FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC Trainers suitable for marathon running?
The GEL technology offers good cushioning for long distances, but they are generally considered versatile trainers suitable for various activities rather than specialized marathon shoes. For dedicated marathoners, shoes with more advanced support and cushioning might be preferred.
How do I know if I need a wide fit?
If standard-width shoes often feel tight across the ball of your foot, or if you experience numbness or discomfort, you may benefit from a wide fit. The ASICS Gel-NYC in this variant is a standard width.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash ASICS trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies based on usage frequency, intensity, and surface. For running, ASICS trainers typically last between 300-500 miles. For general training and casual wear, they can last significantly longer with proper care.
Is the Green/Grey colorway available in other sizes?
This guide specifically covers the Green/Grey variant in UK Size 8.5. Other colorways and sizes are available within the ASICS Gel-NYC series, and you may find sibling products listed separately.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The upper material is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are not waterproof and will get wet in heavy rain or if submerged.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or narrow
The Gel-NYC series can run narrow. Consider trying a half-size up or exploring wide-fit options if available. Breaking them in gradually may also help them adapt to your foot shape.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides excellent grip, but performance on extremely wet surfaces may be diminished. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For very slick conditions, exercise caution.
Discomfort during long runs
While designed for cushioning, prolonged high-impact activity can still cause fatigue. Ensure the shoes fit correctly and consider replacing them if they have exceeded their lifespan (typically 300-500 miles for running shoes).
Upper material appears worn quickly
The breathable upper is designed for ventilation. Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. Clean gently to preserve the material's integrity.

- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause them to warp or shrink.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out for separate cleaning or airing.
