FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature performance technology like GEL and FF BLAST PLUS, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for walking and daily wear rather than high-mileage running.

How should I clean the suede upper?

Use a specialized suede brush or a soft cloth. Do not soak the shoes in water, as this can stain or damage the suede texture.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The GEL-NYC 2.0 generally fits true to size, providing a secure, structured fit consistent with standard Asics sizing.

What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC unit?

The TRUSSTIC unit is a support component that adds stability and prevents the shoe from twisting unnecessarily, providing a safer and more balanced platform.

Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.

Are they appropriate for rainy weather?

Due to the suede material, it is best to avoid heavy rain as water can saturate the suede and cause it to lose its finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible surface dust or dirt on suede

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap of the material.

Midsole feels stiff after initial wear

The FF BLAST PLUS cushioning often requires a short break-in period; continue walking in the shoes for 2-3 days to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.

Minor moisture on the upper

Blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and let the shoes air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature suede construction, they are not intended for heavy wet-weather use. To maintain the integrity of the material, avoid machine washing or drying. For routine cleaning, use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove dust and surface dirt from the suede. For tougher stains, utilize a dedicated suede cleaner or a damp cloth with a mild detergent, ensuring you allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources. When styling, the neutral grey tones pair well with denim, chinos, or athletic wear, making them a highly compatible addition to any adult wardrobe.
