FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
While the ASICS Gel-1090 offers good cushioning, it is primarily designed for general running, urban commuting, and casual wear. For marathon distances, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning might be more appropriate.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide available on the product page or manufacturer's website. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. Consider your intended use, as some prefer a snugger fit for running and a slightly looser fit for casual wear.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in ASICS footwear is designed to absorb shock efficiently upon impact, providing cushioning and protecting joints during physical activity.
Is the 'Grey Black' colorway available in other sizes?
This specific product listing is for size UK 9.5. The ASICS Gel-1090 series is available in various sizes and sometimes other colorways. Please check the available options or the brand's official website for a complete selection.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
For training and running, moisture-wicking athletic socks are recommended to keep your feet dry. For casual wear, standard athletic or cotton socks work well. Ensure your socks provide a comfortable fit without bunching up.
What is the heel type of the ASICS Gel-1090?
The ASICS Gel-1090 features a flat heel type, which provides a stable base suitable for a variety of movements and activities.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort during initial wear
This is common as the shoe needs a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely. Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with a different material that offers better grip.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces. If still too tight, ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the product description for sizing recommendations or consult a size guide.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning may degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the trainers if the cushioning no longer provides adequate support after prolonged wear.
