FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or gym workouts?

While the ASICS GEL-NYC is inspired by heritage running styles and features GEL™ technology for comfort, it is primarily designed for casual everyday wear and lifestyle purposes rather than high-performance running or intense gym workouts.

How does the GEL™ technology benefit me?

GEL™ technology uses silicone-based gel inserts in the midsole to provide advanced cushioning and absorb shock during impact, leading to enhanced underfoot comfort and reduced strain on your feet during prolonged wear.

What materials are the trainers made from?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather overlays. The sole features lightweight foams and GEL™ technology, with a robust rubber outsole for traction.

Is the sizing true to fit?

ASICS generally offers consistent sizing, and the GEL-NYC typically runs true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so referring to a size guide or trying them on to confirm the best fit is always recommended.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions provided for cleaning by hand.

How can I prevent my trainers from developing odors?

To prevent odors, allow your trainers to air out completely after each wear. Removing the insoles can help with ventilation. Using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees can also effectively absorb moisture and maintain freshness.

Troubleshooting

My trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have laced them correctly and not too tightly. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. Consider wearing them with thinner or thicker socks. If discomfort persists, the size may not be ideal for your foot shape, and checking sizing against ASICS' guidelines or trying a half-size up or down might be necessary.

The mesh or leather upper looks dirty or stained.

For mesh, gently brush off loose dirt, then use a mild soap solution (like dish soap and water) with a soft brush or cloth to clean. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied sparingly. Always air dry thoroughly.

There's a squeaking sound when I walk.

Squeaking can often be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's footbed. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch into the shoe to reduce friction, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure laces are tied correctly.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care extends the life and maintains the appearance of your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers.

  1. Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe down the mesh and leather surfaces.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. For mesh, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be effective.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  4. Odor Prevention: Remove insoles to air out after wear, and consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain freshness.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color.
