FAQs
Are ASICS GEL-NYC suitable for running or gym workouts?
While the GEL-NYC incorporates ASICS' cushioning technology, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For dedicated running or intensive gym workouts, we recommend specialized ASICS performance footwear.
How do I determine my correct size if I usually wear US sizes?
The ASICS GEL-NYC listed is a UK Size 6. ASICS generally provides conversion charts on their official website. For an accurate fit, it's always best to refer to a size guide or try them on.
What is the best way to clean the white mesh and synthetic upper?
Gently clean the upper with a soft brush or cloth using a solution of mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Can I put my ASICS GEL-NYC in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe, potentially voiding any warranty. Always opt for hand cleaning.
What does the 'GEL' in ASICS GEL-NYC stand for?
'GEL' refers to ASICS' signature GEL technology cushioning system. This material is strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock and provide enhanced comfort and impact protection.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The mesh and synthetic upper of the ASICS GEL-NYC offers minimal water resistance. They are not designed to be waterproof, so it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent soaking and staining.
Troubleshooting
White upper appears dirty quickly.
Spot clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a sneaker cleaner specifically designed for mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid letting dirt sit for too long.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct UK size 6. Consider trying different sock thicknesses or specialty insoles for a customized fit if the size is correct.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture inside the shoe or friction between the insole and the shoe bed. Remove the insole, clean both surfaces, sprinkle a little baby powder or cornstarch underneath, and reinsert. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry.
Sole appears discolored or yellowed.
Over time, white rubber can yellow. Specific sole cleaning products with whitening agents can help restore the original color. Avoid leaving shoes in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV light can accelerate yellowing.

The ASICS GEL-NYC requires no complex setup; simply lace them up to your preferred tightness. Ensure a comfortable fit by trying them on and walking around before extended wear. These shoes are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure attire. To care for your white GEL-NYC sneakers, regular cleaning is crucial. For the mesh and synthetic upper, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the materials and adhesives. For tougher spots, a soft brush can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and prevent discoloration.
