FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-NYC trainers are designed primarily for daily wear and urban exploration, offering excellent comfort. While they can handle light jogs, they are not specifically engineered for the high-mileage demands and specialized support required for marathon running.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
A properly fitting shoe should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should not cause pressure points.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The synthetic upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider waterproof footwear.
What is the main difference between the GEL-NYC and other ASICS running shoes?
The GEL-NYC combines heritage design elements with modern comfort technology for lifestyle and daily use. Many other ASICS running shoes are purpose-built for specific running disciplines (e.g., road running, trail running, racing) with features optimized for performance in those contexts.
How often should I clean my GEL-NYC trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after heavy use or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain their appearance and prolong their lifespan.
Is the white color difficult to keep clean?
White shoes require more frequent cleaning to maintain their appearance. Promptly cleaning spills or dirt marks with a damp cloth will help prevent them from setting in.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constrictive fit. If discomfort persists, check if the size is correct or consider if the shoe needs a brief break-in period.
Squeaking sound during walking.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between shoe components or the insole. Try removing the insole, ensuring both it and the interior are dry, and then reinserting it. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
While GEL and foam cushioning are durable, their effectiveness can decrease with extensive wear. Regular cleaning can help maintain their performance. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but all shoes have limitations on very slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from dirt or debris that could affect traction. Exercise caution on wet or icy conditions.

Care:
To maintain the quality and appearance of your GEL-NYC trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning by hand with mild soap and water. Ensure they are fully dry before re-inserting.
