FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-1090 trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-1090 trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle use. While they offer good grip and comfort for walking, they are not engineered for the specific support and cushioning required for intense running or athletic training.
What does the 'Gel' in ASICS Gel-1090 refer to?
The 'GEL' technology in ASICS footwear refers to a silicone-based cushioning system designed to absorb shock effectively and provide long-lasting comfort.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit means there should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The trainers offer decent grip, but they are not waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended as it can affect the materials and comfort.
What is the main color of this specific model?
This specific model, the 'Cream Gray Blue', features blue as the main color, with cream and gray accents.
How durable is the sole?
The sole is designed for durability and excellent grip, suitable for everyday wear and light activities. Regular care will help maximize its lifespan.
What does the tiger claw pattern signify?
The tiger claw pattern is an aesthetic design element inspired by ASICS' heritage, adding a distinctive visual flair to the sneaker's front and back.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on the sole
This can result from gait or frequent use on abrasive surfaces. Ensure you are using the correct size and consider rotating with other footwear for daily use.
Discomfort after short wear
Ensure the correct UK size has been purchased. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, they may not be suitable for your foot type or intended activity.
Color transfer to socks
In rare cases, darker colors may transfer slightly, especially when new and wet. This usually subsides after initial wears. If it persists, test with darker socks.
Creasing on the leather upper
Creasing is natural with leather and indicates the shoe is being used. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS Gel-1090 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather and synthetic surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris from the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and sunlight. Remove insoles if they become damp to aid drying.
- Laces: Remove laces before cleaning and wash them separately if needed.
