FAQs
What is ASICS GEL technology and how does it benefit me?
ASICS GEL technology involves strategically placed silicone-based gel units in the midsole. These units are designed to absorb shock during impact, protecting your joints and providing a smoother transition and an ultra-comfortable, cushioned ride.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While the GEL-NYC trainers offer excellent cushioning and comfort for daily wear and city exploration, they are primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. For dedicated long-distance running or high-performance athletic training, ASICS offers specific running shoe lines optimized for those activities.
How should I clean the different materials of the shoe?
For the mesh, use a soft brush and mild soapy water, wiping gently with a damp cloth. For leather overlays, a soft cloth with a small amount of leather cleaner or mild soap is best. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Do these trainers run true to size?
ASICS generally aims for consistent sizing. This specific pair is UK size 12. For best fit, we recommend trying them on or consulting a size guide if you are unsure, especially if you have specific sizing preferences for ASICS models. Info needed: Specific fit guidance beyond general sizing.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are not specifically designed to be waterproof. While the materials can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water is not recommended and could lead to water absorption. Info needed: Specific water resistance rating.
What is the primary material composition of these trainers?
The upper part of the trainers is a combination of breathable mesh with durable leather and synthetic overlays. The sole is made from synthetic materials, featuring a spongy foam midsole and a tough rubber tread.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or rubbed after wearing them.
Ensure your trainers are laced correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Check that you are wearing appropriate socks for cushioning and moisture-wicking. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct shoe size and consider breaking them in with shorter wears initially.
The trainers appear dirty or stained quickly.
The mixed material upper (Leather & Textile) can show dirt. Clean regularly with a soft brush and a damp cloth using mild soap. For leather sections, a dedicated leather cleaner can be beneficial. Prompt cleaning prevents stains from setting in.
I'm experiencing less traction than expected on some surfaces.
While the tough rubber tread offers firm traction, performance can vary based on surface conditions (e.g., very wet or oily surfaces). Ensure the tread is clean of debris. Exercise caution on slippery terrains, as these are primarily designed for urban environments.

Care Instructions
To ensure your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers remain in excellent condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the Leather & Textile Upper, use a soft brush or a damp, clean cloth with mild soap (like diluted dish soap or a sneaker cleaner) to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the materials. For stubborn spots on leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner if necessary.
- Cleaning the Sole: The Synthetic Sole and rubber tread can be cleaned with a brush and soapy water to remove dirt and grime. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or crack. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Odour Control: If needed, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorisers or baking soda inside the shoes to absorb moisture and odours.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
