FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the GEL-NYC Trainers?
The GEL-NYC Trainers are designed for a blend of everyday comfort, lifestyle wear, and light performance running, combining heritage and modern design elements.
How does the GEL™ technology benefit the wearer?
GEL™ technology inserts are located in key areas of the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact during heel strike and creating a softer landing.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning, they are optimized for lighter running and daily use. For dedicated marathon training, specialized running shoes with advanced marathon-specific features might be more suitable.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoes. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth.
What does TRUSSTIC™ support do?
TRUSSTIC™ support units are integrated into the midsole to provide stability in the midfoot, preventing twisting and offering a more controlled stride.
How does the FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning differ from standard foam?
FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning is designed to be lighter and more responsive than traditional foams, providing a more energetic and comfortable feel underfoot.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan depends heavily on usage and care. For regular daily wear and light running, they should provide good performance for several hundred miles or a year or two of consistent use before significant wear is noticed.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing the correct size and appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, check for any internal seams or debris.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning materials may compress with extended use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended scope (e.g., very high-impact sports). Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Slipping or lack of traction
Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If the wear is significant, the outsole may need replacement, which is generally not a user-serviceable part.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and a very mild soap. Blot the area and allow to air dry. Avoid soaking the mesh.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh upper and leather overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt on the midsole or outsole, use a mild soap and water solution.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a clothes dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material integrity.
- Socks: Wearing appropriate socks can enhance comfort and help manage moisture within the shoe.
