FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the GEL-NYC RGD trainers?

These trainers feature lightweight foams and GEL technology inserts in the midsole, providing advanced underfoot comfort and shock absorption.

The upper construction combines textile and synthetic leather with mesh underlays.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are snug. For more room, loosen the laces, especially around the forefoot.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more walks. If the noise persists, check for any debris trapped in the sole or between the upper and sole. A light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe may also help.
Stains on upper material
Refer to the 'Care Instructions' for cleaning methods. Use a damp cloth and mild soap solution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
