FAQs
What age group are these sneakers designed for?
These ASICS GEL-NYC sneakers are specifically designed for juniors, offering appropriate sizing and support for younger wearers.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
While they provide excellent cushioning and support for daily activities and urban adventures, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light recreational use rather than intensive running or specialized sports.
What is GEL technology?
GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock and provide a softer landing, enhancing comfort and reducing impact on joints.
How do I ensure the correct size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot and referring to the ASICS size chart. Always leave about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for comfort and growth.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
The suede material is not waterproof and should be protected from excessive moisture. While the grippy outsole offers traction on damp surfaces, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended, and specific water-repellent sprays for suede can offer some protection.
What does 'breathable mesh' mean for comfort?
Breathable mesh refers to the fabric used in parts of the shoe's upper that allows air to circulate freely. This helps to ventilate the foot, reducing sweat and keeping feet cooler and more comfortable throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. Some new shoes require a short break-in period for the materials to soften and conform to the foot.
Slipping on urban surfaces
Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or trapped debris. Clean the outsole regularly to maintain optimal grip. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
Suede material appears dull or stained
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For deeper stains, apply a suede cleaner as per product instructions. Protect suede with a suitable spray after cleaning.
Unpleasant odor from shoes
Ensure shoes are aired out after each use. Use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Mesh areas are dirty
Gently wipe mesh with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard, which can damage the mesh fabric. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

We recommend trying them on with the type of socks your child typically wears.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your GEL-NYC Junior sneakers:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust from the suede and mesh surfaces after each use.
- Suede Care: For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush or a soft, clean cloth to remove marks. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water on suede, as this can damage the material.
- Mesh Cleaning: For mesh sections, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used to gently wipe away grime.
- Drying: Always air dry sneakers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the entire shoe in water.
