FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GEL-NYC 2.0 features running-inspired technology, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear, not as a specialized performance running shoe.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your typical athletic shoe size.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a breathable mesh base with durable leather overlays.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the integrated TRUSSTIC support system helps provide structural support and stability to the midfoot area.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive components and the specialized foam cushioning. Always clean by hand.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather overlays
This is common with high-quality leather. Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the original shape.
Dirt stuck in the mesh material
Use a compressed air canister to blow out loose debris, followed by a soft-bristle toothbrush dipped in a very mild soap solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics GEL-NYC 2.0 trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the mesh panels. For the leather overlays, use a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the leather and damage the foam midsole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red and grey color pigments from fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult sizing. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider testing with your preferred hosiery before long-term wear.
