FAQs
Are the Asics Gel-NYC trainers suitable for running?
The Gel-NYC trainers are designed primarily for everyday wear and light workouts. While they offer good cushioning for walking and general comfort, they may not provide the specialized support and responsiveness required for intense or long-distance running.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from lightweight synthetic material, designed for breathability, flexibility, and durability.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the Asics sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure your heel is snug and there is adequate space in the toe box. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly swollen, can help ensure a comfortable fit.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash Asics Gel-NYC trainers. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems. Hand washing using a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred cleaning method.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The integrated GEL-system in the midsole effectively absorbs shock during impact, providing a softer landing and helping to protect your joints.
Are these trainers available in different widths?
Availability of different widths can vary by region and specific model release. Please check the product listings for available width options.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not too tight fit. Wear with appropriate athletic socks. If the issue persists, the shoes may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole, or if moisture is trapped. Try removing the insole, drying both thoroughly, and then replacing the insole. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also help.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear, typically several hundred miles or when noticeable reduction in comfort occurs.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Gel-NYC trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap diluted in water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Ensure any dirt or debris is removed.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and wash them separately by hand.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
