FAQs

What is the primary material of the ASICS Gel-1090 trainers?

The primary material for the upper of these trainers is leather.

Are these trainers suitable for professional sports?

While comfortable and supportive for daily wear and light activities, these trainers are primarily designed for a retro-sporty lifestyle look and may not offer the specialized features required for professional athletic training.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size chart and ensure your foot measurements align with the UK 11.5 size. The trainers should feel snug but not restrictive.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Leather shoes can stretch slightly over time with wear. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially or using thicker socks. If still uncomfortable, check if a larger size is available.

Leather creasing

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Sole becoming slippery

Ensure the sole is clean from dirt and debris. If the slipperiness persists, the tread may be worn down, indicating it's time to consider replacement.

Care Instructions:
