FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. If you have wider feet, it's recommended to try them on in person or look for models specifically offered in wide sizes, though this model is not explicitly stated as such.
Can I wear these for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning for general use, they are best suited for shorter runs or daily wear. For marathon distances, specialized marathon shoes with advanced support and cushioning are typically recommended.
How do I clean the white mesh parts?
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Avoid oversaturating the material and allow it to air dry completely.
What is the main difference between the forefoot and rear GEL technology?
GEL in the forefoot primarily helps with shock absorption during toe-off, while rearfoot GEL focuses on cushioning impact during the heel strike phase of your gait.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Is this shoe waterproof?
No, the mesh and suede construction is not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and general use, not for wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if this is the correct size or if a break-in period is needed. For immediate relief, try different lacing techniques.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaner guide or professional service, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
This is normal wear. The GEL technology provides long-lasting cushioning, but like all shoe components, it can degrade. Consider replacement if significant comfort is lost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Compatibility is high for casual wear and athletic activities. To care for your ASICS Gel-NYC trainers:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt from suede areas. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by brushing.
- Cleaning Mesh & Sole: Wipe down the mesh and sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can damage the materials and structure.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
