FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are best suited for everyday wear, walking, and light training activities. They are designed for comfort and style rather than high-performance sports.
How do I ensure the correct size?
It is recommended to consult the ASICS sizing guide for accurate measurements. Pay attention to UK sizing as indicated. Trying them on if possible is the best way to ensure a perfect fit.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and structure of the trainers. Hand cleaning as per the care instructions is advised.
What is the heel type on the Gel-NYC trainers?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers feature a flat heel.
Are these trainers suitable for running long distances?
While comfortable for general wear, these trainers are not specifically designed for long-distance running. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
What does the 'Gel-NYC' name signify?
The 'Gel' refers to ASICS' signature GEL technology for shock absorption, and 'NYC' likely signifies inspiration from urban environments or lifestyle trends, blending heritage with modern appeal.
How do I clean the grey material?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit or discomfort on first wear
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to conform to your feet. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.
Squeaking noise from the soles
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help, or consult customer support.
Dirt or stains on the fabric
Refer to the 'Care' section for cleaning instructions. Use a soft brush and a damp cloth for light stains. For tougher stains, consider a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for trainers.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a similar length and material. ASICS or general sports retailers offer replacement laces.

Compatibility: These trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. They are suitable for adult males.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gel-NYC trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic materials. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
