FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are designed for general training and everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of marathon running. For dedicated marathon training, ASICS recommends specialized running shoes from their performance running lines.
How do I clean the GEL-NYC trainers?
Clean the trainers using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology in the forefoot and rearfoot provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints and offering a smoother transition during movement.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, ASICS offers the GEL-NYC series in both men's and women's specific sizing and designs, ensuring a suitable fit for different genders.
Do these trainers require a break-in period?
Like many athletic shoes, the GEL-NYC trainers may benefit from a short break-in period. Wearing them for shorter durations initially can help them conform to your foot shape for maximum comfort.
What kind of surfaces are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are best suited for general training environments, including gym floors, pavements, and light trails. They offer good traction and support for a variety of activities.
Where can I find information on other colorways or sizes?
Information on available colorways and sizes can typically be found on the product listing page or by checking with authorized ASICS retailers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight, to accommodate your foot.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Dirt or stains on the upper material
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently scrub the stained area with a soft brush and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Reduced cushioning over time
While GEL technology is durable, cushioning can decrease with heavy use. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended use cases and consider rotating with another pair of shoes for longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers require no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct fit. Upon receiving your trainers, wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit without being overly tight.

Care: To maintain the condition of your GEL-NYC trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, clean insoles separately according to their material instructions. Allow them to dry completely before reinserting.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and damage.
