FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers incorporate running-inspired elements and GEL technology for comfort, but they are primarily designed as lifestyle sneakers for everyday casual wear, not for performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid water and harsh chemicals, as they can stain or damage suede. Consider a suede protector spray for prevention.
Are these trainers true to size?
ASICS shoes generally tend to run true to size for most individuals. 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 rainy weather?
While the trainers are durable, the suede overlays are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions as suede can stain or get damaged when soaked. It's best to wear them in dry weather or use a protective spray.
What is GEL technology and how does it benefit me?
GEL technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock, provide superior comfort, and enhance the shoe's overall feel, especially in the heel and forefoot.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The ASICS GEL-NYC provides a comfortable and cushioned ride suitable for daily wear. For individuals requiring specific or advanced arch support, custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles can be easily accommodated.
Troubleshooting
Suede overlays appear dirty or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently rub away surface dirt and restore the natural texture of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective.
Shoes feel less comfortable or supportive after extended wear.
The integrated GEL technology provides lasting comfort, but if you notice reduced support, consider replacing the factory insoles with aftermarket athletic insoles tailored to your foot type for renewed cushioning and arch support.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
While the gum rubber outsole offers good traction, ensure the soles are clean. Dirt or debris can reduce grip. If the issue persists, evaluate the surface type; no shoe provides universal grip on all conditions.
Strong odor developing inside the shoes.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to help them dry. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your GEL-NYC trainers, especially given the suede components.
- Regular Cleaning: For the mesh upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap.
- Spot Treatment: Address stains promptly. For suede, use a suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar on a clean cloth for tougher marks. For mesh, a soft brush with diluted laundry detergent can work.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat (like radiators or sunlight) to prevent material damage and warping.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray to help repel water and stains, particularly important for the suede overlays.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash your trainers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
