FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they use running-derived technology, the Gel-NYC is categorized as a lifestyle performance trainer, making it best suited for daily walking rather than training for a marathon.
How does the sizing run?
The ASICS Gel-NYC generally fits true to size for adults; however, if you plan to wear thick performance socks, you may consider a half-size increase.
Are they water-resistant?
The trainers feature leather components, which offer some protection against light moisture, but they are not waterproof.
What is the primary material used?
The shoe features a durable leather upper construction for style and structural support.
Do the reflective details work well?
Yes, the integrated reflective accents are designed to increase your visibility when light hits them during low-light conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty removing dirt from layered crevices
Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the intersection points of the upper materials without saturating the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-NYC trainers last, keep them away from harsh chemical cleaners that might degrade the metallic accents. When the leather becomes soiled, use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently remove debris. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the foam materials. Because these utilize a standard athletic fit, they are compatible with most aftermarket orthopedic insoles if you require additional arch support.
