FAQs

Are ASICS GEL-NYC Junior sneakers suitable for running?

While they offer excellent cushioning and comfort for daily wear and urban walking, they are not specifically engineered as high-performance running shoes. For dedicated running, consider ASICS's specialized running footwear lines.

How do I ensure the best fit for my child?

Measure your child's foot length and compare it to the ASICS size chart. It's often recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

The GEL-NYC Junior sneakers are not waterproof. The mesh and suede upper can get wet. For wet weather, consider waterproof footwear.

What is GEL technology?

ASICS GEL technology involves strategically placed silicone-based material that provides superior shock absorption, cushioning, and comfort by attenuating impact during movement.

How often should I clean the shoes?

Regular light cleaning, especially brushing off dirt from the suede and mesh after wear, will help maintain their appearance. Deep clean as needed when visible dirt or stains appear.

Are these shoes durable for active kids?

Yes, the combination of durable textile, synthetic, and suede materials, along with a grippy rubber outsole, is designed to withstand the rigors of everyday urban adventures for active kids.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust lacing tension; ensure you have the correct size by referring to ASICS's size guide.

Squeaking sound while walking

Check for small debris lodged in the outsole treads. If the squeak comes from the insole, remove it, clean both the insole and the shoe interior, then reinsert it.

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner following product instructions.

Poor traction on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good grip, wet and slippery surfaces require extra caution. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris.

Unpleasant odor inside shoes

Remove insoles and air out the shoes overnight. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside and left overnight (then vacuumed out).
