FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they are inspired by performance running shoes, the GEL-NYC 2.0 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for walking and everyday use.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the standard sockliner can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if required.
How do I determine my size?
The GEL-NYC 2.0 fits true to size for most users, but we recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest.
Is the GEL technology visible?
Yes, the GEL components are integrated into the midsole and are typically visible as part of the shoe's technical design aesthetic.
How do I prevent the shoes from losing their shape?
We recommend using shoe trees when not in use and avoiding leaving them in extreme heat conditions, such as inside a car during summer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during long wear
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser across the midfoot or ensure you are using thin performance socks to allow for natural foot swelling.
Visible scuffs on the upper material
Gently use a dry suede or mesh-safe eraser brush to lift surface dust; do not use heavy water saturation on delicate upper panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. To ensure longevity, keep the following care instructions in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or debris from the upper. For deeper stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and wipe gently with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial cleaning agents.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or in the dryer, as this can degrade the foam and glue integrity.
- Compatibility: These shoes feature a standard lacing system, allowing for custom tension adjustment. They work best with athletic socks to help manage moisture and maintain interior freshness.
