FAQs
What kind of activities are these sneakers best for?
The ASICS Men's GEL-NYC sneakers are best suited for casual everyday wear, walking, and light leisure activities. Their design emphasizes comfort and style for urban environments and daily routines.
How does the GEL technology work?
The GEL-CUMULUS 16 GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system placed in the forefoot and rearfoot. It absorbs shock effectively, dissipating impact forces during footstrike and toe-off, which provides a softer landing and smoother transition.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The ASICS Men's GEL-NYC sneakers are not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light splashes, we recommend avoiding heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials. You can apply a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the material of the upper?
The original description does not explicitly state the specific upper material for this Black/Graphite Grey variant. It features a pre-shaped design inspired by heritage models. For best care, assume a blend of synthetic materials and textiles. (Info needed: specific material composition).
How should I choose the right size?
This specific product is a UK size 7. ASICS generally fits true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Consider your usual athletic shoe size.
Can I use my own insoles with these sneakers?
Yes, the factory insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert your preferred orthotic or custom insoles for personalized comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct UK size 7. Adjust lacing for a more customized fit. Over time, the upper materials may slightly conform to your foot.
Foot discomfort during wear.
Check if your socks are too thick or thin. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Sometimes, new shoes may squeak. This often resolves itself with wear. If it persists, try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction.
Soles feel slippery.
Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. The outsole pattern is designed for casual traction, but may not offer optimal grip on very wet or icy surfaces.
Shoes get dirty easily.
Regularly wipe down your shoes with a damp cloth after wear. Consider applying a sneaker protector spray to help repel dirt and water. Clean stains promptly.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your GEL-NYC sneakers.
- Cleaning:
- For general dirt and dust, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth.
- For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and keep them fresh.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in plastic bags as this can trap moisture.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for sneakers to help protect the upper materials. (Info needed: specific material for this variant for precise protector recommendation).
