FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While they utilize GEL technology for comfort, the Gel-Nyc series is designed primarily for lifestyle and everyday wear rather than high-performance athletic training.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainer?

Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove dust. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaning block and avoid using water.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Most users find them to be true to standard sizing, but if you prefer a roomier fit, you may consider sizing up by a half-size.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.

Are they waterproof?

The materials are not waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the leather and suede finish.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed using a mix of premium leather and suede, depending on the specific colourway variant.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.

Minor scuffs on suede panels

Gently rub the area with a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to lift the nap and remove surface marks.

Difficulty keeping the shoes clean

Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and suede immediately after purchase to create a protective barrier.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Nyc trainers, proper care is essential. Since the shoes feature leather and suede elements, avoid machine washing, which can damage the materials and adhesive bonds. Instead, wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush or a dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede or leather cleaner applied sparingly to a cloth rather than directly to the shoe. Ensure you store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colours from fading. When lacing, do not overtighten the top eyelets to maintain the structural integrity of the padded collar.
