FAQs
Are the GEL-NYC 2.0 trainers suitable for running?
The GEL-NYC 2.0 trainers are designed for comfort and light activities. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of high-impact running. For dedicated running, ASICS recommends their specialized running shoe lines.
What is the main difference between the GEL-NYC and GEL-NYC 2.0?
The GEL-NYC 2.0 features an updated midsole formation with FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, creating a lighter and more comfortable feel compared to the first version.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the ASICS size guide for accurate measurements. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Many users find that ASICS trainers fit true to size, but personal preference for fit can vary.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The trainers feature a mesh upper and leather overlays, which offer some protection but are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What type of support do these trainers offer?
They offer moderate support through TRUSSTIC™ support units for stability and GEL™ technology for shock absorption. They are suitable for individuals who do not require specialized motion control or heavy pronation support.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, based on usage and appearance. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap will help maintain their look and longevity.
What is the warranty period for ASICS footwear?
ASICS typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty information provided with your purchase or on the ASICS website for detailed terms and conditions.
Troubleshooting
Foot fatigue after extended wear
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for enhanced arch support or cushioning.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be limited. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that could affect grip.
Leather overlays showing scuffs
Minor scuffs on leather can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more significant marks, consider using a leather conditioner or polish suitable for athletic footwear.
Mesh upper feels too warm
The mesh is designed for breathability, but in very warm conditions, additional moisture-wicking socks can help manage heat and perspiration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. To care for your ASICS GEL-NYC 2.0 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather overlays with a damp cloth. For the mesh upper, use a soft brush and a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, remove them and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
