FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GEL-NYC incorporates performance running technology, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle sneaker rather than a dedicated high-performance marathon shoe.
Can I wash the GEL-NYC trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and suede materials. Use manual cleaning methods to maintain the shoe's condition.
What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC support unit?
The TRUSSTIC unit is designed to provide torsional stability, preventing the shoe from twisting excessively during movement.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, many variants of the GEL-NYC are designed as unisex trainers, providing a consistent fit for various foot shapes.
How should I store my ASICS sneakers to keep them in good condition?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape, and keeping them out of direct sunlight prevents material fading.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on leather or suede exterior
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dust and a damp, non-abrasive cloth for light stains. Avoid submerging in water.
Uncomfortable fit or pressure points
Ensure laces are adjusted evenly to distribute pressure across the bridge of the foot. Consider using thinner or thicker socks to adjust the internal volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers, proper care is essential. Because these models often feature leather or suede components, avoid machine washing, which can damage the texture and integrity of the materials. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth for minor dust or dirt. If you encounter heavier stains, use a specialized leather or suede cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the cushioning properties of the internal GEL units.
