FAQs
What kind of activities are these sneakers best for?
The ASICS Gel-NYC sneakers are ideal for daily casual wear, urban exploration, light walking, and social outings. They offer excellent comfort and style for everyday use but are not designed for high-performance sports or intensive running.
How should I clean my Gel-NYC sneakers?
Gently brush off any loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe down the surfaces. Allow them to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
What is GEL technology?
ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact. In the Gel-NYC, it's found in both the forefoot and rearfoot to provide enhanced comfort and protection.
Are these sneakers waterproof?
The ASICS Gel-NYC sneakers are not specifically designed to be waterproof. While they can withstand light splashes, we recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their condition and avoid getting your feet wet. A water-repellent spray can offer some protection.
What is the sizing like for the ASICS Gel-NYC?
The ASICS Gel-NYC generally runs true to size. This specific variant is a Men's UK size 13. We recommend checking ASICS' official sizing guide if you are unsure or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the standard insoles in the ASICS Gel-NYC are typically removable, allowing you to insert your custom orthotics for personalized support and comfort.
Troubleshooting
My sneakers feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct UK size 13. Try adjusting the lacing to customize the fit. If discomfort persists, consider visiting a store for a professional fitting to confirm your size.
The shoes look dirty quickly.
Regularly brush off loose dirt. For everyday cleaning, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Consider using a sneaker protector spray to repel dirt and stains before wear.
My feet feel uncomfortable after wearing them for a long time.
While Gel-NYC offers excellent comfort, extended periods of standing or walking can still cause fatigue. Ensure your socks are breathable and supportive. You might also consider aftermarket insoles designed for additional arch support or cushioning, if needed.
The soles are squeaking.
A squeaking sound can sometimes be caused by moisture or air trapped between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and letting them dry completely before reinserting. A light sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can also help.

- Do not machine wash as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
- Drying:

- Storage:
- Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Protection:
- Applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for sneakers can help protect the materials from elements and spills. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
