FAQs

How should I clean the suede material on my ASICS Gel-NYC Trainers?

For routine cleaning, use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For scuffs, a suede eraser can be effective. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water, as it can stain and damage suede.

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the ASICS Gel-NYC Trainers are designed for urban lifestyles, casual wear, and street style. While they offer excellent comfort for daily walking, they are not intended for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.

What is ASICS Gel Technology?

ASICS Gel Technology is a cushioning system developed by ASICS. It involves strategically placed silicone-based gel units in the midsole to absorb shock, provide cushioning, and enhance comfort during movement, reducing impact on the foot.

Are ASICS Gel-NYC shoes true to size?

Generally, ASICS shoes, including the Gel-NYC model, are considered to fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

Due to the suede material, it is highly recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or very wet conditions. Water can easily stain, stiffen, and potentially damage the suede. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What does 'Gel-NYC' signify?

Gel-NYC refers to a specific series or model within the ASICS Gel collection. It typically indicates a design inspired by urban environments, blending classic ASICS aesthetics with modern styling for everyday wear in city settings.

Troubleshooting

Suede material appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, gently use a suede eraser or a suede-specific cleaning product. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first and allow shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Shoes feel less cushioned over time.

Ensure the shoes are used for their intended urban and casual purpose, not high-impact sports. Rotating your footwear can extend the life of the cushioning. If significant discomfort persists, consider replacing the insole.

Feet feel hot or sweaty after prolonged wear.

While the shoes feature breathable materials, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks, such as moisture-wicking athletic socks. Allow the shoes to air out properly between wears by removing insoles if possible.

Suede feels stiff or looks matted.

After cleaning or if exposed to some moisture, the suede nap might appear matted. Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap by brushing in various directions, then finishing in one direction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Using your ASICS Gel-NYC Trainers is straightforward. Simply put them on and ensure a comfortable fit. Lacing should be snug but not restrictive to allow for natural foot movement.

Compatibility:

  • Usage: Designed primarily for urban lifestyle, casual wear, and street style. Ideal for daily walking, commuting, and social activities.
  • Footwear: Pair with appropriate socks for optimal comfort and moisture management.
  • Terrain: Best suited for urban surfaces like pavements, concrete, and indoor environments. Avoid rough terrain or extensive use in wet, muddy conditions.

Care:

Given the suede material of your Gel-NYC trainers, specific care is crucial to maintain their appearance and longevity:

  1. Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protective spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust from the surface. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor scuffs or marks, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the affected area.
  4. Deep Cleaning (Suede Specific): For deeper stains, use a suede-specific cleaning solution. Follow the product instructions carefully, applying sparingly with a clean cloth or sponge. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  5. Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  6. Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage, which can stain, stiffen, and alter its texture. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions.
  7. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
