FAQs
What type of activities are the ASICS Gel-1090 trainers best suited for?
They are best suited for general fitness training, walking, and casual everyday wear due to their GEL cushioning and supportive design.
How do I clean the leather parts of the trainers?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn stains, following the cleaner's instructions. Always allow them to air dry.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not designed for use in wet conditions.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially with a leather upper, as it can damage the materials and the cushioning system.
What is the benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning in the heel provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during walking and training activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit means there should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, with no pinching or excessive tightness around the width.
What is the main difference between the Gel-1090 and other ASICS running shoes?
The Gel-1090 is often designed with a stronger emphasis on retro style and cushioning for everyday wear and light training, whereas many dedicated running shoes focus on specific features like enhanced responsiveness or stability for longer distances.
Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate athletic socks. If the issue persists, consider insoles for added cushioning or support.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL cushioning may naturally compress after prolonged use. For immediate relief, ensure laces are properly tied for optimal foot support. Consider replacing the shoes if performance significantly degrades.
Slipping during activity
Check if the outsole is worn down. Clean the outsole of any debris. Ensure you are using them on appropriate surfaces; they are designed for indoor training and paved surfaces, not slippery or uneven terrain.
