FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Asics Gel-NYC is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, offering excellent comfort for daily activities and walking. While they incorporate performance-inspired GEL technology, they are not engineered for high-intensity running or athletic training.

How do I choose the correct size?

We recommend referring to the standard ASICS size chart. If you are typically between sizes, it's often advisable to try the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The upper features airy mesh and suede, which are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the materials and lead to discomfort.

How often should I clean my Gel-NYC shoes?

Cleaning frequency depends on your usage and environment. For light dirt, a quick wipe down after each use can help. For deeper cleaning, do so as needed to maintain their appearance and material integrity, especially for the cream and beige colors.

What is the GEL technology in these shoes?

ASICS GEL technology is a proprietary cushioning system based on silicone, strategically placed in high-impact areas of the sole. In the Gel-NYC, it's located in both the forefoot and rearfoot to absorb shock, reduce impact on your joints, and provide enhanced comfort.

Are these shoes heavy?

No, the Asics Gel-NYC features a lightweight foam midsole combined with GEL technology. This design ensures advanced underfoot comfort and support without adding unnecessary weight, making them suitable for all-day wear.

Are replacement laces available?

Info needed: Please check with ASICS customer support or authorized retailers for availability of replacement laces in matching colors and lengths.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing system for a more customized fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns. If the issue persists, consider trying half a size up or down, as shoe fit can vary by individual foot shape.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior or between outsole components. Try removing and reinserting the insole. If it continues, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insole can often reduce friction and silence the squeak. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry.

Dirty marks or scuffs on the suede or mesh upper.

For mesh, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, gently scrubbing the affected area. For suede, use a dedicated suede brush and cleaner, gently brushing in one direction to lift the nap and remove dirt. For stubborn scuffs on synthetic areas, a clean eraser can sometimes work. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Foot discomfort or lack of arch support after long wear.

While the Gel-NYC offers significant cushioning, individual foot arch types vary. Consider using an aftermarket insole designed for arch support or additional cushioning to better suit your specific needs. Ensure you have the correct size, as ill-fitting shoes can lead to discomfort.

Compatibility

  • Gender: Designed as a unisex shoe, suitable for both men and women.
  • Style: Their versatile retro-modern aesthetic makes them compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear outfits, including jeans, joggers, shorts, and casual dresses.
  • Sizing: Refer to the standard ASICS size chart to ensure the best fit. Consider your usual athletic shoe size.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Asics Gel-NYC shoes, especially given their lighter colorway and mixed materials:

  1. Cleaning the Upper (Mesh, Suede, Synthetic):
  • For Mesh & Synthetic: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub in circular motions.
  • For Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Always brush in one direction.
  • Avoid: Do not use harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color.
  1. Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Avoid: Do not place them in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage adhesives and materials.
  1. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust.
