FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday wear. While they provide excellent comfort, they lack the technical features required for dedicated running.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical size, but ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and the GEL cushioning.
Do they provide arch support?
Yes, the design includes a supportive midsole that offers a balanced level of arch support suitable for most neutral foot types.
Is the material waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to use a standard fabric protectant spray if you anticipate walking in light rain.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the laces with any standard length trainer lace if you wish to change the look or if the original laces wear out.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the grey upper
Gently scrub the affected area with a soft-bristled brush and a mild soapy water solution, then pat dry with a clean towel.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Check if the insole has worn down or compressed; consider replacing the original insole with an aftermarket orthotic version for added support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-NYC 2 GX trainers maintain their appearance and structure, follow these basic care guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or a dry cloth after use.
- Stain Management: For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the materials.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup or discoloration of the synthetic uppers.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. If you wear custom orthotics, the factory insole is removable to allow for a better fit.
