FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
While they offer great comfort and support, they are primarily lifestyle trainers and not specialized for high-performance sports like competitive track or basketball.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
There should be about a half-inch of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural movement.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the leather and compromise the adhesive integrity of the midsole.
Is the leather material difficult to clean?
Most surface dirt can be wiped away with a damp cloth, making maintenance straightforward if handled regularly.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the structured design provides standard arch support suitable for everyday activity.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy use
Apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for footwear to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing in the toe box area
This is normal for high-quality leather; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain the original shape.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double knot is tied, or replace with slightly shorter laces if the current ones are too long.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics GEL-NYC trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short periods during the first few days to allow the leather to adapt to the foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the material.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never expose the shoes to direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack or shrink the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray to protect against light rain and stains.
