wear.
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose. A proper fit is crucial for comfort. Also, check that your child is wearing appropriate socks designed for athletic footwear, which can help with moisture wicking and cushioning.
The shoes appear dirty quickly, especially the suede parts.
Regularly brush off loose dirt using a soft brush after each wear. For more stubborn dirt or stains on suede, follow the specialized suede cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section to maintain the material's integrity and appearance.
My child is slipping on slightly wet surfaces.
While the grippy rubber outsole provides good traction for urban environments, exercise caution on extremely wet, icy, or oily surfaces as no shoe is entirely slip-proof. Regularly check the outsole for wear, as worn treads can reduce grip.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your GEL-NYC Junior sneakers:
- General Cleaning: Regularly brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft brush.
- Mesh Areas: For the breathable mesh sections, use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the mesh, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Suede Areas: For the smooth suede parts, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers). Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
