FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by performance running silhouettes, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and daily activity rather than long-distance running.
Are the Gel-NYC trainers true to size?
Generally, the Gel-NYC fits true to size. If you prefer a bit of extra room for thicker socks, some users recommend going up a half size.
How do I keep the cream color looking fresh?
Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for your shoe material before wearing them outside, and wipe them down after each use.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the cushioning foam. Always clean by hand.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears
Adjust the lacing tension; sometimes the factory lacing is pulled too tightly for initial packaging. Re-lace for a custom fit.
Visible scuffs on the cream-colored upper
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a damp cloth with a mild leather/fabric cleaner to spot-treat the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-NYC trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Break-in: While these shoes offer immediate comfort, wearing them for shorter periods during the first two days helps the upper material conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and maintain the freshness of the interior.
